Tips from the Chef

To achieve the best results with your air fryer, consider the following tips:

• Switching Temperature Units: Press and hold the + and - buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds to toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius.
• Avoid Overcrowding: Do not overload the basket. Too much food prevents proper browning and increases cooking time.
• Shaking & Flipping: For even cooking and a crispy finish, shake the basket or flip food halfway through the cooking process. Loose foods like fries benefit from shaking, while breaded items cook best when flipped.

Cooking Techniques

Improve your cooking results with these techniques:

• Meats & Fish: Let thicker cuts of meat rest at room temperature for 15–20 minutes before cooking to ensure they are not raw in the center. After cooking, let steaks or fish fillets rest for 5–10 minutes to retain juices.
• Essential Utensils: Use an oil spray bottle for even coating. Baking tins are recommended for desserts, and tongs are useful for handling smaller items.
• Breading: For a crisp texture, coat food in flour, then egg, and finally breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs firmly onto the food.
