AIR FRYING TIPS
• Please check on the cooking of your food as our air fryer oven cooking technology
will cook food quicker than that of convectional ovens.
• Pat the food dry before cooking to encourage browning and to avoid excess
smoke. To ensure even cooking/browning, always open the air fryer oven halfway
through the cook time and check, turn foods if required. Some recipes call to brush
or spray oil halfway through cooking. Adjust the temperature or time if needed.
• Frying small batches will require shorter cooking times and yield crispier results.
• To avoid excess smoke when cooking foods high in fat (e.g bacon, chicken wings
or sausages), it may be necessary to empty the fat gathered in the air fryer oven
drip tray between batches.
• Create a more spaced out surface area to allow more air to pass through by cutting
food into smaller pieces. This can yield crispier foods.
• Press breading/coating onto food to help it stick. Refrigerate breaded foods for at
least 30 minutes before frying. This allows the coating to be slightly absorbed and
ensures the coating sticks to foods when cooking. We recommend NOT using the
rotating basket for breaded or coated foods.
• To improve crispiness in meat, coat the meat lightly with cornour or rice our and
spray with oil.
• Arrange breaded coated foods on grill racks so that food is not touching to allow
air ow on all surfaces.
• Spray oils work best with this air fryer oven. The spray distributes the oil more
evenly and less oil generally needed. However, canola, olive, avocado, coconut,
grape seed, peanut or vegetable oil work well too.
• When baking or using wetter foods it is best to use a baking tin or oven dish lined
with parchment paper.
• For best results with fresh chips use King Edward, Maris Piper, Romano, Désirée,
or Russet potatoes. Make sure they have been washed and dried. this will help
create a crispier chip.
Air Frying Pre-Packaged Frozen Foods
• Depending on the type and amount of food being cooked, suggested cook times
may dier. Always check food halfway through cooking time to determine the nal
cook time and temperature.
• Once the time is up, ensure the food is fully cooked.
