PREPARATION TIPS
The smaller ingredients require a shorter cooking time compared to the bigger ingredients. A larger amount of ingredients requires a slightly longer preparation time while a smaller amount requires a slightly shorter time. Stirring the smaller ingredients while cooking optimizes the final result and helps to cook the ingre- dients evenly. For a crispier result, add a tablespoon of oil to fresh or frozen potatoes and use t stick plates (C). You can cook in the airy fryer also the snacks that normally you bake. The optimal amount to make crispy fries is about 1.2-1.7 kg.
