COOKING TIPS
•
Almost any food that is traditionally cooked in the oven can be air fried.
•
Foods cook best and most evenly when they are of similar size and thickness.
•
Smaller pieces of food require less cooking time than larger pieces.
•
For best results in the shortest amount of time, air fry food in small batches. Avoid
stacking or layering when possible.
•
Most prepackaged foods do not need to be tossed in oil before air frying. Most already
contain oil and other ingredients that enhance browning and crispiness.
•
Frozen appetizers and hors d'oeuvres air fry very well. For best results, arrange them on
the tray in a single layer.
•
If layering foods, be sure to shake the basket halfway through (or flip food) to promote
even cooking.
•
Toss foods you are preparing from scratch, such as French fries or other vegetables, with
a small amount of oil to promote browning and crispiness.
•
When air frying fresh vegetables, make sure to pat them dry completely before tossing
with oil and air frying to ensure maximum crispiness.
•
When air frying battered food, stick to thick, pasty batters. Thin batters, such as the
batters used to make tempura, will run and not set fast enough like they do in a deep fryer.
•
Coating battered foods in panko (Japanese-style breadcrumbs) or puffed rice, and then
spraying them with oil, helps create crispy, healthier versions of your favorite fried foods.
•
Air fryers are great for reheating food, including pizza. To reheat your food, set the
temperature to 150°C for up to 10 minutes.
