5 Airfryer Hacks You (Probably) Didn’t Know Yet

Honestly? Who actually reads the manual of their airfryer? Turn it on, pick a temperature, start the timer, done. You don’t really need a manual for that... But that means you might miss out on some of the most useful features. Because your airfryer can do a lot more than you think. In this blog, we list 5 clever hacks to help you get the maximum out of your SnackTastic®. From defrosting to keeping food warm, from dual baskets to custom settings. Let’s go!

Did you know you can also defrost with your airfryer?

It’s quarter to six, you’re hungry, and… the meat is still in the freezer. Don’t panic. Thanks to your airfryer’s defrost mode, you no longer have to fumble with a microwave or a bowl of lukewarm water. Just throw your piece of salmon, chicken, or veggies into the basket, pick the right setting, and voilà. Your food is perfectly defrosted in just a few minutes.

You can save your own presets!

Every foodie has their favorites: that one temperature and cooking time for your perfect grilled cheese, veggie burger, or crispy tofu. And you know what? You don’t have to enter them every single time! With the personalized features on your FRITEL SnackTastic®, you can create your own presets. One press of a button and your airfryer knows exactly what you want.

🎥 Here’s how to set up your personalized functions

Keep food warm until everyone is ready…

Your dish is perfectly cooked, but your company is ‘just 5 more minutes’ busy scrolling, calling, or walking the dog. No problem. With the Keep Warm function, your dish stays nice and warm without drying out. You don’t have to reheat anything or stress about food turning cold. Just relax and wait until everyone is at the table.

When should you shake?

Know the feeling? You start your airfryer, sit down with a coffee… and completely forget to shake midway. Result: half brown, half pale. Luckily, your device gives you an automatic shake reminder: a handy beep that says ‘hey, give me a little shake!’ That way, everything cooks evenly. Handy and foolproof.

Cook twice as smart

If you have an ST8480 at home, then you know: double basket = double convenience. But did you also know that those baskets work super smart together? With SYNC Finish, two dishes with different cooking times are ready at the same time. And with SYNC Baskets you just copy the settings from basket 1 to basket 2. Copy-paste, but in the kitchen. No soggy veggies in one basket and burnt snacks in the other. Just perfectly timed, every single time.
