Doneness tips
How to get it right
- Preheating is optional for this food.
- Use a light coating of oil for browning.
- Arrange in a single layer so hot air can circulate.
- Start checking before the maximum time and finish in short increments.
Troubleshooting
If something goes wrong
- Crowding the basket so hot air cannot move around the food.
- Skipping the early check and letting small pieces overcook.
- Using too much oil, which can make the outside heavy instead of crisp.
