Misting a bit of vegetable oil to fresh potatoes is suggested for a crispier result. When adding a little oil, do so just before cooking. Snacks that normally cooked in an oven can also be cooked in the Master Culinary Air Fryer Oven. Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made dough also requires a shorter cooking time than homemade dough. Place a baking tin or oven dish in the Master Culinary Air Fryer Oven when baking a cake or quiche. A tin or dish is also suggested when cooking fragile or filled foods. You can use the Master Culinary Air Fryer Oven to reheat various types of food. Simply set the temperature to 300 F (150 C) for up to 10 minutes. 12 Master Culinary Model: A-1700
