6. Cooking Guide and Tips

• Preheating: For best results, preheat the air fryer for 3-5 minutes before adding food.
• Oil Usage: While air frying requires little to no oil, a light spray or toss with oil can enhance crispiness and flavor for some foods.
• Batch Cooking: Avoid overcrowding the baskets. Cook in smaller batches if necessary to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
• Shaking/Tossing: For foods like fries, chicken nuggets, or vegetables, shaking or tossing the basket halfway through cooking helps achieve uniform results.
• Checking Doneness: Always check food for doneness, especially meats and poultry, using a food thermometer.
• Recipe Adjustments: Air fryer cooking times and temperatures may vary from conventional oven recipes. Start with recommended settings and adjust as needed.
