TIPS AND HINTS

AIRFRY
TIP: For best results, use the provided AirFryer Basket fitted into the Baking/Drip
Pan .
AirFry can be used at 200°F – 450°F for up to 1 hour . This function is used to
AirFry meals as a healthy alternative to deep frying in oil . A high fan speed and
multiple heating elements circulate hot air to prepare a variety of meals that can
be both delicious and healthier than traditional frying .
• Default: 400°F; 10 minutes.
• Many foods that can be fried can be AirFried without using excess amounts of
oil . AirFried foods will taste lighter and be less greasy than deep-fried foods .
• AirFrying doesn't require oil, but a light spray can enhance browning and
crispiness . Use an oil sprayer or a nonstick olive oil cooking spray to keep it
extra light, a pastry brush to evenly coat, or pour a little oil into a bowl, add
food, and toss .
• Most oils can be used for AirFrying . Olive oil is preferred for a richer flavor .
Vegetable, canola or grapeseed oils are recommended for milder flavors .

• An assortment of coatings can be used on AirFried foods .

chips, and graham crackers . Various flours, including gluten-free, and other
(frozen;
dry foods like cornmeal work as well .

• Most foods do not need to be flipped during cooking, but larger items, like
rack)
chicken cutlets, should be turned halfway through the cooking cycle to ensure
X
evenly cooked and browned results .
• When AirFrying large quantities of food that fill the pan, toss food halfway
through the cooking cycle to ensure evenly cooked results and color .
X
• Use higher temperatures for foods that cook quickly, like bacon and chips, and
X
lower temperatures for foods that take longer to cook, like breaded chicken .

X
large quantities for an extended period of time, condensation may build up,
which could leave moisture on your countertop .
