Cooking Tips

The Omni Plus toaster oven cooks all your favorite fresh and frozen oven-baked and air fried snacks—fast!

Use the Smart Programs as a starting point and experiment with cooking times and temperatures to get the results you prefer.

• Rotisserie-cooked foods and rotisserie accessories and foods must be placed in the oven before touching Start.
• With the exception of rotisserie-cooked foods, most foods will benefit greatly from a preheated oven.
• When cooking coated food items, use an egg wash and breadcrumb batter instead of liquid-based batters to ensure that the batter will stick to the food.
•  For crispy, golden fries, soak fresh potato sticks in ice water for 15 minutes, pat dry and spray lightly with cooking oil before inserting them into the oven.
• When baking a cake, pie, quiche, or any food with filling or batter, use an oven-safe baking dish and cover the food to prevent the top from overcooking.
• Air frying can cause oil and fat to drip from foods. If white smoke appears, carefully remove and empty the cooking pan.
• To ensure seasoning adheres to food items, spray them with cooking oil before adding seasoning.
• Use any oven-safe cookware in your Omni Plus toaster oven.

Cooking Timetable

*Note: Cooking times and temperatures are recommendations only. Always follow a trusted recipe.
