Main Cooking Recipes
This table below helps you to select the basic settings for the ingredients you want to prepare.
NOTE: Keep in mind that these settings are indications. As ingredients differ in origin, size, shape as well as brand, we cannot guarantee the best setting for your ingredients.

Note: This table s only a guide and does not contain exact recipes.
Note: Use extreme caution while handiing hot food in fryer basket. Excess oil will drip into basket when preparing greasy foods. Empty the basket after every use.
COOKING TIPS

• Almost any food that is traditionally cooked in the oven can be air fried.
• Foods cook best and most evenly when they are of similar size and thickness.
• Smaller pieces of food require less cooking time than larger pieces.
• For best results in the shortest amount of time, air fry food in small batches. Avoid stac- king or layering when possible
• Most prepackaged foods do not need to be tossed in oil before air frying. Most already contain oil and other ingredients that enhance browning and crispiness.
• Frozen appetizers air fry very well. For best results, arrange them on the tray in a single layer.
• If layering foods, be sure to shake the basket halfway through (or flip food) to promote even cooking.
• Toss foods you are preparing from scratch, such as French fries or other vegetables, with a small amount of oil to promote browning and crispiness.
• When air frying fresh vegetables, make sure to pat them dry completely before tossing with oil and air frying to ensure maximum crispiness.
• Air fryers are great for reheating food, including pizza. To reheat your food, set the tem- perature to 150°C for up to 10 minutes.

HOW TO SHAKE

If some ingredients require shaking halfway through the preparation time.

1. To shake the ingredients, pull the pan out of the fryer by the handle (the fryer wil automatically shut down), and carefully shake the ingredients.
2. After done, slide the pan back into the air fryer. The fryer will automatically continue to work.

MAKING HOMEMADE FRIES

For best results, we advise to use pre-baked (.g. frozen) fries. If you want to make home-made fries, follow the steps below.

1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into sticks.
2. Soak the potato sticks in a bow! for at least 30 minutes, take them out and dry them with kitchen paper.
3. Pour % tablespoon of olive oil in a bowl, put the sticks on top and mix until the sticks are coated with oil.
4. Remove the sticks from the bowl with your fingers or a kitchen utensil so that excess oil stays behind in the bowl. Put the sticks in the basket.

• Note: Do not tilt the bow to put all the sticks in the basket in one go, to prevent excess oil from ending up on the bottom of the pan. 5. Fry the potato sticks according to the instructions.
