TIPS AND HINTS:
AIRFRY:
- Many food that can be fried can be Air Fried without using excess amounts of oil. Air Fried foods will
taste lighter and be less greasy than deep-fried foods.
- Air Frying doesn’t require oil, but a light spray can enhance browning and crispiness. Use an oil
sprayer or a nonstick olive oil cooking spray to keep it extra light, a pastry brush to evenly coat, or
pour a little oil into a bowl, add food, and toss.
- Most oils can be used for Air Frying. Olive oil is preferred for a richer flavor. Vegetable, canola or
grapeseed oils are recommended for milder flavors.
- An assortment of coatings can be used on Air Fried foods. Some examples of different crumb
mixtures include: breadcrumbs, seasoned breadcrumbs, panko breadcrumbs, crushed cornflakes,
potato chips, and graham crackers. Various flours, including gluten-free, and other dry foods like
cornmeal work as well.
- Most foods do not need to be flipped during cooking, but larger items, like chicken cutlets, should be
turned halfway through the cooking cycle to ensure evenly cooked and browned results.
- When Air Frying large quantities of food that fill the pan, toss food halfway through the cooking cycle
to ensure evenly cooked results and color.
- Use higher temperatures for foods that cook quickly, like bacon and chips, and lower temperatures
for foods that take longer to cook, like breaded chicken.
- Foods will cook more evenly if they are cut into the same-size pieces.
- Please note that many foods release water when they cook. When cooking large quantities for an
extended period of time, condensation may build up, which could leave moisture on your countertop.
