5. Cooking Guidelines

Air frying offers a healthier alternative to deep frying, using significantly less oil while achieving similar crispy textures.

General Tips:

• Preheating: For best results, preheat the air fryer for 3-5 minutes before adding food. Use the 'Pre-heating' preset or set manually.
• Oil Usage: While air frying requires minimal oil, a light coating of oil on some foods can enhance crispiness.
• Shaking/Tossing: For even cooking, especially with smaller items like fries or nuggets, shake or toss the basket halfway through the cooking time.
• Don't Overfill: Avoid overcrowding the basket, as this can prevent proper air circulation and lead to uneven cooking. Cook in batches if necessary.
• Cooking Time: Air frying can be up to 30% faster than conventional ovens. Adjust cooking times accordingly.
