Six habits that fix most problems
PreheatRun it empty for 3 to 5 minutes before the food goes in.
Single layerLeave space between pieces. Crowding steams instead of crisping.
Shake or flip halfwaySmall items get a shake, big pieces get one flip.
Light oilA spritz, not a pour. Frozen pre-fried food needs none.
Check earlyStart checking 2 to 3 minutes before the low end of the range.
Pat it drySurface moisture is the enemy of a crisp crust.
