5. Cooking Guide

This air fryer oven uses hot air circulation to cook food, resulting in crispy textures with less oil. Cooking times and temperatures may vary based on food type, quantity, and desired crispness.

General Tips:

• Preheating: For best results, preheat the air fryer oven for 3-5 minutes before adding food.
• Oil Usage: While designed for oil-free cooking, a light spray or toss with oil can enhance crispness and flavor for some foods.
• Shaking/Turning: For even cooking, especially with items in the mesh baskets, shake or turn the food halfway through the cooking process.
• Overfilling: Do not overfill the baskets or trays. Cook in smaller batches if necessary to ensure proper air circulation and even cooking.
• Food Doneness: Always ensure food is cooked to a safe internal temperature.

Dehydrate Function:

The dehydrate function operates at lower temperatures (30°C to 80°C) over longer periods to remove moisture from food. This is ideal for making fruit leathers, dried fruits, vegetable chips, and jerky.

• Slice food thinly and uniformly for consistent drying.
• Arrange food in a single layer on the mesh baskets, ensuring good airflow.
• Drying times can vary significantly based on the food type, thickness, and desired dryness.
