Microwave - Air Fry Cooking

The Air Fry microwave feature, first introduced on our countertop convection model JES1109RR, is designed to produce foods with a crispier exterior than traditional oven cooking.

 

How Air Fry feature works:

This feature uses heating elements to rapidly raise the temperature of the air inside the oven. A fan circulates the heated air throughout the oven, over and around food. Because the heated air is kept constantly moving, not permitting a layer of cooler air to develop around the food, some foods cook faster than in regular oven cooking.

 

How to use the Air Fry feature:

There are two options when using Air Fry: Manual Air Fry and Menu Air Fry.

  • Manual Air Fry Instructions (recommended for poultry wings/legs and frozen convenience foods):
    1. Press the Air Fry button once. A fan icon will start flashing.
    2. Enter the desired temperature using convenience / numeric pad.
      • Accepts temperatures of 300, 325, 350, 375, and 425°F.
    3. Enter desired time.
    4. Press START
    5. Flip food when prompted. Once done, close the door and press START.
  • Menu Air Fry Instructions (recommended for roasting meats & poultry, and cooking poultry (breasts & thighs) and seafood):
    1. Press the Air Fry button twice. Both a fan icon and a menu icon (a box with lines) will start flashing.
    2. Use the Air Fry button to cycle or the number pad to select the Menu Item.

Cookware:

Metal pans are recommended when using the Air Fry feature.

  • Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and pies because they absorb heat and produce crisper crust.
  • Glass or Glass-Ceramic casserole or baking dishes are best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to the cleanability of glass.
