6. Cooking Tips

• Oil Usage: While the air fryer cooks with little to no oil, a small amount of oil (1 tablespoon) can enhance crispiness for some foods.
• Do Not Overcrowd: Avoid overfilling the basket. Cook food in smaller batches if necessary to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
• Shaking: For foods like fries or chicken nuggets, shaking the basket halfway through cooking helps ensure even browning.
• Cooking Times: Cooking times may vary depending on the size, quantity, and freshness of the food. Adjust as needed.
