IMPORTANT NOTES
• The panel timer suggestions are indicated for portions of 100 to 200 grams.
• It is recommended to dry out all frozen foods with a paper towel to prevent eventual ice
crystals formed during freezing from affecting the food texture.
• Food products with smaller portions or pieces cook faster than larger food products.
• Food products with bigger portions or pieces cook slower than smaller food products.
• Place smaller ingredient portions into the basket to ensure optimal results. Cover the
bottom of the basket only with a layer of food products.
• To ensure optimal results, use frozen products ready to bake.
• When cooking homemade food products, keep in mind they may be lighter and less
crispy.
• It is recommended to shake food products inside the basket during preparation to
ensure optimal results and even cooking.
• Drying fresh potatoes with a paper towel is recommended before cooking. Before
placing them into the basket, brush some oil or olive oil for a crispier result.
• Snacks typically baked in the oven can also be used in the air fryer.
• Use precooked dough to quickly prepare stuffed snacks.
• In addition, precooked dough bakes faster than homemade dough.
• It can also be used to prepare more complex dishes, using a baking dish or pan that fits
into the basket, or aluminum or silicone muffin tins. You can also use the fryer to cook
food products with sauces, broths or even braised ingredients.
• Use lining products, such as aluminum wrap or parchment paper, at the bottom of the
basket to bake cakes, cookies, biscuits, muffins, etc. Keep in mind that covering the
bottom of the basket reduces airflow circulation and affects product performance.
Therefore, it is recommended to increase the cooking time in these cases.
• Greens and vegetables can be grilled in the fryer: eggplant, bell peppers, onions,
zucchini, corn cobs and peppers. The fryer is not recommended to cook vegetables
such as carrots, broccoli and green beans, which have a greater amount of water in their
composition.
• Chicken, beef, fish and many other types of meat, typically fried, grilled and baked, can
also be used in the fryer. Breaded beef and poultry products can also be used with excellent
results.
• You can brush some oil over the food products to get a crispier result.
• When frying pastries, place only one layer in the bottom of the basket and brush some
cooking oil or olive oil for crispier texture. The pastries must be flipped during preparation.
• Frozen foods take longer to cook, but the end result is the same as other food products.
• If possible, add only salt at the end of the process to ensure smoother consistency.
• Cooking times are merely suggestions and may vary according to room temperature,
food temperature, size and parts of foods, and the amount of water contained in the food
product.
