SILICONE AIR FRYER BASKET

The silicone air fryer basket is the perfect air fryer accessory for your air fryer. It’s convenient, cleans easily, is BPA-free, and is durable. It is made from soft, flexible food-grade silicone, which is resistant to extreme temperatures from 40°C to 210°C and therefore dishwasher, air fryer, safe. The breakthrough design with Ribs positioned at a 45° angle, staggered rows and raised center ensures that fat and grease effectively drain during cooking, while the ergonomic design allows equal heat distribution for even cooking.

Silicone basket dimension: 20*20cm.

WARNING : After air frying, the basket and food will be hot.
Do not touch hot surfaces with your hands, always use hand protection to avoid burns. Do not use sharp or metal utensils which can scratch and tear the silicone basket or the nonstick surfaces.

Making home-made fries
For the best results, we advise to use pre-baked fries. If you want to make home-made fries, follow the steps below:

1.  Peel the potatoes and cut them into sticks.

2.  Soak the potato sticks in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes, take them out and dry them with kitchen paper.

3. Pour 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in a bowl, put the sticks on top and mix until the sticks are coated with oil.

4. Remove the sticks from the bowl with your fingers or a kitchen utensil so that excess oil stays behind in the bowl. Put the sticks in the tray.
   Note: Do not tilt the bowl to put all the sticks in the tray in one go, to prevent excess oil from collecting at the bottom of the basket.

5. Fry the potato sticks according to the instructions in this chapter.

CLEANING

Clean the appliance after every use.
The basket, tray and the inside of the appliance have a non-stick coating. Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials to clean them, as this may damage the non-stick coating.

2. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a moist cloth.
