Shaking Food
How to Shake
•
During cooking, take the basket out of the
air fryer and shake, mix, or flip the food.
a. To shake food:
•
Hold the basket handle just above
a heat-resistant surface for safety
purposes. Shake the basket.
b. If the basket is too heavy to shake:
1.
Place the basket on a heat-resistant
holder or surface.
2.
Carefully shake the basket.
Note: Do not use this method if there is a risk
of hot liquids splashing.
c. If the basket is too heavy to shake and
there are hot liquids present:
1.
Place the basket on a heat-resistant
holder or surface.
2.
Use tongs to mix or flip the food.
•
When you take the basket out, the air
fryer will pause cooking automatically.
As a safety feature, the display will turn
off until the basket is replaced.
•
When you replace the basket, cooking
will automatically resume.
•
Avoid shaking longer than 30 seconds, as
the air fryer may start to cool down.
What to Shake
•
Small foods that are stacked will usually
need shaking, such as fries or nuggets.
•
Without shaking, foods may not be
crispy or evenly cooked.
•
You can flip other foods, such as steak,
to ensure even browning.
When to Shake
•
Shake or flip food once halfway through
cooking, or more if desired.
•
The Shake Reminder is designed to
remind you to check on your food. Tap
SHAKE
to turn on the Shake Reminder.
Certain functions use the Shake Reminder
automatically (see Cooking Function
Settings, page 9).
Shake Reminder
•
The Shake Reminder will alert you with
5 beeps, and
((SHAKE))
the display.
•
If you do not remove the baskets, the
Shake Reminder will beep again after
1 minute and the display will show a
solid ((SHAKE)).
•
The Shake Reminder will go away
once you take out the basket.
Cooking Guide
Overfilling
•
If the basket is overfilled, food will
cook unevenly.
•
Do not pack in food.
French Fries
•
Add ½–1 tbsp / 8–15 mL oil for
crispiness.
•
When making fries from raw potatoes,
soak uncooked fries in water for 15
minutes to remove starch prior to frying.
Pat dry with a towel before adding oil.
•
Cut uncooked fries smaller for crispier
results. Try cutting fries into ¼- by
3-inch / 0.6- by 7.6-cm strips.
Food Tips
•
You can air fry any frozen foods or
goods that can be baked in an oven.
•
To make cakes, hand pies, or any food
with filling or batter, place food in a
heat-safe container before placing in the
basket.
•
Air frying high-fat foods will cause fat
to drip to the bottom of the basket. To
avoid excess smoke while cooking, pour
out fat drippings after cooking.
•
Liquid-marinated foods create splatter
and excess smoke. Pat these foods dry
before air frying.
Using Oil
•
Adding a small amount of oil to your
food will make it crispier. Use no more
than 2 tbsp / 30 mL of oil.
•
Oil sprays are excellent for applying small
amounts of oil evenly to all food items.
