Air Fry Basket Sheet Pan Wire Rack When cooking in the Bottom Oven with the air fry basket, use the sheet pan on wire rack below to catch any food droppings and help with easier clean up. Roast Tray Sheet Pan Wire Rack Use a roast tray with Whole Roast or Air Roast to prevent excess grease splatter. A roast tray can be purchased separately on ninjakitchen.com. Always use recommended oils For less smoke, use oils with a high smoke point--like canola, avocado, vegetable, or grapeseed oil--instead of olive oil. If you choose to cook ingredients at a higher temperature than recommended, it may result in more smoke and food having a burnt, acrid flavor. Cook large, fatty proteins at or below 375°F and clean accessories and inside of unit regularly. For marinades containing sugar, honey, or other sweeteners, brush onto proteins halfway through broiling to avoid burning.
