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/74° C for all
poultry; 160° F/71° C for ground beef,
lamb, and pork; and 145° F/63° C,
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.
•
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.
Air frying/baking tip: 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 potatoes.
Air frying/baking tip: 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.
