Airfryer Primer

Preparing healthier fried, baked, roasted, and grilled foods in the Airfryer is a simple process. With just a little practice, you’ll discover how easy it is to cook with this versatile appliance.

Set the Airfryer on a stable, heat-resistant work surface. Plug the unit into a wall outlet.

Using the digital touch control panel, press the power button to switch on the appliance, then use the smart presets for your favorite dishes or set the temperature using the up/down arrows. Press the start/pause button on the bottom center of the panel. The set temperature will flash until the temperature is reached; allow at least 3 minutes for preheating.

Carefully remove the cooking basket from the preheated Airfryer. Add the food to the basket, then slide the basket back into the Airfryer. Optional Airfryer accessories can also be utilized at this point, such as a nonstick baking pan or a double layer rack (which easily slip inside the basket), or a metal snack cover (which rests atop the basket to reduce spattering and prevent overbrowning).

Set the cooking time by pressing the up/down arrows on the control panel. Add a few minutes to the cooking time indicated in the recipe, so you won’t have to reset the Airfryer if the food needs to cook longer. If necessary, you can also change the time or temperature at any point during the cooking process. When the timer goes off, the Airfryer will automatically shut off.

Unless the recipe directs otherwise, check the food halfway through the cooking time to make certain it is cooking evenly. See Airfryer Tips & Tricks (page 10) for ways to ensure evenly cooked food and to prevent overbrowning andsmoking.

When the cooking is complete, remove the food from the airfryer with tongs or a long-handled spatula. Work carefully, as the cooking accessories will be very hot and opening the appliance will release hot steam.
