COOKING TIPS

• Almost any food that is traditionally cooked in the oven can be air fried.
• Foods cook best and most evenly when they are of similar size and thickness.
• Smaller pieces of food require less cooking time than larger pieces.
• For best results in the shortest amount of time, air fry food in small batches. Avoid stacking or layering when possible.
• Most prepackaged foods do not need to be tossed in oil before air frying. Most already contain oil and other ingredients that enhance browning and crispiness
• Frozen appetizers air fry very well. For best results, arrange them on the tray in a single layer.
• If layering foods, be sure to shake the basket halfway through (or flip food) to promote even cooking.
• Toss foods you are preparing from scratch, such as French fries or other vegetables, with a small amount of oil to promote browning and crispiness.
• When air frying fresh vegetables, make sure to pat them dry completely before tossing with oil and air frying to ensure maximum crispiness.
  • Air fryers are great for reheating food, including pizza. To reheat your food, set the temperature to 150^ C for up to 10 minutes.
