Cooking Guidelines & Tips
Shaking/Flipping (for Air Frying)
To ensure even cooking, some foods require
shaking/flipping during the cooking process. Gently
shake/flip the contents as needed and place them back
in the appliance to continue cooking.
Tips
•
When grilling meats, use the Grill Plate in the raised
position (see "Getting Started" in the "Instructions for
Use" section).
•
Flip steaks or filets halfway through the cooking cycle
to cook evenly.
• Foods that are smaller in size usually require a
slightly shorter cooking time than larger foods.
• Large quantities of food require a longer cooking
time than smaller quantities. Be careful not to
overcrowd the Inner Pot.
• When air frying breaded items, lightly spray with
cooking oil to get a crispy, golden-brown crust.
• Snacks normally cooked in an oven, including frozen
snacks, 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.
•
You can use the appliance to reheat foods. Simply
set the temperature and time to however warm you
want your food or use the Reheat mode.

CAUTION: The appliance and Inner Pot will be hot.
Wear an oven mitt during this procedure:
1. Open the Lid.
2. Flip the food in the Inner Pot.
3. Close the Lid on the appliance and continue cooking.
•
Be careful not to transfer germs from raw meat to
cooked meat. Use separate utensils and platters for
raw and cooked meat.
•
When marinating food, always use a tightly covered
nonmetal dish and turn the food occasionally. Be
sure to refrigerate all meats while marinating.
• If leftover wet marinade is to be used as a sauce with
the cooked food, be sure to place it in a small pan
and heat to a rolling boil before serving to eliminate
bacterial growth.
•
To prevent scratching the coating, use only
nonmetallic utensils. Do not cut food on the Grill
Plate using sharp utensils, such as forks or knives,
that can scratch the cooking surface.
• Do not use steel wool or other metal pads.
They could leave coarse scratches. Always rinse
thoroughly and dry immediately with a soft towel.
• If food is cooking unevenly, make sure to spread out
the food evenly on the grill plate.
