Cooking Tips
17User Manual | All-In-One Air Fryer | GAF1290
• Check food for desired doneness a few minutes before cook time
elapses and cook a little longer if necessary
• Always ensure raw proteins reach food-safe temperature
• Air fryers perform similar to ovens; follow oven instructions on item
packaging or recipe
• Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the air
fryer
• Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter cook time than
larger ingredients
• Preheating the air fryer before adding food will generally deliver the best
results (see Preheat on bottom of page 8)
• When cooking multiple batches in a row, only preheat before the first
batch
• Turning food halfway through cook time will deliver evenly browned and
crispy results (see Turn Reminder on bottom of page 8)
• Toss fresh potatoes with 1 tablespoon of oil for a crispy exterior Air fry
the ingredients within a few minutes after adding the oil
• Do not cook foods that will produce a large amount of grease in the air
fryer
• Place a baking pan or an oven-safe dish or pan in the basket to bake a
cake or quiche or to air fry fragile or filled ingredients
Cooking Tips
For an extensive list of foods and their ideal amounts, temperature and time
settings, along with preparation notes, see the Air Fry Cooking Chart and
