5. Cooking Guide

This guide provides general recommendations. Actual cooking times and temperatures may vary based on food quantity, density, and desired crispness.

5.1 General Tips

• Preheating: For best results, preheat the air fryer for 5-10 minutes at the desired temperature 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 or rack. Cook in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking and browning.
• Shake/Flip: For even cooking, especially with smaller items like fries, shake the basket or flip the food halfway through the cooking time.
• Internal Temperature: Always ensure meat and poultry reach safe internal temperatures.

5.2 Capacity
