6. Cooking Tips

• Oil Usage: While designed for oil-free cooking, a small amount of oil (1-2 tablespoons) can be added to some foods for extra crispiness.
• Even Cooking: Shake or flip smaller foods (like fries or chicken nuggets) halfway through cooking for more even results.
• Batch Cooking: For larger quantities, cook in smaller batches to ensure proper air circulation and even cooking.
• Food Placement: Do not overcrowd the basket. Leave some space between food items for optimal air flow.
• Frozen Foods: Most frozen foods can be cooked directly in the air fryer. Refer to packaging instructions for recommended temperatures and times, adjusting as needed.
