Air Fry For Best Results; A Note On Air Frying Pre-Packaged Frozen Foods - Bella PRO Series Instruction Manual

Air Fry For Best Results

1. Please consult the Air Fry Chart and/or follow package instructions for suggested convection
cook TEMPERATURE and time
NOTE: As a general rule, when air convection frying, reduce the package's suggested
conventional COOK time by 20% to 30% depending on the food and amount to be cooked.
NOTE: The quantity, density, weight of food will alter the total air frying TIME necessary.
Remember, cooking smaller batches will result in shorter cook TIMES and more even
food quality.
2. When convection baking, the shelf position used will depend on the size of the food being
prepared. It is important to place your food as close to the center of the Air Fryer Oven as
possible to ensure even cooking. For best cooking results, it is recommended to use the
middle level for cooking foods when 1 layer is being used.
3. Always pat food dry before cooking to encourage browning and avoid excess smoke. When
cooking naturally high fat foods, such as chicken wings or sausages, it may be necessary to
empty fat from the drip pan between batches.
4. For crispier results, air fry small batches of freshly breaded foods. Create more surface area
by cutting food into smaller pieces. Press breading onto food to help it adhere. Refrigerate
breaded foods for at least 30 minutes. Spray with oil before air frying.
5. Arrange breaded food on the crisping rack(s) so that food is not touching to allow air flow on
all surfaces.
6. Do not overfill crisping racks with food.
7. Spray olive oil or vegetable oil works best as oil is distributed evenly and less oil is needed.
8. To assure even cooking/browning, ALWAYS open the Oven door halfway through the cook
TIME and check, turn or rotate the food and crisping racks from top to bottom. Check food
and adjust TIME or TEMPERATURE if needed.
9. If additional air frying is needed, adjust TEMPERATURE if desired, and set TIME for 2 to 5
minute intervals until fully cooked.
10.
WARNING: Extreme caution must be used when handling the hot crisping racks and
drip pan. Always use oven mitts or long-handled utensils to grasp the front grips.
Avoid escaping steam hot food.
