Tips & Tricks

PREHE AT

The unit preheats quickly, so prep all

ingredients before preheating. Time

will start counting down immediately

after the unit is preheated. To add

time simply turn the dial.

For sheet pan meals, cut ingredients

to the same size for optimal results.

-30%

TIME

Food cooks faster with Air Roast

so for traditional oven recipes, lower

the cook time and temperature.

Place ingredients in 1 layer when

using the basket for air frying

and dehydrating.

+

-2 5°F

TEMP

For greasy or battered items in the air

fry basket, place the pan underneath

it on the wire rack.

For marinades containing sugar,

honey, or other sweeteners, brush

onto proteins halfway through

broiling to avoid burning.

Master sheet pan

meal making

Cook a family-sized, full breakfast, lunch,

or dinner all in one pan in as little as 20 minutes.

Enjoy quick cooking and easy cleanup.

Spray air fry basket with

nonstick cooking spray

to minimize sticking.

4 Tips & Tricks

rotate air fry basket 180°

or flip ingredients for

crispier results.
