Tips and Cooking Chart
For a crisp exterior, oil foods lightly. Some foods, especially if fresh, benefit
from being tossed with a little oil in a separate bowl before air frying. However,
high-fat foods, like a well-marbled steak, or prepared foods usually require no
additional oil.
Avoid wet batters. Loose batters, such as tempura or beer batter, should not be
used in the air fryer, as the batter does not set quickly and will drip off the food.
Instead, stick to thick, pasty batters or breaded foods like chicken nuggets.
Don't overcrowd the basket. Too much food, especially if tightly packed, can
inhibit browning and crisping. A better bet is to fry food in batches.
Shake the basket mid-cycle for even cooking. A good shake is especially
beneficial for smaller foods like french fries, onion rings, and chicken wings. For
larger or more fragile foods, consider gently tossing or flipping for even results.
Check on foods early. Check foods on the earlier side of the cooking time to
avoid overcooking. You can always slide the basket back in to continue cooking.
Follow food-safety guidelines for doneness. Because air fryer temperatures and
food sizes can vary, do not rely exclusively on recipe timing when cooking food.
Check foods for doneness against current safety guidelines before serving.
