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 Dehydrate Chart on pages 64 through 67 of the Gourmia Recipe Book
• 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 or tossing 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

Some foods especially
smaller items need to be
tossed or flipped halfway
through the cook time.
Toss or flip food halfway through the cook
time. (See TURN REMINDER on page 13)
Food is not
crispy enough
The air fryer basket was
overfilled. Many foods
need oil to brown and
crisp properly.
Cook in smaller batches, keep food in a single
layer. Coat food with a small amount of oil.
White smoke
comes out of the
air fryer
You are preparing greasy
ingredients.
When you fry greasy ingredients in the air
fryer, a large amount of oil will leak into the
basket. The oil produces white smoke and
the basket may heat up more than usual. This
does not aect the air fryer or the end result.
The basket still contains
grease residue from
previous use.
White smoke is caused by grease heating up
in the basket. Make sure you clean the basket
properly after each use.
