User Tips
- For best air frying results, preheat the oven for 5-10 minutes before adding food.
- Shake or flip food halfway through cooking for even browning and crispiness, especially when air frying.
- Use parchment paper or foil on the baking tray for easier cleanup, but ensure it doesn't block air circulation or touch heating elements.
- Experiment with different rack positions to achieve desired results for various foods. Higher racks for crispier tops, lower racks for more even baking.
