Air Frying Techniques and Cooking Tips

Proper food preparation, basket arrangement, and regular checks during cooking help produce even results.

Preparing Food Before Air Frying

Food should be patted dry before cooking to encourage browning and reduce excess smoke.

Unless a food is already pre-oiled, a light coating of oil can help achieve a browned and crisp texture.

The manual lists the following suitable oils:

• Canola oil
• Olive oil
• Avocado oil
• Coconut oil
• Grapeseed oil
• Peanut oil
• Vegetable oil

Spray oils distribute oil evenly and can reduce the total amount needed.

Shaking and Turning Food

For even browning, food should be checked halfway through the cooking cycle.

1. Pull out the frying basket using its handle.
2. Place the hot basket drawer on a heat-resistant surface.
3. Check the cooking progress.
4. Turn or shake the food as required by the cooking instructions.
5. Adjust the temperature or time if necessary.
6. Reinsert the basket drawer to continue cooking.

Caution: Always use oven mitts when handling the hot basket. The manual also directs users to keep the clear basket lock secured when shaking food.

Cooking Breaded Foods

For crispier results when preparing freshly breaded foods:

1. Cut food into smaller pieces when appropriate to increase its exposed surface area.
2. Press the breading firmly onto the food.
3. Refrigerate breaded food for at least 30 minutes before air frying.
4. Arrange the pieces in the frying basket without allowing them to touch.
5. Leave space for air circulation around the food.
6. Cook using the selected time and temperature.

Smaller cooking batches can produce shorter cooking times and better results.

Cooking High-Fat Foods

Naturally fatty foods, including bacon, chicken wings, and sausages, may release grease into the basket drawer.

To reduce excessive smoke, accumulated fat may need to be emptied between batches.

Hot oil can collect at the bottom of the drawer. The manual warns against turning the drawer upside down with the frying basket attached and directs users to remove the basket before emptying collected oil.

Use the basket-lock and removal precautions described in the operating instructions. Handle accumulated hot oil carefully to avoid burns.

Air Frying Frozen Foods

Prepackaged frozen foods can also be prepared in the air fryer.

Cooking time may need to be reduced depending on the food type and quantity.

The manual recommends:

1. Following the food package’s suggested cooking instructions where appropriate.
2. Checking the food halfway through the cooking cycle.
3. Adjusting the time or temperature as necessary.
4. Checking cooking progress again after the selected time finishes.

Air Frying Cooking Time and Temperature Chart

The following cooking suggestions are taken from the instruction manual. Cooking times are estimates based on average food sizes and weights.

Actual cooking time can vary with the amount, thickness, and density of food. Adjust cooking time as necessary and verify doneness before serving.

Vegetable and Potato Cooking Chart

Meat, Chicken, and Seafood Cooking Chart

The ribeye steak entries are based on two steaks weighing approximately 1.25 lb each and measuring 1½ inches thick, starting at room temperature. The chart includes a 15-minute resting instruction for steak.

Important: These cooking times are estimates, not guarantees of doneness. The manual requires a meat thermometer to confirm that meat, poultry, and fish are thoroughly cooked before serving.

Food Internal Temperature Guidance

The instruction manual provides the following internal cooking temperatures.

These are the temperature recommendations printed in the supplied manual. Cooking times and appearance alone should not be used to determine whether food is safe to eat.

Resting Food After Cooking

The air frying instructions recommend allowing cooked food to rest for 5–10 minutes.

After cooking:

1. Remove the frying basket drawer from the appliance.
2. Place it on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
3. Allow the food to rest for the recommended period.
4. Remove the cooked food carefully.
5. Return the basket to its operating position before preparing another batch.
