Cooking Tips

Instant air fryer ovens cook all your favorite fresh and frozen oven-baked and
deep-fried snacks—fast!
• Use the preset Smart Programs as a starting point, and experiment with
cooking times and temperatures to get the results you prefer.
• Rotisserie-cooked foods and rotisserie accessories must be placed in the oven
before touching Start.
• With the exception of rotisserie-cooked foods, most foods benefit greatly from
a preheated oven. Wait for the display to read Add Food before inserting food
into the cooking chamber.
• When cooking coated food items, choose breadcrumb batters over liquid-
based batters to ensure that the batter sticks to the food.
• For crispy, golden fries, soak fresh potato sticks in ice water for 15 minutes,
then pat dry and spray with cooking oil before adding them to the air fryer
oven.
• When baking cakes, pies, quiches, or any food with filling or batter, use an
oven-safe baking dish and cover food with foil or an oven-safe lid to prevent
the top from overcooking.
• The drip pan doubles as a flat cooking tray. Use the drip pan when cooking
fragile or filled food.
• When cooking pizza, insert both cooking trays into the oven and place the
pizza on the bottom cooking tray.
• Pat moist food items dry before cooking to prevent smoke, splatter and excess
steam.
• Air frying can cause oil and fat to drip from foods. To prevent excess smoke,
carefully remove and empty the drip pan periodically throughout cooking.
• To ensure seasoning adheres properly, spray food items with cooking oil
before adding seasoning.
• All oven-safe cookware is safe to use in the air fryer oven.
