Cooking Tips
- Preheating the air fryer is an important step. Wait for the display to read
- Add Food before inserting food into the cooking chamber.
- When baking cakes, pies, quiches and other similar foods, use an oven-safe baking dish covered with foil or an oven-safe lid to prevent the top of foods from overcooking.
- When cooking coated food, use an egg wash with breadcrumbs rather than liquid-based batters to ensure that batter sticks to the food.
- Spray food items with cooking oil before seasoning to ensure the seasoning sticks.
- Soak fresh potato sticks in iced water for 15 minutes, then pat dry and spray lightly with cooking oil before placing in the oven.
- Pat dry moist food items before cooking to prevent excess steam and splatter.
- Air frying can cause oil and fat to drip from foods. To prevent excess smoke, carefully remove and drain the air fryer basket.
