Questions

My Instant air fryer is not listed. What do I choose?

Pick "Not listed" and set its type, size and power yourself: they are on the label underneath or in the manual. The time follows them.

Does a Instant air fryer need different times?

Only as much as any air fryer. What changes the time is the type, the size of the basket and the power, not the name on it, and the calculator adjusts for all three.

What does a dual basket change?

Each basket cooks in the same time as a single one, but you cook two batches at once, so a bigger amount is ready sooner.

Do I need to preheat the air fryer?

These times assume a preheated air fryer, which takes about 3 to 5 minutes. From cold, choose "No, from cold" and 3 minutes are added.
