Tips

• Foods that are smaller in size usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger ones.
• Large sizes or quantities of food may require a longer cooking time than smaller sizes or quantities.
• Flipping or turning food halfway through the cooking process ensures that the food is evenly cooked.
• Misting a bit of vegetable oil on fresh potatoes is suggested for a crispier result. When adding a little oil, do so just before cooking.
• Snacks normally cooked in an oven can also be cooked in the Emeril Lagasse Power AirFryer 360 Plus.
• Use premade dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Premade dough also requires a shorter cooking time than homemade dough.
