Cooking Tips
1. Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger
ingredients.
2. A larger amount of ingredients only requires a slightly longer cooking time, a
smaller amount of ingredients only requires a slightly shorter cooking time.
3. Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the cooking time optimises the end
result and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
4. Add some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients in the Air
Fryer within a few minutes after you have added the oil.
5. Do not prepare extremely greasy ingredients such as sausages in the Air Fryer.
6. Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the Air Fryer.
7. The optimal amount for cooking crispy fries is 500 grams.
8. Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made dough
also requires a shorter cooking time than home-made dough.
9. You can also use the Air Fryer to reheat ingredients. To reheat ingredients, set the
temperature to 150°C for up to 10 minutes.
