Taking French fries as an example, they should be brushed with scallion oil, pepper and salt before putting into the oven, and then baked for 15 to 20 minutes. French fries absorb a lot of oil. If you don’t use oil or use too little oil when cooking, the texture and taste of the cooked fries will not be good.

Please be reminded that this is not good. In addition, the internal material of the oil-free air fryer cannot be cleaned with a steel brush. It is better to use a small brush or a bristle brush.

Method 2: Spray oil or cover the frying net with baking paper before use

Before cooking the meat, preheat the pan and spray some cooking oil in it, or cover it with baking paper to prevent the meat from sticking. However, please note that covering the food with baking paper may affect the cooking speed of the food, so the cooking time and temperature must be increased, and the number of turning the food over can be increased.
