Air Frying Chart
WARNING! ALWAYS USE A MEAT THERMOMETER TO ENSURE THAT MEAT, POULTRY AND FISH ARE
COOKED THOROUGHLY BEFORE EATING. The following chart is intended as a guide only. The quantity
of food air fried at one time, the thickness or density of the food, and whether the food is fresh, thawed,
or frozen may alter the total cooking time necessary.
1. To assure even cooking/browning, open the frying basket drawer halfway through the cooking time.
Check, turn or vigorously shake foods in the frying basket. This chart lists average total air frying
time, the time at which some action is required, and what action is to be taken for best results.
2. Remember, frying smaller batches will result in shorter cooking times and higher food quality.
Adjust air frying temperatures and times as necessary to suit your taste.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Unless food is pre-packaged and pre-oiled, for browned and crispy results,
all foods should be lightly oiled before air frying.
•
Oil may be sprayed or brushed onto foods.
•
Spray oils work well as oil is evenly distributed and smaller quantities of oil are needed.
•
To ensure crispy results, make sure foods are dried before adding oil.
•
Cut pieces smaller to create more surface area for crispier results.
•
Blanching is a term that refers to pre-cooking foods at a lower temperature before the final air fry.
•
Add 3 minutes to the AIR FRY TIME to allow the Air Fryer to preheat.
