Use this chart and a food thermometer
to ensure that meat, poultry, seafood,
and other cooked foods reach a safe
minimum internal temperature.
*For maximum food safety, the
U.S. Department of Agriculture
recommends 165° F for all poultry;
160° F for ground beef, lamb, and
pork; and 145° F, with a 3-minute
resting period, for all other types
of beef, lamb, and pork. Also review
the USDA Food Safety Standards.
• Foods that are smaller in size usually require
a slightly shorter cooking time than larger ones.
• Large sizes or quantities of food may require a
longer cooking time than smaller sizes or quantities.
• Flipping or turning food halfway through the
cooking process ensures that the food is
evenly cooked.
• Adding a bit of vegetable oil to fresh potatoes
is suggested for a crispier result. When adding oil,
do so just before cooking and add only a small
amount onto the potato.
• Snacks normally cooked in an oven can also
be cooked in the appliance.
• Use premade dough to prepare filled snacks
quickly and easily. Premade dough also requires
a shorter cooking time than homemade dough.
• A baking tin or oven dish can be placed on
the Air Fry Rack inside the appliance when cooking
foods such as cakes or quiches. Using a tin or dish
is also recommended when cooking fragile or filled
foods.
