7. Cooking Tips

• Preheating: For best results, especially with air frying and baking, preheat the oven to the desired temperature before adding food.

• Even Cooking: For uniform browning and crispiness, shake the air fryer basket or flip food halfway through the cooking cycle.
• Capacity: The 24QT capacity is suitable for meals for 4 to 6 people. Avoid overcrowding the basket or pan to ensure proper air circulation and even cooking.
