5. Cooking Guide

5.1 General Air Frying Tips

• Preheating: For best results, preheat the air fryer for 3-5 minutes at the desired temperature before adding food.
• Oil Usage: While air frying requires minimal oil, a light spray or toss with a teaspoon of oil can enhance crispiness and flavor for some foods.
• Do Not Overfill: Avoid overcrowding the basket. Cook in smaller batches if necessary to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
• Shake or Flip: For most foods, especially smaller items like chips or nuggets, shake the basket halfway through cooking or flip larger items to ensure even browning.
• Check Doneness: Always check food for doneness, especially meats, using a food thermometer.

5.2 Recommended Cooking Times and Temperatures

The following table provides general guidelines. Actual times and temperatures may vary based on food quantity, size, and desired crispiness. Refer to your recipe book for specific instructions.
