Tips:

• Olive oil spray or vegetable oil works well for air frying.
• It is recommended to lower the recipe baking temperature by 10°C and reduce the cooking time by 30% to 50% depending on the food and amount.
• Do not overfill the frying basket with food. Never fill any frying basket more than 1/2 full.
• For best results, some foods need to be shaken vigorously or turned over half-way through cooking.
• To avoid excess smoke, when cooking naturally high fat foods, such as chicken wings or sausages, it may be necessary to empty fat from the frying basket drawer between batches.
• Always pat food dry before cooking to encourage browning and avoid excess smoke.
• Air fry small batches of freshly breaded foods. Press breading onto food to help it adhere. Arrange in frying basket so that food is not touching to allow air flow on all surfaces.
• The Air Fryer can be used to reheat food. Set the temperature to 140°C for up to 10 minutes.

Cooking Guide

WARNING: Always use a meat thermometer to ensure that meat, poultry and fish are cooked thoroughly before eating.

The following chart is intended as a guide only. The quantity of food air fried at one time, the thickness or density of the food and whether the food is fresh, thawed or frozen may alter the total cooking time necessary.

1. To assure even cooking/browning, open the frying basket drawer halfway through the cooking. Check, turn or vigorously shake foods in the frying basket. This chart lists average total air frying time, the time at which some action is required and what action is to be taken for best results.
2. Remember, frying smaller batches will result in shorter cooking times and higher food quality. Adjust air frying temperatures and times as necessary to suit your taste.

Note: Unless food is pre-packaged and pre-oiled, for browned and crispy results, all foods should be lightly oiled before air frying.

• Oil may be sprayed or brushed onto foods.
• Spray oils work well as oil is evenly distributed and smaller quantities of oil are needed.
• To ensure crispy results, make sure foods is dried before adding oil.
• Cut pieces smaller to create more surface area for crispier results.
• Add an additional 5 minutes to the AIR FRY TIME to allow the Air Fryer to preheat.
