Wash the cut chips twice in a bowl of water before cooking to remove any excess starch. It is then essential to dry them thoroughly before cooking in a clean, absorbent tea towel and finally patted dry with kitchen paper. If you are cooking frozen chips you do not need to add any oil as these already contain oil and could make the chips soggy. If using the 2 in1 feature (bowl + tray) after the food is cooked on the tray, cook the chips for a further 2-5 minutes after you've removed the tray to make them crispier.
There are many possible reasons: • You may not have used the right variety of potatoes. • The potatoes were insufficiently washed and dried prior to cooking and still contain too much starch. • The chips are too thick. Cut the chips thinner. • You have not used enough oil. Increase the amount of oil. • The filter may be obstructed. Clean the filter. (ActiFry models only)
The size of the chip affects how crunchy or soft it is. The thinner the chips, the more crunchy they will be and conversely, thicker chips will be softer inside. Depending on your taste preferences, you may vary the cooking time and the cut of your chips: thin: 8 x 8 mm/Standard: 10 x 10 mm/Thick: 13 x 13 mm.
For best results, wash the whole potatoes and then sliced potatoes in plenty of water until it runs clear. This allows you to remove as much starch as possible to prevent the chips from sticking together. Dry them thoroughly using a dry, absorbent kitchen towel. The chips should be completely dry before cooking.
You can vary your pleasures and use different oils! Standard oils: olive, rapeseed*, grape seed, corn, peanut, sunflower, soybean* Flavoured oils: aromatic herbs, chilli, garlic, lemon... Special oils: hazelnut*, sesame*, safflower*, almond*, avocado*, argan*... We advise against using walnut oil, which results in a rancid taste after cooking. (* cooking oil according to manufacturer).
Spread evenly across the basket allowing hot air to circulate evenly. For larger batches, cook in multiple smaller batches to ensure consistent results.
All cooking times are a guide as results may vary. With air fryer cooking you are using a smaller cooking area, and it does not take as long to cook. We would suggest reducing the cooking times and temperature.
Before first use, clean all accessories in hot water using a non-abrasive sponge. Run your Easy Fry empty using the "Manual" mode at 200°C for 45 minutes (without any accessories inside) to eliminate any manufacturing residue and new smell.
Once cooled, use a damp sponge or cloth to clean the inside of the appliance and heating element. It is recommended to clean the removable parts by hand with hot soapy water and non-abrasive sponge.
Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents, scouring sponges or abrasive pads. Do not use any special metal cleaning agents. Never immerse or run the appliance under water.
For more stubborn stains, removable parts can be left to soak in hot soapy water before cleaning with a sponge (scouring powder and scouring pads are not recommended).
To remove lingering smells from the basket after washing with soap and water, rub the cookware with a cut lemon or rinse it with a mixture of water and lemon juice, then rinse thoroughly with water.
You have probably salted your food during the cooking process. Don't salt your food before the end of cooking to avoid scratching. For models using the tray, and to preserve its qualities for longer, do not use any metal utensils.
