COOKING TIPS

For an extensive list of foods and their ideal amounts, temperature, and time settings, along with preparation notes, see the Air Fry Cooking Chart and Dehydrate Chart on pages 64 through 67 of the Gourmia Recipe Book.
Air fryers perform similar to ovens; follow oven instructions on item packaging or recipe.
Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.
Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter cook time than larger ingredients.
Preheating the air fryer before adding food will generally deliver the best results (see PREHEAT on page 9).
When cooking multiple batches in a row, only preheat before the first batch.
Turning or tossing food halfway through cook time will deliver evenly browned and crispy results (see TURN REMINDER on page 9).
Toss fresh potatoes with 1 tablespoon of oil for a crispy exterior. Air fry the ingredients within a few minutes after adding the oil.
Do not cook foods that will produce a large amount of grease in the air fryer.
Place a baking pan or an oven-safe dish or pan in the basket to bake a cake or quiche or to air fry fragile or filled ingredients.

Let the air fryer cool down completely before cleaning. Remove the basket from the air fryer to cool it down quicker.
