This appliance is not to be used as a deep fryer. We recommend using good quality oil sprays or your own choice of oil in a mister when you need to spritz your food. You can use any oil: olive, canola, vegetable, or coconut. You can also use the spray in the bottom of the mesh cooking basket before cooking for easy cleanup. Breading Foods For foods that require breading, coat these items in small batches. Press the breading onto the food to ensure that it adheres.

Spritz these items with your oil spray or mister. If breading becomes too dry, pieces may become airborne, causing smoke in the heating element. Steaming Check with your air fryers instruction manual first before steaming. Most air fryers will steam food. Pour cup water or broth into the bottom of your cooking basket. *Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish, or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness.
