• Large quantities of food only require a slightly longer cooking time than smaller quantities.
• “Flipping” or turning smaller sized foods halfway through the cooking process， assures that all the pieces are evenly fried.
• Misting a bit of vegetable oil to fresh potatoes is suggested for a crispier result.When adding a little oil,do so just before cooking.
• Snacks normally cooked in an oven can also be cooked in the Power Air Fryer Oven.
• Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made dough also requires a shorter cooking time than homemade dough.
• Place a baking tin or oven dish in the Power Air Fryer Oven when baking a cake or quiche. A tin or dish is also suggested when cooking fragile or filled foods.
