Instruction manual
1
Do not rush immediately after buying the device to stick raw foods into the air grill, as you need to know some very important rules. Before the first operation of this household appliance, it must be warmed up in the "idle" mode, without loaded products. The optimal time for this is 10-15 minutes. For models with electronic control, you need to select the "Warm-up" mode or its analogues, and if you are the owner of a mechanical device, just turn it on for a specified period of time.

Another plus of the air grill is that any dishes are suitable for it, but not wooden or plastic. The first will absorb fat and juices, which are then very difficult to completely clean, the second, even if it is food plastic, can add extraneous tastes and smells to food products. The main difference between this technique from the same microwave oven is the absence of emitted waves in it, so iron containers are suitable for aerogrill. Ceramic and glassware is also optimal.

Do not forget that the grill is truly multifunctional - it can bake, cook, stew, fry, which is why it is an excellent replacement for many other appliances and utensils. One important thing is to correctly determine the desired temperature, speed and time of cooking.

If you want to cook a small amount of food for one or two people, do not put a lot of products in the air grill, as otherwise you will have to wait a lot of time. For example, 1 liter of soup in the device is prepared in just half an hour, and a half liter saucepan - respectively three times as much.

The air grill cooks baked chicken perfectly. To do this, you just need to coat the bird with the desired seasonings or your favorite marinade, then place it on the upper grill, set the temperature to 180 degrees Celsius, choose a high speed device and cook the chicken for 40-45 minutes, after which you will get very tasty and juicy dish.
