Helpful Hints
1. Olive oil or vegetable oil works well for air frying.
2. Use your Air Fryer to cook pre-packaged foods with a fraction of the oil, in a
fraction of the time! As a general rule, lower the recipe baking temperature by
10°C and reduce the cooking time by 30% to 50% depending on the food and
amount.
3. Do not overfill frying basket with food. NEVER fill any frying basket more than
2/3 full. When air frying fresh vegetables, we do not recommend adding more
than 3 cups of food to the frying basket.
4. For best results, some foods need to be shaken vigorously or turned over
during the air fry time. Consult the Air Frying Chart as a general guide.
5. To avoid excess smoke, when cooking naturally high fat foods, such as
chicken wings or sausages, it may be necessary to empty fat from the frying
basket drawer between batches.
6. Always pat food dry before cooking to encourage browning and avoid excess
smoke.
7. Air fry small batches of freshly breaded foods. Press breading onto food to
help it adhere. Arrange in frying basket so that food is not touching to allow air
flow on all surfaces.
8. The Air Fryer can be used to reheat food. Set the temperature to 200
o
C for up
to 10 minutes.

The following chart is intended as a guide only. The quantity of food air fried at
one time, the thickness or density of the food, and whether the food is fresh,
thawed, or frozen may alter the total cooking time necessary.

through the cooking time. Check, turn or vigorously shake foods in the frying
basket. This chart lists average total air frying time, the time at which some
action is required, and what action is to be taken for best results.
