Sure-Crisp Air Frying Tips
®
From Our Test Kitchen
• Air frying cooks and browns evenly by circulating hot air, which
crisps food with little to no added oil.
• Sure-Crisp AIR FRY mode may require more cooking time than
®
standalone air fryers.
• Rack Position used to air fry depends on size of food to be cooked.
Use Rack Position 1 or 2 for most foods. Keep at least 1 inch
(2.5 cm) between food and upper heating elements.
• For best results when air frying, set temperature between
400°F-450°F (204°C-232°C). Preheat Oven for shorter cooking times/
improved crispness.
• Avoid opening Oven door while cooking frozen French fries or
chicken nuggets until cooking cycle is nearly done.
• Check food for desired doneness before end of cooking cycle. Add
or reduce cooking time as needed.
• Cut uniform-sized pieces and arrange foods in a single, even layer
in Air Fry Basket for even cooking results.
• A light spritz of cooking oil before cooking provides crispier texture.
• AIR FRY mode with foods that can drip: Place Baking Pan on
Oven Rack under Air Fry Basket when air frying foods that are
juicy or fatty.
• Delicate foods such as fish and hand-breaded items should be
cooked in a single, even layer.
• Most foods (larger/thicker) may need to be flipped, stirred, or
rotated during cooking.
• Breadcrumbs make crunchy air fried coatings. Avoid sauces or
batters.
• For easier cleanup, spray or wipe Air Fry Basket with cooking oil of
choice before adding food.
