HINTS & TIPS
TIPS
•
Smaller cuts of foods usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger foods.
•
A larger amount of foods only requires a slightly longer cooking time and a smaller amount of
foods only requires a slightly shorter cooking time.
•
Stirring or shaking smaller foods mid-way through the cooking process will improve the end
result and can help cook more evenly.
•
Adding a small amount of oil to fresh potatoes can result in a crispier result. Cook your
ingredients in the air fryer within a few minutes after adding the oil.
•
Do not air fry extremely greasy foods such as sausages in the airfryer.
•
Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.
•
The optimum amount for air frying crispy fries is 17.5 ounces or a little over 1 lb.
•
Use pre-made dough to prepare foods with fillings quickly and easily. Pre-made dough also
requires a shorter cooking time than home-made dough.
•
The air fryer can also reheat foods. To reheat foods, set the temperature to 300°F for up to 10
minutes.
•
To cook frozen pre-cooked foods, add an additional 3-5 minutes to your cook time.
NOTE: Do not cook frozen, raw foods in the air fryer.
NOTE: When cooking/baking foods that rise (i.e. cakes, quiches or muffins) the Basket should
not be filled more than halfway.
NOTE: Add 3 minutes to the cooking time if you begin cooking while the air fryer is still cold.
BAKING CAKES/QUICHES OR STEAMING FOODS
•
Place a wire rack (not included) onto the bottom of the Drawer Pan (A) and place an oven-
safe dish onto the wire rack if you want to bake a cake/quiche, steam foods or if you want to
air fry delicate foods or foods with fillings.
•
For steaming foods, generally, 1-2 cups of water provides approximately 5-10 minutes of
steam time. Add water to the Drawer Pan (A). Place wire rack (not included) into the Drawer
Pan (A). Place food into an oven-safe dish (not included) and place dish onto the wire rack.
HOME-MADE FRENCH FRIES
When making your own french fries, follow these steps:
1.
Peel potatoes and slice them into strips.
2.
Wash and dry them thoroughly.
3.
Mix potato strips in a bowl with ½ tablespoon of olive oil, make sure they are evenly coated.
4.
Using your hands or tongs, place the potato strips onto the frying rack.
NOTE: Do not pour the potato sticks from the bowl onto the frying rack because we don't
want to transfer any excess oil into the drawer pan.
