Some tips and recommendations on temperature and time are
listed below.
• When using the Cuisinart
need to be reduced because of the convection fan's high speed.
Start checking foods about 5 to 10 minutes before the end of the
suggested cooking time.
• When making baked goods in the unit, we recommend:
– Using a heat-safe baking pan (not included) on the
crisper plate.
– For recipes not specifically developed for this Cuisinart
Basket Air Fryer, we suggest cooking at a lower temperature
(25°F to 50°F lower) than what the recipe indicates.
• The Cuisinart
Basket Air Fryer can be used to broil beef,
®
chicken, pork, fish, and more.
• Use Broil to top-brown casseroles and gratins. For best results
set the temperature to the highest setting (450°F). Keep a close
eye on food as it browns quickly.
• To roast vegetables and cuts of meat, set the temperature
to 400°F.
