10.  AIR FRYING TECHNIQUE

Please refer to the Air Fry / Roast Cooking Chart and/or follow package directions for 
suggested 

TIME 

and 

TEMP

.

1. 

ALWAYS

 pat food dry before you start cooking to encourage better and more 

consistent browning and to avoid excess smoke.

2. 

To ensure 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 CRISPING TRAY. KEEP YOUR FACE AND HANDS AWAY FROM 
ESCAPING STEAM.

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. 

For extra crispiness, make sure the skin or exterior of your food is dry. Air fry small 
batches of food that has been pre-crumbed. Improve your cooking results by 
cutting crumbed food into smaller pieces. Using a binder like eggs will help your 
breadcrumbs adhere to your seafood/meat/poultry/vegetables. We recommend 
you refrigerate crumbed 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 crumbed food in the air 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 thus less oil is needed. Canola, 
olive, avocado, coconut, grapeseed, peanut, or vegetable oil work well.

8. 

Shake air fried foods out onto the serving area. Promptly insert a fryer basket into  
the 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 120ºC. Pull out the active basket at 

any time to check on your food’s temperature. Repeat to continue cooking until 
food is heated to your liking. 

10. 

Unplug the Dual Basket Air Fryer when not in use.
