Cooking Guide

Guide to oils and fats

Using your Digital Air Fryer to cook food will help you to reduce the amount of oil needed in some recipes, which may benefit your diet.
The table below lists some of the more widely available, popular oils. All of them can be used in your Digital Air Fryer. However, for best results, we recommend Vegetable or Rapeseed oil.

Guide to cooking popular foods in your air fryer

The following table provides basic cooking guidelines for popular foods that can be used for each Air fry Preset, Dehydrate, Bake, and Manual Mode. Please note that due to the variations in thickness and size of the foods being cooked some experimentation may be required for the best cooking results. Always ensure that the food is thoroughly cooked to food-safe temperature throughout before consuming.
When cooking fresh fries, keep oil quantities as low as possible for the healthiest results. However, if you feel the fries are a little pale and require further browning, increase the quantity of oil slightly.

Note: For crispier results it is recommended to shake the fryer basket 2-4 times throughout the cooking cycle.

For larger quantities, (1kg) increase cooking times and toss food more frequently.
