- Shake at least half way through cooking.
Tips: in order to improve the cooking result, do not hesitate to shake 2-3 times when cooking.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging your appliance, never exceed the maximum quantities of ingredients and liquids indicated in the instruction manual and in the recipes.
**place the cake tin/oven dish in the bowl.
When you use mixtures that rise (such as with cake, quiche or muffins) the oven dish should not be filled more than halfway.
TIPS
- Smaller food will require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger size food. If you are unsure, you can open the bowl at any point of cooking to check progress.
- Shaking food halfway through the cooking time improves the end result and can help prevent uneven cooking.
- To make your potatoes extra crispy, try adding a small amount of oil before cooking and shake to evenly cover. We recommend 14 ml of oil.
- Snacks that can be cooked in an oven can also be cooked in the appliance.
- The optimal recommended quantity for cooking fries is 700 grams.
- Use ready made puff and shortcrust pastry to make filled snacks quickly and easily.
- Place an oven dish in the appliance’s bowl if you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you want to fry delicate ingredients or filled ingredients. You can use an oven dish in silicon, stainless steel, aluminium, terracotta.
- You can also use the appliance to reheat food. To reheat food, set the temperature to 160°C for up to 10 minutes. Cooking time could be adjusted depending on food quantity in order to fully reheat the food.
MAKING HOME-MADE CHIPS
If you want to make home-made chips, follow the steps below.
-
Choose a variety of potato recommended for making chips. Peel the potatoes and cut them into equal thickness chips.
-
Soak the potato chips in cold water for at least 30 minutes, drain them and dry them with a clean, highly absorbent tea towel. Then pat with paper kitchen towel. The chips must be thoroughly dry before cooking.
-
Pour 1 tablespoon of oil (vegetable, sunflower or olive) in a dry bowl, put the chips on top and mix until they are coated with oil.
-
Remove the chips from the bowl with your fingers or a kitchen utensil so that any excess oil stays behind in the bowl. Place the chips in the bowl.
Note: Do not tip the container of oil coated chips directly into the bowl in one go, otherwise excess oil will end up at the bottom of the bowl. -
Fry the chips according to the instructions in the section Cooking guide.

The bowl and the grid have a non-stick coating. Do not use metal kitchen
utensils or abrasive cleaning materials to clean them, as this may damage the
nonstick coating.
