Place the fries in the air fryer and then set the fryer to cook as per the suggested times/temperature in the Settings Table.

Remove the fries from the bowl with your fingers or kitchen utensil so that the excess oil stays behind in the bowl. Shaking smaller food halfway during the cooking time optimizes the end result and can help prevent unevenly fried food. What this means in practice is that to get the same effect, crisping and browning, as another fryer, you'll likely need to use some cooking oil. Adding this via a spray or basting method increases the fat content in your food, something air frying traditionally tends to reduce. Do not touch the drawer immediately after use, as it gets very hot. Allow it plenty of time to cool. Only hold the drawer by the handle. Little to no oil is required, all while keeping the same great taste, so you lose the fat not the flavour
