• A larger amount of food/ingredients only requires a longer preparation time,
• Shaking smaller food/ingredients halfway during the preparation time optimizes the end result and can help prevent uneven fried food/ingredients.
• Spray oil to fresh potatoes and fry your food/ingredients for another few minutes for a crispy result.
• Do not prepare extremely greasy food/ingredients such as sausages in the air fryer.
• The optimal amount for cooking crispy fries is 500 grams.
• Use pre-made dough to cook snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made dough also requires a shorter preparation time than homemade dough.
• Please use a baking tin or oven dish in the fryer basket if you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you want to fry fragile ingredients or filled ingredients.
• You can also use the air fryer to reheat food/ingredients. To reheat food/ingredients, set the temperature to 150°C for up to 10 minutes.
