Tips from the Chef
Preheating & Shaking
Preheat your air fryer when cooking meats, baked goods, crispy foods, and fibrous vegetables. It speeds up cook times and helps food brown and cook evenly. Use the optional Shake function ? to alert you when to flip or shake your food. Great for crispy fries or perfectly cooked chicken breasts!
Air Frying Meats & Fish
Let thicker meat rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking to help food cook more quickly and evenly. After air frying a steak or piece of poultry, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving so your meat will be juicy and delicious. You can cook two different items at once if they require the same time and temperature to cook and won't cross-contaminate each other in the air fryer.
Peek Inside
Instead of opening the basket and releasing heat, turn on the interior light ? and look through the basket window ?️ to take a look at what's happening inside. The final result will be even better!
Adapting Traditional Oven Recipes
To adapt your favorite baking recipes from the traditional oven to the air fryer, use this basic formula: lower the temperature by 25°-50°F/15°-30°C and cut the cooking time down by 20%. For example: if a recipe calls for 350°F / 175°C and 20 minutes, then you can air fry at 325°F / 165°C for only 16 minutes. For best results, you may need to tweak the timing based on the size or type of recipe.
Crisper Plate
The crisper plate lifts up food for 360° airflow to achieve the perfect crisp. It should be used for most recipes and foods, though it can be removed when cooking larger foods or in specialty recipes.
Overcrowding
It's tempting to try to cook as much food as possible at once. However, overcrowding the basket may result in food not browning properly and taking longer to cook.
Air Frying Essentials
Stay away from using cooking sprays with propellants. Instead, invest in an oil spray bottle and use your own oil or use a store-bought spray that is free of propellants. For easy cleanup, line the crisper plate or basket with aluminum foil, parchment paper, air fryer liners, or a silicone air fryer mat. Never put parchment paper or other lightweight liners into the basket without food on top, as they may cause a fire hazard ❌?.
Cooking Functions
The cooking functions are programmed with ideal times and temperatures to make your life easier. The functions include: Chicken (optimized for wings), Frozen Food (for fries, tater tots, nuggets), Seafood (for a 1-inch-thick fillet), Bake (for general baking), and Vegetable (for roasting root vegetables). All cooking functions can be customized, and the air fryer can be used freestyle – just set the time and temperature as desired and press Start/Pause ▶️ ||.
