Sure-Crisp ® Air Frying Tips From Our Test Kitchen
• Sure-Crisp ® AIR FRY mode may require more cooking time than standalone
air fryers.
• Always use Bake/Broil Pan on rack under Air Fry Basket to catch drips.
• Delicate foods such as fish and hand-breaded items should be cooked in a
single, even layer.
• Most foods (larger/thicker) may need to be flipped, stirred, or rotated
during cooking.
• Breadcrumbs make crunchy air fried coatings. Avoid sauces or batters.
• Rack position used to air fry depends on size of food to be cooked. Use upper
rack position for most foods. Keep at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) between food and
heating elements.
• Do not line Air Fry Basket; that blocks air flow. Do line Bake/Broil Pan under
Basket for easy cleanup.

• Cut uniform-sized pieces for even cooking results.
• Arrange foods in a single, even layer in Air Fry Basket.
• A light spritz of cooking oil before cooking provides crispier texture.
• Review food packaging-suggested cook times and adjust time for desired
crispness.
• Avoid opening Oven door while cooking frozen French fries or chicken
nuggets until cooking cycle is nearly done.
• Check food for desired doneness before end of cooking cycle. Add or reduce
cooking time as needed.
