TIPS AND HINTS

TOAST

Use this function to toast fresh and frozen items, including bread,
bagels, waffles, pastry items, etc.

• If toast is lighter than you like after the cycle is complete, turn the

Toast Dial to Light and toast bread for additional time

• For best results and more evenly toasted items:

º If toasting two slices, center them in the middle of the Wire Rack.
º Four slices should be evenly spaced – two in front, two in back.
º Bread items should not overlap.
º Thicker sliced bread items may require more time.
º One slice will take less time to toast. Adjust shade accordingly.
º Put bagels on the Wire Rack with cut sides facing up for even

toasting

AIRFRY

TIP: For best results, use the provided AirFryer Basket fitted into the Baking Pan.

This function is used to AirFry meals as a healthy alternative to deep frying in oil.
A high fan speed and multiple heating elements circulate hot air to cook a variety
of meals that can be a healthy and delicious alternative to traditional frying.

• Many foods that can be fried can be AirFried using significantly less oil.

AirFried foods taste lighter and are less greasy than deep-fried foods.

• AirFrying doesn’t require oil, but a light spray can enhance browning and

crispiness. Use an oil sprayer or a nonstick cooking spray to keep it extra
light. A pastry brush can also be used to evenly coat foods with a little oil.
Alternatively, pour a little oil into a bowl, add food, and toss.

• Most oils can be used for AirFrying. Olive oil is preferred for a richer flavor.

Vegetable, canola or grapeseed oils are recommended for milder flavors.

• An assortment of coatings can be used on AirFried foods. Some examples of
different crumb mixtures include breadcrumbs, seasoned breadcrumbs, panko
breadcrumbs, crushed cornflakes, potato chips, and graham crackers. Various
flours, including gluten-free and other dry meals, like cornmeal, work as well.

• Most foods do not need to be flipped during cooking, but larger items, like
chicken cutlets, should be turned halfway through the cooking cycle to ensure
even cooking and browning.

• When AirFrying large quantities of food that fill the pan, toss food halfway
through the cooking cycle to ensure evenly cooked results and color.

• Use higher temperatures for frozen foods and lower temperatures for
uncooked items.

• Foods will cook more evenly if they are cut into same-size pieces.

• Please note that many foods release water when they cook. When cooking
large quantities for an extended period of time, condensation may build up,
which could leave moisture on your countertop.

BAKE

Baking is recommended for a variety of foods you would normally
prepare in a conventional oven.

NOTE: The Bake function operates with a convection fan. As with all
convection toaster ovens, food may cook faster than in a traditional
toaster oven.

• Cooking times and temperatures may need to be reduced—start

checking foods about 5 to 10 minutes before the end of the suggested
cooking time to avoid overcooking or burning.

• For homemade baked goods, like cakes, breads and muffins, it is

recommended to preheat the oven for 5 minutes when using the
Bake function.

PIZZA

The Pizza function can be used to cook fresh or frozen pizza.

• For fresh pizza, the recommended baking temperature is 450°F.

• Stretch or roll the pizza dough to fit the Baking Pan that has been
sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Toppings can be added before
baking or after initial browning of the pizza dough.

• On occasion, fresh pizza dough may dome, due to the high heat
of the oven.

• For frozen pizza, the recommended baking temperature is 400°F
or follow manufacturer’s instructions.

• Bake frozen pizza using the baking tray or directly on the wire rack
according to manufacturer’s instructions.

• Pizza recipe ideas can be found in this booklet on the Cuisinart web­site.

BROIL

Broiling function can be used for beef, chicken, pork, fish, and more. It
also can be used to top-brown casseroles and gratins.

• Recommended temperature is 450°F. For best results, preheat oven
for 5 minutes.

• For best results, use the provided AirFryer Basket fitted into the
Baking Pan to broil.

• Never use glass oven dishes to broil.

• Be sure to keep an eye on food – items can brown quickly
when broiling.

WARM

Use this function to keep food warm once cooked.

• Add Warm at the end of a cooking function so your dish is held at the
proper serving temperature.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Always unplug the oven from the electrical outlet and allow it to cool
completely before cleaning.

• Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they will damage the finish. Simply
wipe the exterior with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply
nonabrasive cleaners to a cloth, not directly onto the toaster oven,
before cleaning.

• Accessories are not dishwasher safe. These items should be washed
by hand in hot, sudsy water, or with a nylon scouring pad or brush, and
thoroughly rinsed.

• After cooking greasy foods and once your oven has cooled, always
clean top of oven interior. When done on a regular basis, your oven will
perform like new. Removing the grease will help to keep cooking con­sistent, cycle after cycle.

• To clean interior walls, use a damp cloth and a mild liquid soap solu­tion or a spray solution on a sponge. Remove any residue from clean­ers with a clean, damp rag. Never use harsh abrasives or corrosive
products. These could damage the oven surface. Never use steel wool
or scouring pads on the interior of oven.

• To remove crumbs, slide out the Crumb Tray and discard crumbs.
Wipe clean and replace. To remove baked-on grease, soak the tray in
hot, sudsy water or use nonabrasive cleaners. Never operate the oven
without the Crumb Tray in place.

• Any servicing should be performed by an authorized service
representative.

overlaps, toss or ip food halfway through cooking cycle.

Food may need additional cooking time. Make sure to check periodically until food reaches desired
brownness. Do not leave oven unattended.

If you put too much food in the basket, try with smaller batches of food and single layers, rather than
stacking food on top of each other.

The temperature might be too low. Use the Temperature Dial to increase temperature.

Food may need additional cooking time. Make sure to check periodically until food reaches desired
brownness. Do not leave oven unattended.

Cooking time and temperature may need to be reduced – start checking foods about 5 to 10 minutes

Appetizers and Small Bites

Blooming Onion with Chipotle Mayonnaise

Who knew this popular restaurant appetizer was so easy to make?

Makes 1 blooming onion, about 2 to 3 servings

Chipotle Mayonnaise:
½ cup mayonnaise
1 chipotle chile in adobo, finely chopped
¼ teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Blooming Onion:
Nonstick cooking spray
½ cup unbleached, all-purpose flour
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons buttermilk
½ cup panko breadcrumbs
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
Pinch cayenne pepper
1 large, sweet onion, peeled
Olive oil, for spraying

1. Prepare Chipotle Mayonnaise: Put mayonnaise, chipotle and lemon
juice in the work bowl of a mini food processor. Process on High until
completely puréed and homogeneous. Transfer to a serving bowl,
cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

2. Place the AirFryer Basket onto the Baking Pan and coat the basket
with nonstick cooking spray. Reserve.

3. Put the flour into a bowl large enough to dip the onion. Put the egg
and buttermilk into another similar-sized bowl, and the breadcrumbs
and seasonings in a third similar-sized bowl. Reserve.

4. Trim the top of the onion to create a flat surface. Leave the root end
intact. Turn the onion over so the root end faces up, and rest it on its
flat surface.

5. Without piercing the root, cut the onion into 4 wedges. Also without
piercing the root, cut each wedge in half; repeat until wedges are
about ¼ inch thick.

6. Turn the cut onion over and carefully, without breaking the pieces off
the root, separate the layers; the separated onion will resemble a
flower with petals.

7. Dredge the onion in the flour, and gently shake off the excess before
dipping into the egg mixture, and then finally coat each layer evenly
with the panko mixture. Evenly spray the coated onion with olive oil.

8. Put the prepared onion into the basket. Set the temperature to 400°F
and AirFry for 10 minutes. Onion is done when it is crispy and golden
brown in color.

Stuffed Bagel Bites

Everything you love about a schmeared bagel,

all in one yummy package.

Makes 6 stuffed bagel bites

1 pound pizza dough

Scallion Cream Cheese:
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions
Pinch fine sea salt
Pinch freshly ground black pepper

Smoked Salmon Cream Cheese:
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 ounce smoked salmon, chopped

Baking Soda Wash:
1 cup warm water
1 tablespoon baking soda

14

Egg Wash:

1 large egg
1 teaspoon water

1 to 2 tablespoons “everything bagel” spice blend (if this cannot be

found in the store, poppy seeds or untoasted sesame seeds
work well)

1. Bring pizza dough to room temperature (be sure it is covered so it
does not dry out).

2. While pizza dough is resting, choose one of the cream cheese
mixtures to prepare. Each of these mixtures can either be stirred
together in a small bowl, or if a mini food processor/chopper is avail­able, that can be used. If using the mini food processor/chopper to
prepare the scallion cream cheese, first chop the scallions in the pro­cessor and then add the cream cheese, salt and pepper. The smoked
salmon cream cheese can be prepared by first processing the cream
cheese, then adding the salmon in 1-inch pieces and finally pulsing
to combine.

3. Divide the rested dough into 6 pieces. Roll a piece into a small ball
and then stuff with about 1 tablespoon of the filling. Fold the dough
over so it completely covers the filling. Transfer to a lightly floured
surface and cover with plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining dough
pieces.

4. Place a 6-quart saucepan filled with water over high heat and bring
to a boil.

5. While the water is coming to a boil, prepare the baking soda wash by
stirring together the warm water and baking soda together in a small
bowl. Reserve.

6. Carefully slide one filled dough round into the boiling water at a time
flipping each after 1½ minutes. (In most pots, three rounds can be
boiled at one time. You want to be sure not to overcrowd the pot or
the dough will stick together). Boil for 3 minutes total (they should
start to rise to the surface). Allow to drain on a wire cooling rack
while boiling the others

7. Dip each boiled dough round into the baking soda wash and place
on a clean plate. Lightly brush the bites with the egg wash and sprin­kle generously with the everything bagel spice blend. 

8. Lightly coat the AirFryer Basket with cooking spray. Then transfer the
coated bagel bites onto the basket.

9. Put into the oven and set to Bake at 350°F. Bake the bagel bites until
dark and golden, approximately 12 to 15 minutes. When bagels are
finished, transfer to a wire cooling rack.

Healthy Poppers

When the breading is removed from a traditional jalapeño popper,

not only is it healthier but the flavor, and spice, of the jalapeño

really comes to the forefront.

Makes 12 poppers

Nonstick cooking spray
1 to 2 pieces raw bacon
6 jalapeños, halved lengthwise and seeded
4 ounces (½ standard package) cream cheese,

room temperature

2 tablespoons blue cheese (½ teaspoon cheese per popper)

1. Place the AirFryer Basket onto the Baking Pan and coat with non­stick spray. Reserve.

2. Lay the bacon into the basket and put into the AirFryer. AirFry at
400°F until a medium doneness, about 8 to 10 minutes. (While you
only need 1 to 2 pieces for the poppers, you can fit about 8 pieces in
the basket and use the others for other uses, such as breakfast

15

sandwiches or as a topper for a burger.) Cool to room temperature
and then chop.

2. Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Toss to combine. Spread
on AirFryer basket.

3. Stuff the jalapeño halves with the cream cheese. Then top with the
chopped bacon and blue cheese, pressing down so that the bacon/
blue cheese sticks to the cream cheese. Tip: It’s best to assemble
these on a separate plate and then transfer to the AirFryer Basket to
avoid bits falling to the bottom of the pan.

4. Put the assembled poppers into the AirFryer Basket. Put into the
AirFryer and set to Broil at 450°F. Cook for about 5 minutes or until
the cheese is melted and bubbling. Allow to cool for a minute or two
before eating.

Nonstick cooking spray
12 ounces pizza dough, room temperature
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, divided
10 ounces grape tomatoes, about 1 pint, halved

2. While the pizza is baking, toss the halved grape tomatoes together
with the remaining olive oil, crushed garlic clove, and salt.

3. Once the dough is golden, remove from the oven and press the
dough down into the pan. Add the cheese and grape tomatoes
evenly in the center, leaving an even border for the crust.

Eggplant Parm Pizza

Eggplant “fries” up beautifully in the Cuisinart® AirFryer – minimal oil is

Basket. Brush liberally with olive oil and season evenly with salt.

5. Place in the oven. Set to AirFry at 400°F and AirFry until golden

Buttery Dinner Rolls

After your first bite, you will never go back to store-bought rolls again.

Makes 12 rolls

1

/3 cup whole milk, plus 1 tablespoon for brushing

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, (½ stick) plus 1 tablespoon for

brushing and for pan
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1¾ teaspoons active dry yeast
3 tablespoons warm water (105°F–110°F)
2½ cups bread flour
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Nonstick cooking spray
Flake sea salt (optional)

1. In a small saucepan, combine the

and sugar. Warm over low heat until the butter is melted. Remove
from heat and set aside until cooled to room temperature.

2. Dissolve the yeast in the warm water in a large measuring cup. Let

stand 5 minutes, or until mixture is foamy. Put the flour and salt into
the work bowl of a Cuisinart® Food Processor fitted with either the
dough blade or metal chopping blade and process for 10 seconds.
Add the melted butter mixture and egg to the yeast/water mixture.
With the machine running, slowly add the liquids through the feed
tube and process until a dough ball forms. Continue processing for
45 seconds to knead the dough. Shape the dough into a smooth
ball, put it in a clean mixing bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let
rise in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size, 45 to 60
minutes.

3. Spray the Baking Pan with nonstick oil. Punch down the dough and

divide into 12 equal pieces (about 1½ ounces each). Roll into smooth
rounds and arrange in 3 rows of 4 dough balls on the prepared pan.
Cover lightly with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until
nearly doubled, another 30 to 45 minutes max.

1

/3 cup milk, 4 tablespoons butter

4. While the rolls are rising, preheat the AirFryer to 325°F on Bake.

5. Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter and combine with the
remaining tablespoon of milk. Gently brush the tops of the rolls with
the butter/milk mixture. Sprinkle with flake sea salt, if desired.

6. Put the rolls into the oven and bake until the rolls are golden brown
and the internal temperature is about 190°F, about 8 to 10 minutes.

7. Remove rolls from the Baking Pan and allow to cool 10 to 15 minutes
before serving.

in homemade paper cones for the full effect.

Makes 2 to 3 servings (with ½ cup of aioli)

1 pound (about 3 medium) russet potatoes, scrubbed clean
and dried
Aioli:
1 small garlic clove
1 large egg yolk
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
¼ teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
Pinch kosher salt, plus more for frites

Sweet Tr e ats

2. While the potatoes are soaking, prepare the Aioli: Grate the garlic into
the work bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal chopping
blade. Add the egg yolk, lemon juice, mustard, and salt and pulse
to combine. With the machine running, drizzle the oils, very slowly,
through the feed tube so that an emulsion forms. Continue to
process until all the oil has been incorporated. The mixture may be
quite thick. For a thinner, more spreadable consistency, process in
2 or more teaspoons of water at the end. Taste and adjust seasoning
as desired.

3. Drain and rinse potatoes; thoroughly pat dry with paper towels or a
clean dish towel.

4. Place the AirFryer Basket onto the Baking Pan and spray well with
nonstick cooking spray. Put the dried potatoes into the basket. Spray
with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and toss. Spread into an even layer.

5. Put the potatoes into the oven and set to AirFry at 400°F. AirFry,
tossing occasionally, until desired crispness is achieved, about
15 minutes.

6. When French fries are done, transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with
chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately with Aioli for dipping.
