KNOW YOUR DIGITAL OIL-LESS FRYER

Prepare your favorite foods and snacks in a quick, healthy, and easy way with your new Digital Oil-Less Fryer. This Oil-less Fryer combines heat with high-speed air circulation to cook your ingredients from all sides, simultaneously! It also allows you to prepare a variety of tasty dishes without the addition of excess oils or fats to most ingredients. This Oil-less Fryer features:

• Digital control of the cooking time and temperature.
• A digital control panel with 8 preset menu options.
• A temperature control range up to 400°F (200°C)
• A timer range from 1 to 60 minutes, which is equipped with an auto shut-off feature. Once the timer reaches “0”, the unit will turn itself off.
• Capacity of 2 lbs.

Other great advantages provided by your Oil-less Fryer include:

• Fast cooking, with little to no preheating required.
• Quick and easy clean-up: the non-stick coated parts are conveniently sized to fit in the dishwasher.
• Hassle-free frying—no spatters, no mess, and no oil smell!
• Versatility—with its frying, baking, grilling, and roasting capacities, this unit serves as a great cooking tool for a busy kitchen.
• No assembly required—very easy and safe to use!

Important: For golden, crispier results, similar to those obtained in a deep fryer, it is important to remember that leaner foods (fries, vegetables, chicken, fish, etc.) are best coated with just a tablespoon of oil. Simply add the ingredients in a bowl, add a tablespoon of oil, and toss until well coated. You can also air-fry any food designed for being baked in the oven. The cooking times will likely need to be adjusted because the Oil-less Fryer will bake food much faster than a traditional oven or toaster oven.
