6. Cooking Guide
The air fryer uses hot air circulation to cook food, resulting in crispy textures with little to no added oil. Cooking times and temperatures may vary based on food type, quantity, and desired crispiness.
- Oil Usage: While not always necessary, a small amount of oil (1 tablespoon) can enhance crispiness for some foods.
- Capacity: The 5-liter volume is suitable for up to approximately 750g of fries in a single batch. Avoid overcrowding the basket to ensure even cooking.
- Preheating: For best results, preheat the air fryer for 3-5 minutes at the desired cooking temperature before adding food.
- Shaking: Foods like fries, nuggets, and smaller items benefit from shaking the basket halfway through cooking.
- Temperature and Time: Experiment with settings. Generally, air frying requires slightly lower temperatures and shorter times than conventional ovens.
