Grill
The oil matters
For less smoke,
we recommend using oils with a high smoke point— like canola, coconut, avocado, vegetable, or grapeseed oil— instead of olive oil.
Shake, shake, shake
When air fry crisping, check food and shake crisper basket frequently for even browning.
Remove food at desired level of brownness.

Check your food temp
The Foodi Grill cooks quickly, so monitor doneness with a food thermometer. Internal food temperature continues to rise as food rests, so remove it 5°F before target temperature is reached.
Secure your food
Secure light food with toothpicks so it won’t be blown around by the fan.
