Thanks to its rapid-heating air circulation technology, it is allowed to take out the frying basket shortly from the appliance during cooking and the cooking result will hardly be affected.
Techniques:
- Ingredients in smaller sizes usually require a slightly shorter cooking time duration than large ones.
- Large quantities of ingredients usually require a slightly longer cooking time duration than that in smaller quantities and vice versa.

- Snacks normally cooked in an oven can also be cooked in this appliance.
- The best quantity of crispy French fries at one time is 500g.
- Use proofed dough to prepare stuffed snacks quickly and easily. A proofed dough also requires a shorter time than a homemade dough.
- Reheat food at 150°C for about 10 minutes.
How to Cook Homemade Strips
For a better result, frozen French fries are recommended. If you want to cook homemade strips, do as follows:
- Peel potatoes and cut them into strips.
- Soak potato strips into water for at least 30 minutes, then dry them with kitchen paper.
- Add 1/2 tbsp of olive oil in a bowl, put potato strips in and stir till they are coated with oil.
- Take potato strips out from the bowl but not the excessive oil, and put strips into the frying basket. Note: Do not put all potato strips into the frying basket at one time to avoid too much oil collecting on the bottom.
- Air fry the potato strips by referring to the chart above.
