Tips
COOKING TIPS
•
Almost any food you cook in the oven, can be air fried.
•
Avoid cooking very greasy foods that splatter, such as sausage, on high temperatures
in the Air Fryer. A temperature of 350°F is recommended.
•
Foods cook best and most evenly when they are of similar size and thickness.
•
Smaller pieces of food require less cooking time than larger items and may be
cooked at higher temperatures than larger pieces because they generally require less
time to cook.
•
For best results in the shortest amount of time, air fry food in small batches. Avoid
stacking or layering food when possible.
•
Most prepared foods do not need to be tossed in oil before air frying. Most already
contain oil and other ingredients that enhance browning and crispiness.
•
Frozen appetizers and hors d'oeuvres air fry very well. For best results, arrange them
on the Air Fryer's tray in a single layer.
•
If layering foods, be sure to shake the Air Fryer Basket halfway through to promote
even cooking.
•
Toss foods you are preparing from scratch, such as French fries, with oil, in a separate
bowl, to improve browning and crispiness. Fresh foods do not contain the same oils,
fats and other ingredients that prepared foods contain which promote browning and
crispiness.
•
When making French fries using fresh potatoes, ensure they are completely dry
before cooking in the Air Fryer. Even the smallest droplets of moisture will prevent
them from getting crispy.
•
When air frying battered food, stick to thick, pasty batters. Thin batters, such as the
batters used to make tempura, will run and not set fast enough like they do in a deep
fryer.
•
Coating battered foods in panko (Japanese-style breadcrumbs) or puffed rice, and
then spraying them with oil, help create crispy, healthier versions of your favorite fried
foods.
•
Air fryers are great for reheating food. To reheat your food, set the temperature
to 300°F for up to 10 minutes. Use a thermometer to ensure it reaches food-safe
temperatures.
