Sure-Crisp Tips from the Test Kitchen:
®
• Use AIR FRY mode to crisp foods using little added oil.
• Air frying cooks and browns evenly by circulating forced hot air
which crisps food with little to no added oil.
• Check food for doneness before recommended packaging cook
time.
• Rack position used to air fry depends on the size of the food to be
cooked. Keep at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) between food and heating
elements. Use middle rack position and place larger food in bottom
rack position.
• Preheat the Oven for shorter cook times/improved crispness.
• Arrange foods in a single, even layer in Air Fry Basket.
• Avoid overfilling Basket so air flows around food to improve
crispness.
• Cut uniform-sized pieces for even cooking results.
• Avoid opening the Oven door while cooking frozen French fries or
chicken nuggets until the cooking cycle is nearly done.
• Larger/thicker foods may need to be flipped or rotated during
cooking.
• A light spritz of cooking oil before cooking provides crispier texture.
• Breadcrumbs make crunchy air fried coatings. Avoid sauces or
batters.
• Always use the Baking Pan on the rack under the Air Fry Basket to
catch drips.
• Do not line the Air Fry Basket; that blocks air flow. Do line the
Baking Pan under the Basket for easy cleanup.
