6. Cooking Tips
- For best results, preheat the air fryer for 3-5 minutes before adding food.
- Shake or flip smaller items halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
- Do not overcrowd the basket or grids. Cook in batches if necessary to allow hot air to circulate properly.
- Lightly spray or brush food with oil for extra crispiness, especially for fresh vegetables or homemade fries.
- Refer to specific recipes or cooking charts for recommended temperatures and times for various foods.
