Use the crisper plate anytime you want food to come out extra crispy. It's not just for looks.
Here's how it works: The plate elevates the food in the basket. This allows hot air to flow under and all around the food, cooking it more evenly and giving you that crispy texture on all sides. It's great for fries, chicken wings, or anything you want to avoid steaming on the bottom.
Just place the food on the crisper plate, then insert the plate into the basket. Make sure you still arrange food in a single layer for best results.
