• Almost any food you cook 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 items.
• Smaller pieces of food may be cooked at higher temperatures than larger items because they
generally require less time to cook.
• For best results in the shortest amount of time, air fry food in single layers.
• Most prepared 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 and hors d’oeuvres air fry very well.
• Rotate trays halfway through the cooking cycle to ensure the most even results.
• Toss foods you are preparing from scratch, such as French fries, with oil, in a separate bowl,
to improve browning and crispiness. Fresh foods do not contain the same oils, fats and other
ingredients that prepared foods contain which promote browning and crispiness.
• When making French fries using fresh potatoes, ensure they are completely dry before
cooking in the Air Fryer+. Even the smallest droplets of moisture will prevent them from
getting crispy.
• When air frying battered food, stick to thick, pasty batters. Thin batters, such as the batters
used to make tempura, will run and not set fast enough like they do in a deep fryer.
• Coating battered foods in panko (Japanese-style breadcrumbs) or puffed rice, and then
spraying them with oil, help create crispy, healthier versions of your favorite fried foods.
• Cook chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 155°F and 165°F when rested.
• The Air Fryer+ is great for reheating food. To reheat your food, set the temperature to 300°F
for up to 10 minutes. Use a thermometer to ensure food reaches an internal temperature of
165°F, the recommended food-safe temperature for reheating food.
time.

13. Use oven mitts with the rotisserie retrieval tool to remove the hot spit with the hot
food from Air Fryer+.
How to Prepare the Rotisserie Spit (Max weight: 4lbs)
Chicken
1. If cooking a chicken on the rotisserie spit, ensure that a) all the innards have been
removed, b) it is seasoned and c) properly trussed. For instructions on how to truss
a chicken, go to www.chefman.com/truss.
2. Insert the rotisserie spit into the chicken’s cavity so that the chicken can hang freely
on the rod. Place the chicken with the rod on a cutting board.
3. Hold the rod in one hand, and one of the rotisserie forks, with the prongs pointed
toward the chicken, in the other hand. Insert the rod into the square notches on the
rotisserie fork.
CAUTION: Forks are sharp. Handle with care.
4. Poke the chicken with the fork and insert the prongs completely. Secure the fork by
tightening the screw. Repeat on the other side.
NOTE: Once the screws are tightened, there should be at least 1 inch of free space
on both ends of the rod. The chicken should also be secure; it should not be able to
slide back and forth on the rod.
Boneless meat (such as beef, pork, lamb, etc) or fruit (such as pineapple):
1. Insert the rotisserie spit, lengthwise, into the center of the meat or fruit. Place the
meat, or fruit, with the rod onto a cutting board.
2. Hold the rod in one hand, and the rotisserie fork, with the prongs pointed toward the
meat, in the other hand. Insert the rod into the square notches on the rotisserie fork.
CAUTION: Forks are sharp. Handle with care.
3. Poke the meat or fruit with the fork and insert the prongs completely. Secure the
fork by tightening the screw. Repeat on the other side.
NOTE: Once the screws are tightened, there should be at least 1 inch of free space
on both ends of the rod. The meat should also be secure; it should not be able to
slide back and forth on the rod.
How to Use the Rotisserie Retrieval Tool
1. Use oven mitts when handling the HOT retrieval tool.
2. Hold the retrieval tool by its handle.
3. Guide the retrieval tool into the Air Fryer+. Position it below the rotisserie spit or basket.
4. Use the retrieval tool to lift the right side of the rotisserie spit. Once it is free, lift the
left side.
5. Carefully guide the hot rotisserie spit or basket and food from the Air Fryer+.
