AIR FRY TECHNIQUE
AIR FRYING PRE-PACKAGED FROZEN FOODS
HINTS FOR ROAST
Please consult the Air Fry / Roast Cooking Chart and/or follow package directions
for suggested TIME and TEMP.
1. Always pat food dry before cooking to encourage browning and avoid excess smoke.
2. To assure even cooking/browning, ALWAYS open the active basket halfway through the
cook time and check, turn or shake foods in the fryer basket. Some recipes may call to
brush or spray oil halfway through cooking. Adjust TEMP or TIME if needed.
WARNING: Extreme caution must be used when handling any hot fryer basket or crisper
tray. Avoid escaping steam from the fryer basket and the food.
CAUTION: Always use oven mitts when handling the hot air fryer basket.
CAUTION: Hot oil can collect at the base of the basket. Use caution when removing
cooking foods.
3. To avoid excess smoke, when cooking naturally high fat foods, such as bacon, chicken
wings or sausages, it may be necessary to empty fat from the fryer basket between
batches.
4. To ensure crispiness, make sure the skin or exterior surface of your food is dry! Air fry
small batches of freshly breaded foods. Create more surface area by cutting food into
smaller pieces. Press breading onto food to help it adhere. Refrigerate breaded foods for
at least 30 minutes before frying.
5. To improve crispiness, dust poultry skin or exterior surface lightly with corn starch. Spray
with oil.
6. Arrange breaded food in fryer basket so that food is not touching to allow air flow on all
surfaces.
7. Spray oils work best. Oil is distributed evenly and less oil is needed. Canola, olive,
avocado, coconut, grapeseed, peanut, or vegetable oil work well.
8. Shake air fried foods out onto serving area. Promptly insert any fryer basket into Air Fryer
body and lock into place. Continue air frying subsequent batches, if any.
9. Press REHEAT to air fry food for 6 minutes at 120°C. Simply pull out the active basket to
interrupt air frying at any time to check on food serving temperature. Repeat to extend
cook time until food is heated to your liking.
10. Unplug the Dual Basket Air Fryer when not in use.
• As a rule, depending on the food and amount to be cooked, suggested cook posted
cook TIMES may have to be reduced slightly. Always check food halfway through
cooking time to determine final cook TIME and TEMP.
• Always check cooking progress after TIME has expired.
IMPORTANT! Consult the USDA Cooking Guidelines section of this instruction
manual before cooking begins. Always test meat using an accurate cooking
thermometer.
• A meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meat should always be used to
ensure desired doneness.
• Cook meats to 5 to 10 degrees below desired doneness (internal temperature). Allow
meat to stand 15 to 20 minutes before serving. The temperature will continue to rise
while standing.
• ROAST large, tender cuts of meat and poultry. Seasoning prior to cooking adds to the
flavor and the aroma during cooking.
• A layer of fat on the top of the roast promotes better browning and provides natural
basting.
• To speed up browning, brush lean cuts of meat, chicken and fish with oil, margarine or
melted butter.
• Place meat (fat side up) and turn over half-way through ROAST time.
IMPORTANT: Turn and check food halfway through ROAST time.
• Press

HINTS FOR BROIL
• Use BROIL to melt cheese or to brown crumb toppings.
• Typically, BROIL is used for thinner, tender cuts of meats, or marinated meats, chops,
poultry or fish, fruits and vegetables
• Dry marinated meats and fish before broiling. ALWAYS pat meat dry to reduce smoke
and promote brownness during broiling.
• To speed up browning and add lusciousness, brush lean cuts of meat, chicken and fish
with oil or melted butter.
• Trim excess fat from meat and score edges to prevent curling.
• Thaw frozen meats and fish before broiling.
• BROIL TIME is determined by the desired doneness Always use a meat thermometer.
•
HINTS FOR BAKE
• When using BAKE, you may need to lower the bake recipe temperature by 10°C to a
minimum of 150°C.
• Check package directions to determine if the container is suitable for use in an Air Fryer.
