20. Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea can be overheated beyond the
boiling point without appearing to be boiling. This is called delayed eruptive
boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the
microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS
SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A UTENSIL IS INSERTED
INTO THE LIQUID.
21. To reduce the risk of injury to persons: a. Do not use straight-sided
containers with narrow necks. Use wide-mouth containers. b. Stir liquid both
before and halfway through heating it. c. Do not overheat liquid. d. Use
extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container. This
may also cause delayed eruptive boiling. e. After heating, allow the container
to stand in the microwave oven for at least 20 seconds before removing the
container.
22. Do not operate your appliance in an appliance garage or under a wall
cabinet. When storing in an appliance garage, always unplug the unit from the
electrical outlet. Not doing so could create a risk of fire, especially if the
appliance touches the walls of the garage or the door touches the unit as it
closes.
23. The oven must be placed on a level surface. 24. The glass tray and
turntable assembly must be in the oven during
cooking. Handle the glass turntable carefully and place cookware on it gently
to avoid possible breakage. 25. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or
knobs. 26. Incorrect use of a browning dish may cause the turntable to break.
See information about cookware you can use, page 9. 27. Use only the correctly
specified bag size when using the preset popcorn program. 28. The oven has
several built-in safety switches to ensure that the power remains off when the
door is open. Do not tamper with these switches. 29. Do not operate the
microwave oven when empty. Operating the oven with no food or food that is
extremely low in moisture can cause fire, charring, or sparking. 30. Do not
cook bacon directly on the turntable. Excessive local heating of the turntable
may cause the turntable to break. 31. Do not preheat empty oven with glass
turntable in place.
32. Do not heat baby bottles or baby food in the microwave oven. Uneven
heating/hotspots may occur and cause injury.
33. Do not heat narrow-necked containers, such as syrup bottles. 34. Do not
attempt to deep-fry in your microwave oven. 35. Do not attempt home canning in
this microwave oven, as it is impossible
to be sure all contents of the jar have reached boiling temperature. 36. Do
not use this microwave oven for commercial purposes.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Make sure it is plugged into a functional outlet.
Operation
Why won’t my unit turn on?
Make sure the oven door is closed.
Call Consumer Service at 1-800-726-0190.
Can I change my function while cooking?
First interrupt current function by pressing Stop/Clear twice. Then reprogram the oven to desired function.
Programming
Can I change time while cooking?
Can I change power level or temperature when the unit is already cooking?
Yes. Simply turn the selector dial during cooking to change time.
You need to first interrupt the current cooking function by pressing
Stop/Clear twice. Then reprogram the oven to your desired temperature or power
level.
If you used non-microwave safe materials, make sure to use microwave-safe cookware only.
Microwave Cooking
Why is my food not cooked evenly, undercooked, or not fully defrosted?
Why is my food overcooked?
Food might not be fully defrosted; add additional time using the defrost function. You may need more time or power; make sure you adjust cooking time and power level accordingly. Try turning or stirring food for more even cooking. Food might have been positioned in the center of the turntable; try positioning food off-center for more even cooking. Cooking time or power level might have been incorrect; try adjusting these accordingly.
Make sure to use microwave-safe cookware only. Do not use AirFry accessories in microwave mode.
Why is there arcing or sparking?
If the oven was operated empty, make sure to put food inside the unit before operating. There might have been spilled food remains in the cavity; make sure to clean the cavity with a wet towel.
Why is my food undercooked?
There may be too much food in the basket. Try smaller batches of food and
single layers, rather than stacking food on top of each other.
The temperature might be too low; try adjusting to a higher temperature.
Oven/AirFry Cooking
Why is my food not crispy or fried evenly?
Some foods may require more oil than others. If not crispy enough, spray, brush, or add some oil on the food. Make sure food is spread evenly in one single layer with no overlap. If needed, toss or flip food halfway through cycle. Put the food in for additional cooking time. Make sure to check periodically until food reaches desired brownness. Do not leave oven unattended.
Why do condensation and steam come out of my unit?
With greasy foods, oil may leak into pan, producing steam. This will not affect results, but may fog up the viewing window. Foods with high moisture content can cause condensation. This will not affect results, but may fog up the viewing window. The pan or basket may contain grease residue from previous use. Make sure to clean the accessories properly after each use.
Cleaning
Are the parts dishwasher safe?
Do not put the accessories in the dishwasher; instead, hand-wash with warm, sudsy water.
How do I clean tough residue from accessories? To remove baked-on grease, soak the accessories in hot, sudsy water or use a nonabrasive cleanser.
18
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Unplug the cord and allow the oven to cool before cleaning any part of this

Blooming Onion with Chipotle Mayo
This popular restaurant appetizer is easy and fun to make at home.
Function: Oven/AirFry Makes 1 blooming onion (2 to 3 servings)
½
cup mayonnaise
1
chipotle chile in adobo, finely chopped
¼
teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Nonstick cooking spray
½
cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1
large egg, lightly beaten
2
tablespoons buttermilk
½
cup panko breadcrumbs
½
teaspoon garlic powder
¼
teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
Pinch cayenne pepper
1
large sweet onion, peeled
Olive oil, for spraying
1. Make the Chipotle Mayo: Put the mayonnaise, chipotle, and lemon juice in
the work bowl of a mini food processor. Process on High until completely
puréed and homogenous. Transfer to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate
until ready to serve.
2. Make the Blooming Onion: Place the AirFry Basket onto the Oven/ AirFry
Pan. Coat the basket with nonstick cooking spray. Reserve.
3. Put the flour into a bowl large enough to dip the onion. Whisk the egg and
buttermilk together in a similar-size bowl, and the breadcrumbs and seasonings
in a third similar-size bowl. Reserve.
4. Trim the top of the onion to create a flat surface. Leave the root end
intact. Turn the onion over so that the root end faces up, and rest it on its
flat surface.
5. Without piercing the root, cut the onion into 4 wedges. Also without
piercing the root, cut each wedge in half; repeat until wedges are about ¼
inch thick.
6. Turn the cut onion over and carefully, without breaking the pieces off the
root, separate the layers; the separated onion will resemble a flower with
petals.
7. Dredge the onion in the flour, and gently shake off the excess before
dipping into the egg mixture. Finally, coat each layer evenly with the panko
mixture. Evenly spray the coated onion with olive oil and place in the
prepared basket.
8. Place in the Cuisinart® Microwave AirFryer Plus. Select Oven/AirFry, set
the temperature to 400°F and time for 10 minutes, and press Start. The onion
is done when it is crispy and golden brown.

Quick Marinara Sauce
This marinara sauce is ready in just 15 minutes. While we love the flavor of fresh herbs, dried herbs make this a quick pantry recipe.
Function: Microwave Makes about 1 2/3 cups
1
28-ounce can plum tomatoes, drained
2
tablespoons olive oil
½
teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
1
garlic clove, smashed and peeled
Pinch crushed red pepper
1
sprig fresh basil (or substitute ½ teaspoon dried)
1
sprig fresh oregano (or substitute ¼ teaspoon dried)
Pinch granulated sugar
1. Put all the ingredients into a microwave-safe bowl, and cover the bowl.
Place in the Cuisinart® 3-in-1 Microwave AirFryer Plus. Select Microwave, and
set the time for 15 minutes and power level to High (10P). Press Start. Stir
and check firmness of tomatoes. If not falling apart, cover again and
microwave for an additional 5 minutes.
2. Remove the herb sprigs, if using fresh, and the garlic clove. Allow to
cool slightly and blend to desired consistency. (This is best blended with a
stick blender–that way, it can be blended while still quite
warm. If using a countertop blender, let the sauce cool a bit, and be sure to
vent the blender lid to release any pressure.)

Sweet and Russet Potato Chips
You will be amazed how delicious, crispy, and easy microwave chips are!
Function: Microwave Makes about 5 cups (2 cups sweet + 3 cups russet)
1
russet potato (about 6 ounces)
1
sweet potato (about 8 ounces)
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
1. Prepare the russet potato. Have a large, shallow bowl of ice water ready.
Slice the potato to a 1.5mm/1/8-inch thickness (a mandoline is your best
friend for this task) and then immediately put the slices into the ice water.
Stir a bit and allow to soak for 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and then rinse with
cold water until the water running through the potatoes is clear (not cloudy).
This process removes excess starch from the potato slices to achieve a crisper
chip. Transfer the rinsed slices to a tray lined with a clean dish towel or
paper towels. Top with another towel/paper towels and dry well.
2. Line a large microwave-safe plate with two layers of paper towels. Arrange
the potato slices on top of the paper towel-lined plate, being sure that the
slices do not overlap. Brush or spray the tops of the potato slices with oil,
and then sprinkle with a pinch of kosher salt.
3. Place the plate in the Cuisinart® 3-in-1 Microwave AirFryer Plus. Select
Microwave, and set the time for 4 minutes and power level to High (10P). Press
Start. Flip all slices and then return to the oven and microwave on High for 2
additional minutes. Remove and repeat with any remaining russet slices.
4. While the russets are cooking, prepare the sweet potato. Scrub and thinly
slice the sweet potato in the same manner (preferably with a
28
mandoline to a 1.5mm/1/8-inch thickness). Arrange the sweet potato slices, in
a single layer on a plate with fresh paper towels. Brush or spray with olive
oil and then sprinkle with kosher salt. Select Microwave. Set the time for 4
minutes and the power level to High (10P). Flip the slices and then return to
the oven to Microwave for an additional 2 minutes. Repeat with any remaining
slices.
5. Serve with another sprinkle of salt, if desired, or with the Zesty Onion
Dip (recipe follows).

Select Microwave, and set the time for 10 minutes and the power level to High (10P). Press Start. Stir well. The onions should be very soft and a light caramel
color. If they are not, cover again and microwave for an additional 5 minutes
on High.
2. Add the mayonnaise, parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and the
additional pinch of pepper, and stir well to combine. Fold in the sour cream

in a shallow microwave-safe dish. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy
sauce, ginger, garlic, honey, Dijon, olive oil,
33
and black pepper. Pour over the salmon. Allow to marinate while preparing the
farro.
2. Put the 1-¾ cups water and farro in a microwave-safe dish, and cover.
Place in the Cuisinart® 3-in-1 Microwave AirFryer Plus. Select Stage Cooking.
For Stage 1 (SC-1): Select Microwave, and set the time for 10 minutes and
power level to High (10P). Select Stage Cooking again. For Stage 2 (SC-2):
Select Microwave again, and set the time for 10 minutes and power level to
Medium (4P); press Start.
3. Allow to rest in the oven for 5 minutes before removing. After resting,
remove and fluff the farro with a fork, cover again, and keep warm while
preparing the other ingredients. (If serving at later time, cool completely,
and then store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.)
4. Remove the salmon from the marinade, reserving the marinade, and put into
a small microwave-safe dish. Cover with a vented lid (if using plastic wrap,
prick the plastic with the tip of a knife in a few different areas), and place
in the Microwave AirFryer. Select Microwave, and set the time for 6 minutes
and power level to High (10P). When finished cooking, remove and reserve.
5. Put the marinade in the Microwave AirFryer. Select Microwave, and set the
time for 1 minute and power level to High (10P). Press Start. Remove and
reserve.
6. Cook the chard. Chop the stems into ½-inch pieces and then roughly chop
the leaves. Put the chard, garlic, salt, and the 1 tablespoon water in a
microwave-safe container, and cover. Select Microwave, and set the time for 3
minutes and power level to High (10P). Press Start. Remove and reserve.
7. Put the pistachios and sesame seeds in a microwave-safe dish. Select
Microwave, and set the time for 6 minutes and power level to High (10P). Press
Start. Remove and reserve.
8. Put the shallots and oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Be sure that the
shallots are fully covered by the oil. Start with 1/3 cup, but use no more
than ½ cup. Select Microwave, and set the time for 5 minutes and power level
to High (10P).
9. Stir and then continue to microwave, on High (10P), for 30-second
increments. It is important to keep the cycles short to prevent burning the
shallots cooking in 30-second bursts allow you to keep an eye on the color.
Once golden, carefully pour through a
fine-mesh strainer, and transfer to a paper-towel lined plate. Blot well with
additional paper towels. Immediately after blotting, season generously with
the salt.
10. To serve, divide the farro among individual bowls and then top with the
salmon, greens, and all the crispy toppings. Drizzle the reserved marinade
over top and serve.

1
garlic clove
½
cup dried chickpeas, soaked overnight, drained, and rinsed
1/3
cup packed fresh Italian parsley (stems and leaves)
1
tablespoon unbleached all-purpose flour
¾
teaspoon kosher salt
1/8
teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¾
teaspoon ground cumin
¼
teaspoon ground coriander
1/8
teaspoon chili powder

teaspoon kosher salt
1/8
teaspoon ground cumin
35
2
tablespoons tahini
1
tablespoon fresh lemon juice
¼
cup extra-virgin olive oil
Nonstick cooking spray
Olive oil for spraying
For sandwiches:
Pita with pockets, halved and warmed Thinly sliced red cabbage and red onion Chopped cucumber, tomatoes, and pickles (optional) Tahini, for drizzling Fresh parsley leaves, chopped
1. Prepare the falafel: Dissolve the baking soda in the tablespoon of water.
Insert the chopping blade into the work bowl of a food processor. Add the
shallot and garlic, and pulse to chop, about 5 times. Add the chickpeas,
parsley, flour, salt, pepper, and spices. Pulse 6 to 8 times to coarsely grind
the chickpeas. Scrape down the work bowl, then pulse a few more times. Reserve
1/3 cup of the mixture in a mixing bowl. With the processor running, pour the
dissolved baking soda through the feed tube to incorporate.
2. Combine with the reserved 1/3 cup mixture in the mixing bowl and stir
together. Using a tablespoon measure, scoop the chickpea mixture into 12 even
portions and shape each into a ball. Place the balls on a tray or plate lined
with waxed paper, and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, make the baba ganoush: Prick the eggplants in a few places with
the tines of a fork or a toothpick, put onto a microwavesafe dish, and place
in the Cuisinart® 3-in-1 Microwave AirFryer Plus. Select Microwave, and set
the time for 12 minutes and power level to High (10P); press Start. Eggplants
will be soft. Let cool slightly.
4. When the eggplants are cool enough to handle, cut in half lengthwise and
scoop out the flesh, discarding the skin. Put the eggplant flesh into a large
bowl, and mash well with a fork. Stir in the garlic, salt, and cumin. Stir in
the tahini and lemon juice, and then the olive oil. Finally, stir in the
parsley. Season to taste. Allow the baba ganoush to cool to room temperature
and reserve.
5. Finish the falafel: Place the AirFry Basket onto the Oven/AirFry Pan. Coat
the basket with nonstick cooking spray. Transfer the chilled falafel to the
basket in a single layer. Spray evenly with olive oil. Place in the Microwave
AirFryer. Select Oven/AirFry, and set the temperature to 350°F and the time
for 10 minutes. Press Start. Falafels are done when evenly golden brown and
crisp.

tablespoons of baba ganoush and two falafels. Top with cabbage, red onions,
cucumbers, tomatoes, and pickles. Drizzle with tahini and sprinkle with
chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.

Rosemary Focaccia with Roasted Grapes
Focaccia in the microwave? All of the steps of this process are prepared in
the microwave, including proofing the dough and AirFrying the grapes
to a create a juicy roasted state of flavor.
Function: Oven/AirFry Makes 1 focaccia, 16 servings
1/3
cup warm (105° to 110°F) water
2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
¼
teaspoon granulated sugar
2
tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the pan
4
cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1
teaspoon fine sea salt
39
1½ cups red grapes
Olive oil
1
tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1
tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
½
teaspoon kosher salt
1. Prepare the focaccia dough. Put the water, yeast, and sugar into the bowl
of a stand mixer, and stir to combine. Let stand until the mixture is foamy
and bubbly, 5 to 10 minutes. While the yeast is proofing, combine the bread
flour and salt in a separate mixing bowl, and attach the dough hook to the
mixer. Once the yeast is foamy, add the flour mixture and olive oil to the
bowl. Turn the mixer to medium-low speed (Speed 3), and mix until the dough
comes together as a ball and cleans the side of the bowl. Once dough ball
forms, continue to knead on the same speed (Speed 3) for about 4 minutes. The
dough should be smooth and spring back to the touch. If sticky, add 1
tablespoon of flour at a time until smooth. Alternatively, if the dough seems
too dry, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time. Form into a smooth bowl and
transfer to a clean bowl, large enough for it to rise to twice its size.
2. Put a mug or small bowl of water in the oven. Microwave on High (10P) for
5 minutes. Remove the mug/bowl of water and then place the bowl of dough into
the oven (not covered). Close the door of the oven and allow to rest for 30
minutes. At this point the dough should be about doubled in size and should
spring back to the gentle touch of a floured finger. Remove from oven and then
cover while cooking the grapes.
3. Prepare the grapes. Put the AirFry Basket onto the Oven/AirFry Pan. Put
the grapes into the AirFry Basket. Lightly spray the grapes with olive oil and
then sprinkle with salt. Place in the Cuisinart® 3-in-1 Microwave AirFryer
Plus in the upper rack position. Select Oven/Air Fry, and set the temperature
to 400°F and time for 5 minutes. Press Start. Remove and reserve in a separate
bowl, being sure to scrape any juices from the baking pan into the bowl with
the grapes.
4. Using about 1 tablespoon of olive oil, coat the baking pan along the
bottom and sides. Stretch the dough to fit into the pan and then cover with
plastic wrap; let rise for about 20 minutes, just enough to puff up a bit.
5. Remove the plastic wrap, and then put the pan in the Microwave AirFryer,
also in the upper rack position. Select Oven/AirFry, and set the temperature
to 425°F and time for 10 minutes. Press Start. When the time ends, very
carefully flip the partially baked dough (tongs are a good tool here), and
then, using your fingers, make indentations in the dough over the entire
surface. Brush the dough with additional olive oil, being sure to fully coat
the top and the sides. Top with the grapes, and sprinkle with the chopped
rosemary and kosher salt. Return to the oven. Select Oven/AirFry, and set the
temperature to 425°F and time for 15 minutes. Press Start.
6. Remove from the oven and immediately remove from the baking pan. Allow to
cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Macadamia Honeycomb Crisp
The magic power of the baking soda causes the sugar syrup mixture to bubble
and create the signature honeycomb texture. To ensure that the honeycomb
maintains that look, use a very quick and gentle touch
when pouring it onto the prepared pan.
Function: Microwave Makes about 24 servings
1
cup granulated sugar
½
cup light corn syrup
1
cup raw macadamia nuts, halved
2
tablespoons raw sesame seeds
½
teaspoon kosher salt
1
tablespoon unsalted butter
2
teaspoons baking soda
½
teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper (if lining with foil, lightly coat the foil with nonstick cooking spray). Reserve.
2. Put the sugar and corn syrup in a large microwave-safe bowl (a large glass
measuring cup works well). Stir well to combine. Put into the Cuisinart®
3-in-1 Microwave AirFryer Plus. Select Microwave, and set the time for 5
minutes and power level to High (10P); press Start. The mixture will be very
hot and actively bubbling. Add the nuts, seeds, and butter and stir quickly.
Return to the oven and select Microwave for 1 minute on High (10P); press
Start.
3. The final color should be the color of medium/medium-light maple syrup.
Continue to microwave on High (10P) for 30-second increments until the mixture
reaches this color.
4. Quickly stir in the baking soda and vanilla extract, and then immediately
pour onto the prepared baking sheet without pressing down the mixture (if you
press down or stir too much, the mixture will lose its signature
honeycomb/airy texture).
5. Allow to cool and set, about 40 minutes, then break into pieces. Store at
room temperature for up to 1 week.

Salted Caramel Sauce
This lovely caramel sauce is the perfect topping for an ice cream sundae or a piece of pound cake.
Functions: Microwave Makes ¾ cup
¾
cup granulated sugar (be sure that it is white granulated sugar
and not an unrefined variety. The white sugar makes it easier
to judge the doneness as the color changes while it cooks)
2
tablespoons water
2
tablespoons light corn syrup (be sure the corn syrup is clear
in color)
½
teaspoon fine sea salt
¼
cup heavy cream, divided
41
2
tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
½
teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1. Put the sugar, water, corn syrup, and salt into a medium microwavesafe
bowl. (An ovenproof clear glass vessel is ideal: It shows the color of the
caramel and can withstand high heat.)
2. Place into the Cuisinart® 3-in-1 Microwave AirFryer Plus. Select
Microwave, and set the time for 5 minutes and the power level to High (10P);
press Start. Check the color. Continue to cook in 20-second increments until
the syrup becomes a medium maple syrup color, then remove from the oven, and
allow to sit for 1 minute.
3. Very gradually, whisk in 2 tablespoons of the heavy cream, the butter (one
cube at a time), and the vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth, then whisk in
the remaining 2 tablespoons of the heavy cream. If you add the cream and
butter too quickly the caramel will seize (harden), and it is tricky to bring
it back to a sauce-like consistency.
4. Serve immediately. To store, put into an airtight container and store in
the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Warm in the microwave prior to serving.

Chocolate Shell Ice Cream Topping
This is perfect for topping an ice cream sundae or cone. There are two
different ways to assemble an ice cream sundae with the hard chocolate
coating: either finish with sprinkles, toasted nuts, and chopped cookies,
but be fast because the chocolate will harden quickly after it hits the cold
ice cream; or start with the other toppings (toasted nuts, cookies,
caramel sauce) and then finish with the hard chocolate coating.
Function: Microwave Makes about ½ cup
½
cup semisweet chocolate chips
1
tablespoon coconut oil
Pinch flaked sea salt
1. Put the chips and oil in a small microwave-safe bowl or glass liquid
measuring cup. Place in the Cuisinart® 3-in-1 Microwave AirFryer Plus. Select
Microwave, Chocolate Melt (A5) preset, and press Start. Stir well. If there
are still solid pieces, return to the oven and Microwave on medium (4P) for an
additional 20 seconds.
2. Allow to cool to room temperature but still pourable (this could take 15
to 20 minutes), and then pour over an ice cream sundae or filled ice cream
cone.
3. Store any leftover topping in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Microwave on Medium (4P) to bring back to a sauce consistency prior to using.

Kitchen Sink Marshmallow Rice Treats
A favorite childhood treat for many, marshmallow treats have the perfect
combination of gooey and crunchy. For the adult palate,
they sometimes come off as too sweet, and they don’t keep too well after a day
or two. Problems solved here. First, the sweetness is balanced with salty
pretzels, and drizzles of peanut butter and bittersweet chocolate. The shelf
life is lengthened thanks to a great tip
by Brooklyn pastry chef Libby Willis: The addition of sweetened condensed milk
keeps these treats soft and delicious for days!
Function: Microwave Makes 16 servings
8
tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces,
plus more (softened) for greasing the pan
1
10-ounce bag miniature marshmallows
¼
cup sweetened condensed milk
2
teaspoons pure vanilla extract
½
teaspoon sea salt
6
cups puffed rice cereal
¾
cup crushed salted pretzels
42
1
tablespoon creamy peanut butter (preferably unsweetened)
¼
cup bittersweet chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)
1. Prepare a 9-inch square baking pan by coating with softened butter and
then lining with parchment paper. Reserve.
2. Put the butter and marshmallows into a large microwave-safe casserole or
bowl. Put, uncovered, into the Cuisinart® 3-in-1 Microwave AirFryer Plus.
Select Microwave and set the time to 1 minute and the power level to High
(10P); press Start. Stir in the vanilla, salt, and then the cereal and
pretzels.
3. Transfer the cereal mixture into the prepared pan and press down to
compact the mixture well. Allow to set up at room temperature for 1 hour.
4. Just before the 1-hour rest period is over, warm the peanut butter. Put
the peanut butter into a small microwave-safe bowl, and put into the Microwave
AirFryer. Select Microwave, and set the time for 20 seconds and the power
level to High (10P). Using a fork or skewer, drizzle over the top of the
treats.
5. Next, melt the chocolate. Put the chocolate chips in a small microwave-
safe bowl. Select Microwave, Chocolate Melt (A-5) preset, and press Start.
Stir well to fully melt (or return to the oven and Microwave for additional
time on 4P if not fully melted). Drizzle over the top of the treats.
6. Put the pan in the refrigerator to set the peanut butter and chocolate
toppings, about 30 minutes.
7. Using the parchment paper, lift the treats from the pan. Cut into 16
pieces and serve.

Chocolate Glazed Doughnuts
While we can’t call them healthy–they are doughnuts, after all–air frying
makes these doughnuts lighter in texture and flavor. So dip them in the
chocolate with abandon knowing that you are saving a few calories from the
lack of cooking in oil.
Functions: Microwave, Oven/AirFry Makes 12 doughnuts
1
cup whole milk
4
tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
3
cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
¼
cup granulated sugar
2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
½
teaspoon fine sea salt
½
teaspoon finely grated orange zest
1
large egg, lightly beaten
1
teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Nonstick cooking spray
Vegetable oil for spraying/coating the doughnuts
Chocolate Glaze:
2
ounces bittersweet chocolate
¼
cup water
1
cups confectioners’ sugar
1
tablespoon coconut oil or unsalted butter
1
tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
¼
teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch flaked sea salt
Sprinkles or other toppings (optional)
1. Prepare the dough. Put the milk and butter into a microwave-safe bowl or measuring cup and put into the Cuisinart® 3-in-1 Microwave AirFryer Plus. Select Microwave, and set the time to 45 seconds and the power level to High (10P). Cool to about body temperature and reserve.
43
2. Put the flour, sugar, yeast, salt, and orange zest into a large shallow
bowl. Using a whisk or a bowl scraper, stir until the ingredients are well
combined. Reserve.
3. Whisk the egg and vanilla extract into the cooled milk/butter mixture,
then add to the dry ingredients. Mix well with a bowl scraper, spatula, or
clean hands. Knead in the bowl, or on a clean counter, until the dough forms a
cohesive dough that springs back slightly. This should take around 5 minutes
when mixing by hand (note: this process can also be prepared in a stand mixer
using the dough hook. Knead on a low speed. Please note that this dough is
very sticky so it will not produce a smooth, cohesive ball in the stand mixer,
but it should be springy by the end of about 8 to 10 minutes of kneading).
4. Transfer to a large mixing bowl; reserve.
5. Put a mug or small bowl of water in the oven. Microwave on High (10P) for
5 minutes. Remove the mug/bowl of water and then place the bowl of dough into
the oven (not covered). Close the door of the oven and allow to rise for 30
minutes. At this point the dough should be about doubled in size and should
spring back to the gentle touch of a floured finger.
6. After the dough has risen, transfer to a large cutting board, and gently
fold over a few times. Stretch into a 13×9-inch rectangle. Using a 3-inch
round cutter, cut out 12 circles of dough. Dip the cutter into flour between
cuts to keep it from sticking to the dough. Using a 1-inch cutter, cut out the
center of each round. Loosely cover with plastic wrap, and allow to rise for
30 to 40 minutes.
7. Lightly coat the AirFry basket with nonstick cooking spray, and place half
of the doughnuts into the basket. Lightly spray the dough all over with
vegetable oil. Put into the Microwave AirFryer. Select Oven/AirFry, and set
the temperature at 350°F and time for 5 minutes.
8. Remove and repeat with remaining doughnuts and the holes.
9. While the doughnuts are cooling, make the chocolate glaze. Put the
chocolate, water, and oil/butter into in a medium microwavesafe bowl or large
glass liquid measuring cup. Select Microwave, Chocolate Melt (A-5) preset, and
press Start. If the chocolate is not almost fully melted, return to the oven,
and microwave on 4P
for additional time in 10-second increments. Once melted, quickly whisk in the
remaining glaze ingredients. Cool for a few minutes. Dip one side of each
doughnut into the glaze, and then transfer to a platter. Top with sprinkles or
other delectable toppings, and serve.

Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
44
1. Make the lemon curd: Put the butter in a medium microwaveable cup or bowl,
and place in the Cuisinart® 3-in-1 Microwave AirFryer Plus. Select Microwave,
Butter Melt (A3) preset, and press Start. Let cool slightly.
2. Add the sugar, lemon zest and juice, eggs, and salt, and whisk vigorously
to combine. Place the cup uncovered in the oven. Select Microwave, and set the
time for 4 minutes and the power level to High (10P). Pause to whisk briskly
every minute, until the mixture is just thickened.
3. Continue to Microwave with the time and power set for 1 minute 30 seconds
on Medium High (7P). Pause to whisk briskly every 30 seconds. The mixture
should be thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. Add time if necessary.
Let cool slightly. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer. Cover the surface with
plastic wrap, and let cool at room temperature while you prepare the crust and
filling.
4. Make the crust: Lightly grease a 9-inch square baking pan, and line with
parchment paper, leaving an overhang on opposite sides. Put the butter in a
small microwaveable cup or bowl, place in the Microwave AirFryer, and select
the microwave preset A-3 to melt. Let cool slightly.
5. Combine the cookie crumbs, brown sugar, and salt in the prepared pan. Add
the melted butter, and mix until crumbs are evenly coated. Press into the
bottom of the pan, then chill in the freezer for 15 minutes. Once chilled,
place in the oven on the Oven/AirFry Pan. Bake on Oven/AirFry with the
temperature set to 325°F and time for 12 minutes. Pause to check at 10
minutes. The crust should be lightly golden brown. Carefully remove from the
oven and let cool while you prepare the filling.
6. Make the filling: In a large bowl using a hand mixer, combine the cream
cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the sour cream, eggs, vanilla, lemon zest,
and lemon juice, and mix until no lumps are visible. Scrape down the bowl as
needed. Pour the batter over the cooled crust.
7. Center onto the Oven/AirFry Pan. Fill the pan halfway with water. Select
Oven/AirFry, and set the temperature to 325°F and time for 20 to 25 minutes.
Pause to check at 20 minutes. The filling should
be mostly set with a little jiggle. Turn the oven off, and let the cheesecake
sit for a few minutes with the oven door open. Carefully transfer to a cooling
rack, and let cool in the pan for 30 minutes.
8. Spread the cooled lemon curd evenly over the cheesecake. Let the
cheesecake cool completely in the pan at room temperature. Cover loosely with
plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
Use the parchment overhang to lift the cheesecake out of the pan. Use a sharp
knife to cut into bars. Serve immediately.
