The Emeril Lagasse Air Fryer is an incredibly versatile kitchen appliance featuring 12 smart programs that can be used to cook a wide variety of foods. Here is a complete guide to each preset cooking setting and how to utilize them.
The Air Fry setting is ideal for cooking crispy fried favorites like french fries, chicken wings, fish fillets and more using little to no oil. It uses superheated air up to 400°F to mimic deep frying. To use, simply set temperature, set time up to 60 minutes, and press start. Shake or flip food halfway through. Misting or brushing a small amount of oil helps promote browning.
The Bake setting is perfect for baking cakes, muffins, cookies, garlic bread and more up to 400°F. Use oven-safe bakeware in the fry basket and adjust rack height as needed. Check a few minutes early and use a toothpick to test doneness when baking.
Roast meats, poultry and vegetables like whole chickens, pork loin, potatoes, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and beyond using the Roast setting. Temperature ranges from 250°F to 450°F. Use a meat thermometer and baste during roasting for moistness and flavor.
Get grill-like searing and charring when you select the Broil setting. It’s great for steaks, chops, seafood, sandwiches and composed dishes. Use high heat up to 450°F and watch closely to prevent burning. Flip food midway through broiling.
Crisp up breads and bagels with the Toast preset. Adjust browning levels and watch thickness. Quickly toast rolls, English muffins, waffles or pancakes for breakfast too.
Bagel mode toasts only one side of the bagel before gently warming the other for the perfect combo of crisp and chewy.
Crisp up homemade or frozen pizza using the Pizza function’s combination of high heat and air circulation. Keep an eye to avoid burning.
Make homemade fruit rolls, veggie chips and jerky with the Dehydrate program. Temperature holds steady at 130°F. Flip and rotate for even drying.
Evenly reheat leftovers, casseroles and plated dinners using the Reheat function. Use lower temps to prevent drying.
Baked goods like cookies, biscotti and scones come out evenly cooked and textured with the Cookies preset. Rotate pans for uniform browning.
Simmer stews, chilis, roasts, pulled pork and more hands-free with the Slow Cook mode. Temperature holds steady at a low 250°F for up to 4 hours.
Keep cooked foods like veggies, fried foods, meats and entrees warm and ready to serve using the Warm setting. Holds temperature at 165°F.
