    Air Fryer Tips

    • picture of crux air fryer
    • When first starting out with your new Crux air fryer or any air fryer, it is a good practice to read through the manufacture’s manual entirely. You’ll find specific features that’s applicable to the air fryer you are using. 
    • Similar to an oven, it is best to always preheat the air fryer for 2-3 minutes before cooking.
    • Don’t overfill your crux air fryer basket. Each air fryer differs in its basket size. Cook foods in batches for best results. 
    • Check foods while cooking (periodically) by opening the air fryer basket. By checking the foods, this will not disturb the cooking time. The cooking time usually resume once you close the basket.
