Cooking Guidelines & Tips
Internal
Temperature
Meat Chart
Use this chart and a food thermometer
to ensure that meat, poultry, seafood,
and other cooked foods reach a safe
minimum internal temperature.
*For maximum food safety, the
U.S. Department of Agriculture
recommends 165° F for all poultry;
160° F for ground beef, lamb, and
pork; and 145° F, with a 3-minute
resting period, for all other types
of beef, lamb, and pork. Also review
the USDA Food Safety Standards.
Tips
• Foods that are smaller in size usually require
a slightly shorter cooking time than larger ones.
•
Large sizes or quantities of food may require a
longer cooking time than smaller sizes or quantities.
•
Flipping or turning food halfway through the
cooking process ensures that the food is
evenly cooked.
•
Adding a bit of vegetable oil to fresh potatoes
is suggested for a crispier result. When adding oil,
do so just before cooking and add only a small
amount onto the potato.

Snacks normally cooked in an oven can also
be cooked in the appliance.
Use premade dough to prepare filled snacks
quickly and easily. Premade dough also requires
a shorter cooking time than homemade dough.
A baking tin or oven dish can be placed on
the Air Fry Rack inside the appliance when cooking
foods such as cakes or quiches. Using a tin or dish
is also recommended when cooking fragile or filled
foods.
