Cooking tips
Give all your favorite fresh and frozen oven-baked and deep-fried snacks a fighting chance!

¢ Preheating is an important step! Wait for the Add Food message to appear before
adding food to the air fryer basket.

¢ When baking muffins, buns, quiche, and other treats, cover your oven-satfe baking dish
to prevent the top from overcooking.

¢ For coated food, like onion rings or deep-fried pickles, use an egg wash with
breadcrumbs rather than liquid-based batters to make sure that batter sticks
to the food.

¢ Spray food items with cooking oil before adding seasoning to get the seasoning to
stick well.

¢ For super crispy fries, soak your fresh-cut potato sticks in ice water for 15 minutes,
then pat them dry and spray them lightly with oil before cooking.

e Patting dry moist food items before cooking to prevents excess steam and splatter
and gives you crispier results.

e Airfrying can cause oil and fat to drip from foods. To prevent excess smoke, carefully
remove and drain the air fryer basket as needed.

Check out the cooking timetables, download the Instant Pot app, or visit our recipe site
for fun, easy-to-follow recipes.

A CAUTION
To avoid the risk of fire, property damage and personal injury, DO NOT spray

cooking oil into the cooking chamber

A CAUTION
When cooking meat, always use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal
temperature reaches a safe minimum temperature. Refer to the USDA’s
