Something Not Working Right Now?

Start here if you’re mid-cook and something’s gone wrong:

🌑️
Temperature Guide
Most air fryer cooking happens between 160Β°C and 220Β°C. Delicate foods like fish need lower heat (160–175Β°C) while frozen foods and pastries do best at 190–200Β°C.
⏱️
Cooking Time Charts
Use our time charts as a starting point and adjust based on your specific model. Air fryers vary β€” always check internal temperature for meat.
πŸ’§
When to Use Oil
A light spray or brush of oil gives the best results. Use 1–2 tsp for most foods. Avoid aerosol sprays that can damage the non-stick coating.
πŸ”„
Flipping & Shaking
Shake the basket or flip food halfway through cooking for even browning. This is especially important for fries, nuggets and small pieces.
πŸ“¦
Preheating
Preheat your air fryer for 3–5 minutes before cooking. This ensures even, consistent results β€” especially important for baked goods.
🧺
Batch Cooking
Avoid overcrowding the basket. A single layer gives the best crispiness. Cook in batches for large quantities and keep warm at 120Β°C.
