Welcome totheAirFryingRevolution
The Master Culinary Air Fryer Oven is an all-in-one unit
that air-fries, roasts, grills and bakes all your favorite foods
with little or no oil
We All Love Fried Food.
Crispy fried chicken, French fries, coconut shrimp, chicken parmesan, spicy hot wings…
The list goes on and on.
Those tasty delights have become part of our everyday diet.
The problem is that it was impossible to get that great, crispy-fried crunch and flavor without
frying in deep fat or oil.
Our culinary team of chefs and engineers has perfected a cooking system that virtually eliminates
the oil from the cooking process.
Messy, unhealthy oil is replaced with Turbo Cyclonic Air that surrounds your food, cooking it to
crisp and juicy perfection.
Not only cooks your favorite fried foods, but also broils and bakes many other favorites like
“air fried” burgers, calzones, and doughnuts.
It couldn’t be easier, 12 “one touch presets” set the time and temperature for some of your favorites
like crispy shrimp, fries and southern style chicken.
Plus a Dehydrator preset that preserves fresh fruits and other foods for future use.

Cooking Tips
•
Foods that are smaller in size usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger ones.
•
“Flipping” or turning smaller sized foods halfway through the cooking process, assures that all the pieces
are evenlyfried.
•
Misting a bit of vegetable oil to fresh potatoes is suggested for a crispier result.
When adding a little oil, do so just before cooking.
•
Snacks that normally cooked in an oven can also be cooked in the Master Culinary Air Fryer Oven.
•
Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily.
Pre-made dough also requires a shorter cooking time than homemade dough.
•
Place a baking tin or oven dish in the Master Culinary Air Fryer Oven when baking a cake or quiche.
A tin or dish is also suggested when cooking fragile or filled foods.
•
Youcan use the Master Culinary Air Fryer Oven to reheat various types of food.
Simply set the temperature to 300° F (150° C) for up to 10minutes.
