ACTIFRY GENIUS COOKING TIPS

• Do not add salt to chips while the chips are in the cooking pan. Only add salt once the chips are removed from the cooking pan.

• When adding dried herbs and spices to ActiFry, mix them with some oil or liquid. If you try sprinkling them directly into the pan they will just get blown around by the hot air system.

• Strong coloured spices may slightly stain the paddle and parts of the appliance. This is normal.

• Prepare all food in evenly sized pieces to ensure that they all cook at the same time.

• Prepare vegetables, especially root vegetables, in small pieces or stir fry size to ensure they cook through.

• If using onions in ActFry recipes they are best thinly sliced rather than chopped as they cook better. Separate the onion rings before adding them to the cooking pan and give them a quick stir so that they are evenly distributed.
  For the automatic cooking mode only:

• For selected cooking modes, ingredients should be placed in the cooking pan as stated in the ActiFry Genius recipe book. This ensures the right level of cooking for each ingredient. Those which require a longer cooking time are put in the top half of the pan. Those requiring a shorter cooking time are put next to the handle.

COOKING TIMES

The cooking times are given as a rough guide and may vary depending on the seasonality of the food, its size, the quantities used and individual tastes, as well as the voltage. The amount of oil indicated may be increased depending on your taste and needs. If you want crisper chips, you can add a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

Potatoes

• Freshly harvested potatoes may require a longer cooking time to obtain a crisper more golden brown result.
• For best results we recommend using frozen chips without any wheat flour batter coating as they tend to give less crisp results and the batter may fall off during cooking (check the ingredient list on the packet for details).

Meat- poultry
To add a little flavour to your meat, don’t hesitate to mix spices in with the oil (paprika, curry, mixed herbs, thyme, bay leaf, etc).
