Air Frying Technique

1. Please consult the Air Frying Chart and/or follow package directions for suggested TIME and TEMP.

2. Always pat food dry before cooking to encourage browning and avoid excess smoke.

3. To assure even cooking/browning, ALWAYS open the basket drawer halfway through the cook time and check, turn or shake foods in the frying basket. Some recipes may call for brush or spray oil halfway through cooking. Adjust TIME or TEMP if needed.

CAUTION: Always use oven mitts when handling the hot air fryer basket.

CAUTION: Make sure the clear basket lock is in the locked position when shaking foods

for the Air Convection Fryer. To avoid damage to persons or personal property, do not press the basket release button while shaking the frying basket.

CAUTION: Hot oil can collect at the base of the drawer. To avoid risk of burns or personal

injury, or to avoid oil from contaminating air fried foods, always unlock and remove the frying basket from the drawer before emptying. NEVER turn the drawer upside down with the frying basket attached.

4. Allow cooked foods to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the drawer from the machine and place on a at, heat resistant surface. Then remove frying basket from the drawer.

5. Shake air fried foods out onto serving area. Promptly return the frying basket to the drawer and lock into place. Continue air frying subsequent batches, if any.

6. To avoid excess smoke, when cooking naturally high fat foods, such as bacon, chicken wings or sausages, it may be necessary to empty fat from the frying basket drawer between batches.

7. For crispier results, air fry small batches of freshly breaded foods. Create more surface area by cutting food into smaller pieces. Press breading onto food to help it adhere. Refrigerate breaded foods for at least 30 minutes before frying.

SO-316523_90088_BELLA pro 8QT AF_IM R1.indd 15 2019-08-23 11:36 AM

Page 18

8. Arrange breaded food in frying basket so that food is not touching to allow air ow on all surfaces.

9. Spray oils work best. Oil is distributed evenly and less oil is needed. Canola, olive, avocado, coconut, grapeseed, peanut, or vegetable oil work well.

10. Unplug the Air Convection Fryer when not in use.

A Note on Air Frying Pre-Packaged Frozen Foods

1. Where microwave ovens often produce hot, mushy results and toaster ovens take forever, air convection frying assures reasonably fast, crispy, delicious results!

2. As a rule, depending on the food and amount to be cooked, suggested cook TIMES may have to be reduced slightly. Always check food halfway through cooking time to determine nal cook TIME and TEMP.

3. Always check cooking progress after TIME has expired.

Air Frying Chart (Includes Preset Food Menu Items)

WARNING! Times are estimated and based on average sizes and weights.

ALWAYS USE A MEAT THERMOMETER TO ENSURE THAT MEAT, POULTRY AND FISH ARE COOKED THOROUGHLY BEFORE SERVING.

NOTE: 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.

NOTE: Unless food is pre-packaged and pre-oiled, for browned and crispy results, all foods should be lightly oiled before air frying.

Recipes

Lemon Za’atar Chicken with Eggplant & Zucchini

Za’atar is popular Middle Eastern spice mixture dating back to ancient times. We have enveloped the chicken with this aromatic blend of thyme, sumac, wild oregano and toasted sesame seeds. Fresh lemon adds moist citrus notes. The Air Fryer is the perfect tool for preparing moist and luscious, roasted chicken, the frying basket allows drippings (liquid avor) to permeate the vegetables and stream down into the easy-to-clean drawer.

Serves 6.

• 1 (3 1/2 - 4 1/2 lb) whole chicken

• 1 lemon, zested and halved

• 1 teaspoon salt, divided

1. Remove the chicken giblets.

2. Rinse the chicken inside and out. Trim all excess fat and use paper towels to pat dry. Work your hands inside the chicken skin to loosen from the meat. Use a sharp paring knife to puncture all fat pockets. Make 3 to 4 slits along the chicken’s backbone to relieve extra fat.

3. Liberally coat the chicken inside and out with za’atar. Generously rub za’atar under the chicken skin. Squeeze each lemon half over the chicken; squeeze again and place inside the chicken cavity.

4. Tuck the wing tips under the body of the chicken. To ensure crispy skin, refrigerate the chicken uncovered for 30 minutes before air frying.

5. Trim the eggplant and zucchini, cut into discs, then use to cover the bottom of the Air Fryer basket. Lay the chicken, breast side down, onto the bed of vegetables.

6. Use food MENU preset for CHICKEN. When the CHICKEN icon ( press the START (
