Tips

• Foods that are smaller in size usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger ones.
• Large quantities of food only require a slightly longer cooking time than smaller quantities.
• Flipping or turning smaller-sized foods halfway through the cooking process ensures that all the pieces are evenly fried.
• Misting a bit of vegetable oil on fresh potatoes is suggested for a crispier result. When adding a little oil, do so just before cooking.
• Snacks normally cooked in an oven can also be cooked in the 12L air fry Oven.
• Use the pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. The pre-made dough also requires a shorter cooking time than homemade dough..
• Place a baking tin or oven dish in the 12L air fry Oven when baking a cake or quiche. A tin or dish is also suggested when cooking fragile or filled foods.
