A GUIDE TO INGREDIENTS AND HINTS AND TIPS

Not suitable for sausages with very high-fat content. Hot oil can spit onto the heating element and cause the appliance to smoke.
You can cook snacks that would normally be cooked in an oven in the Adjustable Air Fryer.
You can use the Adjustable Air Fryer to reheat ingredients, using the reheat function, the default temperature is 180°C for 5 minutes.
Cut food into even sizes for even cooking.

CHIPS

We recommend Maris Piper and King Edward potatoes for making chips. Store them in a dark cellar or a cool cupboard away from light.
When you have peeled your potatoes, wash them thoroughly before cutting, and wash them again once they have been cut – this will remove the starch.
Dry the chips using a highly absorbent clean tea towel or kitchen towel.
For crispier chips, coat your chips lightly in oil and cook within a few minutes.
PLEASE NOTE: This is an oil-free fryer that works on hot air. DO NOT fill the crisper drawer with oil or any other liquid.
The thinner the chips, the crispier they will be. The thicker the chips, the fluffier on the inside they will be.
Change the cooking time according to the thickness of your chips. If you prefer chips to be crispy, try cooking for a couple more minutes.
To add a different taste to your chips, you can coat them in different types of oil.
You can also cook frozen chips in the Adjustable Air Fryer, as they are pre-cooked and pre-coated so there is no need to add oil.
