5. Cooking Guide

For best results, follow these general guidelines when air frying:

• Preheating: For optimal crispiness, 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.
• Do Not Overfill: Avoid overcrowding the basket. Cook food in smaller batches to ensure even cooking and browning.
• Shake or Flip: For even cooking, especially with smaller items like fries or nuggets, shake the basket halfway through the cooking time. For larger items, flip them.
• Check Doneness: Always ensure food is cooked to a safe internal temperature. Cooking times may vary based on food type, quantity, and desired crispiness.
