Yes, but use the proper breading technique. It is important to coat foods first with flour, then with egg, and then with bread crumbs. Press breading firmly onto the battered ingredients, so crumbs won’t be blown off by the fan.

Occasionally, the fan from the air fryer will blow lightweight foods around. Use wooden cocktail sticks to secure loose lightweight food, like the top slice of bread on a sandwich.

For best results, check progress throughout cooking and remove food when desired level of brownness has been achieved. Remove food immediately after the cook time is complete to avoid overcooking.

Make sure the drawer is fully inserted during cooking. For consistent browning, make sure ingredients are arranged in an even layer on the bottom of the drawer with no overlapping. Shake drawer to toss ingredients for even crispiness. Cook temperature and time can be adjusted at any time during cooking. Simply use the TEMP arrows to adjust the temperature or the TIME arrows to adjust the time.

Use the crisper plate when you want food to come out crispy. The plate elevates the food in the drawer so that air can flow under and around it to cook ingredients evenly.

The drawer will heat up during cooking. Use caution when handling, and place on heat resistant surfaces only.

To stop one zone, first press the zone button then press START/STOP. To stop both zones simply press the START/STOP button.

The countdown timer will pause automatically when you remove the drawers from the unit. Reinsert drawer within 2 minutes to resume cooking or the unit will automatically switch off.

The unit does not need to be pre-heated.
