Because the rapid hot air technology instantly reheats the air inside the appliance, pulling the Outer Basket briefly out of the appliance during hot air frying barely disturbs the process.
Consult the Charts in this manual or the Recipe Guide to determine the correct settings.
To ensure even cooking, some foods require "shaking" during the cooking process. To do this, simply remove the Outer Basket and Fry Basket from the Unit... gently shake the contents as needed and place back in Unit to continue cooking. For heavier foods, you might want to separate the Fry Basket from the Outer Basket before shaking. To do this, place the assembled Outer Basket and Fry Basket on a heat resistant surface. Press the Release Button and gently lift the Fry Basket. Shake ingredients, place the Fry Basket in the Outer Basket and return it to the Unit to finish cooking.
Caution: The Outer Basket will be hot... wear an oven mitt during this procedure. Never press the release button while shaking Fry Basket.
Tip: Set the Timer to one half the time needed for the recipe and the Timer bell will alert you when it's time to "shake".
When you hear the timer bell, the pre-set preparation time has elapsed. Pull the Outer Basket out of the appliance and place it on a heat resistant surface. To remove ingredients (i.e., fries), place the Fry Basket on a heat resistant-surface, press the Release Button and lift the Fry Basket out of the Outer Basket. Turn the Fry Basket over and let the ingredients fall on a plate. Use nonabrasive utensils to remove larger foods.
Do not turn the Fry Basket upside down with the Outer Basket still attached... excess oil that has collected on the bottom of the Outer Basket will leak onto the food.
When a quantity of food is cooked, the Unit is instantly ready for preparing another batch.
The following table will help you select the correct temperature and time for best results. As you become more familiar with the Air Fryer cooking process, you may adjust these settings to suit your own personal tastes.
Because the rapid hot air technology instantly reheats the air inside the appliance, pulling the Fry Basket briefly out of the appliance during hot air frying barely disturbs the process.
Tips Foods that are smaller in size usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger ones. Large quantities of food only require a slightly longer cooking time than smaller quantities. "Shaking" smaller sized foods halfway through the cooking process, assures that all the pieces are evenly fried.
Adding 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 Air Fryer.
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 Fry Basket when baking a cake or quiche. A tin or dish is also suggested when cooking fragile or filled foods.
Use the Food Separator Insert to cook two foods at the same time, while keeping them separated.
You can use the Air Fryer to reheat foods. Simply set the temperature to 300°F for up to 10 minutes.
