Soggy fries mean you need more oil, better spacing, and likely the Shake Reminder.
- Oil: Add ½ to 1 tablespoon (8-15 mL) of oil to raw potato fries before cooking.
- Don't Overfill: Place smaller batches. Overstuffed baskets lead to undercooked, soggy food.
- Use the Function: Select the French Fries function (default 380°F, 25 min). It auto-enables the Shake Reminder.
- Shake: When the reminder beeps, pull the basket and shake the fries for even cooking and crispiness.
IF THAT DIDN'T WORK: Increase the temperature or time manually. For any stacked or dense foods (like nuggets), shaking is mandatory. Spraying a small amount of oil on other foods can also boost crispiness.
HEADS UP: Never fill the basket with oil or liquid. This is a hot air fryer, not a deep fryer.
