• Food such as chips, which lay on top of
each other in the basket, have to be shaken
halfway through cooking, so that they are
spread out differently.
• Did you use the right kind of potatoes?
They must be a waxy potato variety.
• Did you wash the potatoes properly?
Too much starch prevents them from
cooking evenly.
• Were the snacks also suitable for cooking in
an oven? Snacks which are specially designed
to be deep-fried will not get crispy in the hot
air fryer.
• If necessary, put a small amount of oil onto
the food before you place it in the basket.
There should be as little oil dripping into
the pan as possible.
• Fresh chips must be thoroughly dried
before you toss them in oil.
• Cut the chips more thinly if necessary.
• Oil or fat has dripped into the pan. This may
make the pan hotter. However, this is harm-
less and does not affect the cooking result.
• Use ingredients which have as little fat as
possible. Only use a very small amount of
oil for chips, etc.
• Marinade or meat juices can drip into oil or
fat that has already leaked into the pan.
If necessary, dab the food dry a little before
putting it into the basket. If the food is coated
with breadcrumbs, compact the breadcrumbs
a little.
• Clean the pan thoroughly after every use
to remove any fat or oil residue.
