cooking times than larger cuts.
• Flipping or turning foods halfway through
the cooking process ensures that all the pieces
are evenly fried.

suggested for a crispier result. Minimal oil
should be used, and the oil should be misted
immediately before cooking.
• Snacks normally cooked in an oven can also
be cooked in the PowerXL Turbo Air Fryer.
• Use premade dough to prepare filled snacks
quickly and easily. Premade dough also requires
a shorter cooking time than homemade dough.
• Place fragile or filled foods in a baking tin
or oven dish in the PowerXL Turbo Air Fryer.
A baking tin or oven dish is also suggested
when baking a cake or quiche.
• You can use the PowerXL Turbo Air Fryer to
reheat foods. Simply set the temperature and
time to however warm you want your food.
