5 airfryer hacks you (probably) didn’t know yet

Be honest. Do you really read your airfryer manual? Turn it on, pick a temperature, set the timer, done. That’s all you need, right? But you might be missing out on some of the handiest features. Your airfryer can do a lot more than you think! Here are 5 clever hacks to get the most out of your SnackTastic®. From defrosting to warming and syncing baskets, let’s go!

Cooking Tips & Tricks

Did you know you can defrost with your airfryer?

It’s six o’clock, you're hungry… and the meat is still frozen. No panic. Thanks to the defrost mode, you don’t need a microwave or lukewarm water. Just place your piece of salmon, chicken or vegetables in the basket, pick the right setting, and voilà — perfectly defrosted in minutes.

Save your own settings!

Every foodie has their favorites: the perfect temp and time for croques, veggie burgers or crispy tofu. With FRITEL’s personalized settings on the SnackTastic®, you can save these. No need to re-enter them every time. Just press the right button and your airfryer gets the message.

Keep warm until everyone is ready

Your meal is ready, but your family is “five more minutes” into scrolling or walking the dog. No stress. The Keep Warm function keeps your dish warm without drying it out. No reheating or cold plates. Just chill until everyone’s at the table.

When should you shake?

Did you know? If you forget to shake halfway, maybe you got coffee or distracted... you’ll end up with half-burnt fries. But no worries! The shake reminder gives a handy beep to say: “Hey, give it a little shake!” Everything turns out golden and crispy. Foolproof.

Cook smarter with dual baskets

Got an ST8480? Double basket = double ease. But did you know they can work in sync? With SYNC Finish, two dishes with different cook times finish at the same moment. And SYNC Baskets lets you copy basket 1’s settings to basket 2. Copy-paste in the kitchen. No soggy veggies in one basket and burnt snacks in the other. Perfect timing, every time.
