6. Cooking Guide
The air fryer uses rapid air circulation to cook food, resulting in crispy exteriors and tender interiors with significantly less oil. Refer to the included recipe guide for specific cooking suggestions.
General Guidelines:
- Preheating: While not always necessary, preheating for 3-5 minutes can improve results for some foods.
- Temperature Range: 80°C to 200°C (175°F to 400°F).
- Timer: Up to 60 minutes.
- Shaking: For even cooking, shake the baskets halfway through the cooking time for smaller items like fries or nuggets.
- Oil Usage: A small amount of oil (1 tablespoon or less) can be added to some foods for extra crispiness, but it is often not required.
