5. HINTS & TIPS
Airfrying Tips:
• Airfrying is a healthly alternative to frying. Many foods that can be fried, can be airfried without
using excess amounts of oil. Airfried foods will taste lighter and less greasy, than deep-fried
foods.
• Most oils can be used for airfrying. Olive oil is preffered for a richer flavour. Vegetable, canola or
grapeseed oil is recommended for a mild flavour.
• Distribute oil evenly on food, to achieve the crispiest and most golden results. Oil can be sprayed
or brushed onto foods for airfrying. Alternatively, olive oil and non-stick cooking sprays can be
used.
• An assortment of coatings can be used on airfry foods. Some examples of different crumb
mixtures include: breadcrumbs, seasoned breadcrumbs, panko breadcrumbs, quinoa and
various flours.
• Most foods do not need to be flipped during cooking, but larger items, like chicken fillets, should
be flipped halfway during cooking to ensure quick, even cooking and browning.
• When airfrying large quantities of food, that crowd the pan, toss food halfway through cooking,
to ensure even cooking and colouring.
• Use higher temperatures for foods that cook quickly, like bacon and chips and use lower
temperatures for foods that take longer to cook, like breaded chicken.
• Foods will cook more evenly, if they are cut to the same size.
• Line the baking tray with aluminum foil, for easier cleaning.
• Please note that when most foods cook, they release water. When cooking large quantities for
an extended period of time, condensation may build up, which could leave moisture on your
countertop.
Baking Tips:
• Select bake for more deliciate items like custards, cakes and eggs.
• Most baked goods, as well as larger items like chicken, are cooked in rack position 1.
• Use the baking tray in rack position 1 for fresh pizza. For frozen pizza, place directly onto the oven
rack, in position 2, to cook.
Convection Baking Tips:
• Select bake for more deliciate items like custards, cakes and eggs.
• Most baked goods, as well as larger items like chicken, are cooked in rack position 1.
• Use the baking tray in rack position 1 for fresh pizza. For frozen pizza, place directly onto the oven
rack, in position 2, to cook.
Roasts & Pizzas Tips:
• Select roasts & pizzas for baked goods, which require even browning, such as scones and breads,
as well as for roasts and poultry. Roasts & pizzas is also perfect for baking evenly browned and
cripsy homemade pizzas.
• Most recipes recommend reducing heat or temperature by 3 - 4˚C, when convection baking.
• Always check to ensure food is cooked properly, at least 10 minutes before the end of the
suggested cooking time.
Grilling Tips:
• For best results, use the provided airfryer basket, fitted inside the baking Tray, to grill.
• Never use glass oven dishes to grill.
• Be sure to keep an eye on food – items can burn easily, when grilling.
