Most store bought items that have a bake option to simulate frying (fries, tater tots, breaded fish, chicken tenders, strips, patties, etc.) all have a small amount of oil already to help them crisp up when you bake them in the oven instead of deep frying. Those types of items do not really need to have any oil added at all and generally come out great as they are. For other types of items, like say you cut home made fries, it's better to add a small amount of oil. You don't submerge it in oil like a deep fryer or even sit it in a pool of oil. Just add a little coating / sprinkling to the outside of the food. What I find best for this is using olive oil in an oil spritzer bottle. They can be found at many favorite housewares or retailers on line. Put oil in, pump a few times, and you've got a fine mist aerosol of oil to lightly spray food. Cooking spray works too but can add unwanted flavors or chemicals to your food. Uncoated meats on their own don't require any added oil.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There is mention of using a small amount of oil in some of the recipes provided. I think you can drizzle it on the food, the basket has holes to allow air flow so it wouldn't hold oil. I haven't found need for oil, everything I made tasted good without.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.no, you just spray some oil on your meat and that's all you need.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, there is a basket that fits into the box-try-thingy. Food never touched the oil.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The air fryer uses minimal oil for low-fat cooking
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have made lots of item in it and I have never used any oil in it
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No you dont i wont recommend doing that, just brush the meats or the food with oil.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You put oil on the food like " seasoning". I spray on them. You don't put oil in the basket because the basket is not solid.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You put a slight amount of oil in the basket/receptacle to give things that oil sheen and taste. Maybe a teaspoon. maybe 1 1/2. The booklet that comes tells you about the different foods and their recommendations. I cooked fish filets from a frozen box (think fisherman in yellow) and used no oil. They still came out great!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I use a teaspoon and things come out great.
