AIRFRY
TIP: For best results, use the provided AirFryer Basket fitted into the Baking Pan .
This function is used to AirFry meals as a healthy alternative to deep frying in
oil . A high fan speed and multiple heating elements circulate hot air to prepare
a variety of meals that can be a healthy and delicious alternative to traditional
frying .
• Many foods that can be fried, can be AirFried without using excess amounts of
oil . AirFried foods will taste lighter and be less greasy than deep-fried foods .
• AirFrying doesn't require oil, but a light spray can enhance browning and
crispiness . Use an oil sprayer or a nonstick cooking spray to keep it extra
light . A pastry brush can also be used to evenly coat foods with a little oil .
Alternatively, pour a little oil into a bowl, add food, and toss .
• Most oils can be used for AirFrying . Olive oil is preferred for a richer flavor .
Vegetable, canola or grapeseed oils are recommended for milder flavors .
• An assortment of coatings can be used on AirFried foods . Some examples
of different crumb mixtures include: breadcrumbs, seasoned breadcrumbs,
panko breadcrumbs, crushed cornflakes, potato chips, and graham crackers .
Various flours, including gluten-free, and other dry meals, like cornmeal, work
as well .
• Most foods do not need to be flipped during cooking, but larger items, like
chicken cutlets, should be turned halfway through the cooking cycle to ensure
evenly cooked and browned results .
• When AirFrying large quantities of food that fill the pan, toss food halfway
through the cooking cycle to ensure evenly cooked results and color .
• Use higher temperatures for frozen foods and lower temperatures for
uncooked items .
• Foods will cook more evenly if they are cut into the same-size pieces .
• Please note that many foods release water when they cook . When cooking
large quantities for an extended period of time, condensation may build up,
which could leave moisture on your countertop .
