  • Common Mistakes

    Using Too Much Oil

    A light spray is all you need. Too much oil makes food soggy.

    Not Preheating

    Cold start = longer cooking and less crispy results.

    Overcrowding

    Air can't circulate. Food steams instead of crisps.

    Opening Too Often

    Temperature drops. Let it cook without checking.
