HINTS & TIPS
• Smaller cuts of food usually require a slightly
shorter cooking time than larger foods.
• A larger amount of food only requires a slightly longer
cooking time and a smaller amount of food only requires
a slightly shorter cooking time.
• Stirring or shaking smaller foods mid-way through the
cooking process will improve the end result and can
help cook more evenly.
• Adding a small amount of oil to fresh potatoes can
result in a crispier result. Cook your ingredients in the
air fryer within a few minutes after adding the oil.
• Do not air fry extremely greasy foods such as
sausages in the air fryer.
• Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also
be prepared in the air fryer.
• The air fryer can also reheat foods. To reheat foods, set
the temperature to 300°F for up to 10 minutes.
• To cook frozen foods, add an additional 3-5 minutes
to your cook time.
HOMEMADE FRENCH FRIES:
• The optimum amount for air frying crispy fries is 17.5oz.
or a little over 1 lb.
• When making your own French fries, follow these steps:
1. Peel potatoes and slice them into strips.
2. Wash and dry them thoroughly.
3. Mix potato strips in a bowl with ½ tablespoon of
olive oil, make sure they are evenly coated.
4. Using your hands or tongs, place the potato strips
onto the frying rack.
NOTE:
-Add 3 minutes to
the cooking time if
you begin cooking
while the air fryer is
still cold.
- Do not cook
frozen, raw foods
in the air fryer.
