3. SETTINGS

The chart below indicates which settings should be used for which ingredients.

ATTENTION: these settings are merely indicative. Since each ingredient may differ from brand to brand, but also from size, shape, content... it is possible that the indicated settings don't always entirely correspond.

TIPS:

• Smaller ingredients often require a shorter baking time than larger ingredients.
• Shaking small ingredients during the baking process might improve the final result. (See USE).
• Add a little bit of oil on fresh potatoes for a crispier result. Add the oil on the ingredients before putting them in the basket. Bake the ingredients within a few minutes after adding the oil.
• Snacks that can be prepared in a traditional oven can be prepared in the SnackTastic®. Snacks or fries only meant to be prepared in a deep fryer will not provide the desired result.
• You can use the SnackTastic® to heat up ingredients. To do so, set the temperature on 150°C for a maximum of 10 minutes.

*see use

Homemade fries

For the best result we advise to use prebaked fries (e.g., frozen fries). If you want to make homemade fries, we advise you following the steps below.

1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into fries.
2. Soak the fries in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes, take them out and dry them with some paper towel.
3. Pour 12 spoon of oil in a bowl, add the fries and mix properly until all fries are covered with oil.
4. Don't pour the fries from the bowl into the basket to avoid abundant oil from ending up in the pan. Take out the fries from the bowl with your hands or tongs so that abundant oil remains in the bowl. Put the fries in the basket.
5. Bake the fries as mentioned earlier.
