Helpful Tips & Cooking Guidelines
Note: Keep in mind that the guidelines are indications. As ingredients differ in origin, size, shape as well as brand, we cannot guarantee the cooking time for your ingredients. Please thoroughly check food is cooked correctly prior to consuming.
- For a crispy result, coat the ingredients in oil prior to adding it to the air fryer.
- Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter preparation time than larger ingredients.
- Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the preparation time optimizes the end result and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
- Place a baking tin or oven dish in the air fryer basket if you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you want to fry fragile ingredients or filled ingredients
- You can also use the air fryer to reheat ingredients. To reheat ingredients, set the temperature to 150℃ for up to 10 minutes.
- Always stand the drawer on a heat resistant surface when using this appliance.
- Please take care when cooking ingredients such as sausages, which may have a higher amount of fat in them, this will settle into the bottom of the drawer and may require emptying half-way through the cooking process.
CAUTION! – When cooking ingredients such as sausages or anything containing a lot of fat, remove the basket from the drawer before shaking.
