Illustrations are AI-generated images. They are not photographs of actual cooking or evidence that the food has been cooked through.
After 3 minutes (with 2 minutes remaining on the display), pull out the basket to pause the cycle and place it on a trivet. Flip the 4 pieces over once, swapping their front and back positions. Remove any pieces where the coating has started to burn; do not return them to the basket, and set them aside without eating them. Return the remaining pieces to the crisper plate, place the basket back into the unit, and resume the remaining cooking time. If you notice smoke, an unusual odor, or an error message, stop operation immediately, unplug the unit, and follow the instructions in the user manual.
Instructions for preheating, mid-cooking checks, and how to check for doneness are included in the preparation instructions.
Reheat the shrimp tempura—which has been thoroughly cooked through after purchase or preparation—from a chilled state according to the product label. This is not the traditional tempura method of coating raw shrimp in batter and frying it.
Check Before Cooking
Attach the crisper plate to the basket and preheat the air fryer without adding any food. Set the preheat temperature to 200℃. Wait until the automatically set 4-minute preheat cycle ends and “End” appears on the display before adding food (User Manual, p. 12). Do not add food or paper during preheating.
Use 4 pieces of pre-cooked shrimp tempura (a total of 120g) that have been heated all the way through after purchase or cooking, with a maximum batter-covered body thickness of 18mm or less. Store in the refrigerator according to the product label; use only items that are within their use-by date and free of sauce or moisture. Do not substitute with raw shrimp, uncooked tempura batter, frozen products, mixed platters, or kakiage.
Do not use additional oil. Do not line the crisper plate with aluminum foil, parchment paper, or a heat-resistant container; place the food directly on the crisper plate. Do not use items where the coating has peeled off or is wet.
Arrange the shrimp tempura in a single layer so they do not overlap or touch each other. Make sure the tails are not close to the heater and that they do not block the airflow through the crisper plate. Do not start heating unless all 4 pieces fit. Since the official guide does not specify the number or weight of the shrimp, do not calculate cooking time proportionally based on the number or weight.
Do not leave the area while cooking, and do not block the air intake or exhaust vents. Do not use the appliance if batter residue has fallen inside. If you notice smoke, a burning smell, or any other abnormalities, stop heating and discontinue use in accordance with the instruction manual.
Instructions
01
Check the refrigeration status and quantity
Check the storage instructions and use-by date on the product label. Weigh 4 refrigerated, fully cooked shrimp tempura pieces and confirm that they total 120g and that each body is no more than 18mm thick including the coating. Do not use pieces with sauce, moisture, or substantially detached coating. Do not add oil.
Weigh 4 refrigerated, pre-cooked shrimp tempura sticks and check the weight and thickness listed in the ingredients section.Discuss these instructions
02
Preheat to 200℃
Properly attach the crisper plate to the basket, then return the basket to the unit without adding any food. Press the “Preheat” button, use the temperature control button to lower the temperature from 205℃ to 200℃, and tap ▶‖ to start preheating (the timer automatically sets to 4 minutes). Wait until “End” appears on the display, and have a trivet ready to place the hot basket on.
Arrange them in a single layer without using a sheet
Without using aluminum foil, parchment paper, or heat-resistant containers, place 4 shrimp tempura directly on the crisper plate. Do not stack them; space them so they do not touch each other, and keep the tails away from the heater. Make sure the crisper plate’s ventilation openings are not blocked.

04
To reheat, set to 200℃ for 5 minutes.
Once preheating is complete, place the basket on the trivet, arrange the shrimp tempura inside, and return it to the air fryer. Select “Reheat” and verify that the display shows 200℃ for 5 minutes. If not, use the temperature and time adjustment buttons to set it to 200℃ for 5 minutes, then tap ▶‖ to start. After 3 minutes have passed (with 2 minutes remaining on the display), pull out the basket, flip 4 pieces over, and swap their front and back positions. For mid-cooking checks, follow the guidelines in the “Heating Stage” section; return only the pieces that go back in to the crisper plate, reinsert the basket, and resume the remaining time.
Once the set cooking time has elapsed, crack open the 2 thickest pieces of battered shrimp on a clean plate. Serve only if the shrimp is hot all the way through with no cold spots, the surface of the batter is dry, and there are no burnt or hard spots. If the center is still cold, remove the entire batch and proceed to the final check. Do not consider the dish finished based on surface color alone.
Break open the 2 thickest pieces and check that the shrimp is hot to the center with no cold spots.Discuss these instructions
06
Serve without a lid
Transfer the shrimp tempura that meets the readiness criteria to a clean plate. Do not cover with a lid or plastic wrap to prevent the batter from becoming soggy, and eat while still warm. If using tempura dipping sauce, serve it in a separate bowl after reheating the shrimp tempura.
If the food does not meet the criteria for completion, stop cooking and do not eat it. Do not extend the cooking time based on guesswork. Verify the actual cooking time, whether the appliance was preheated, the quantity and thickness of the food, how long it had been out of the refrigerator, and the condition of the center and the coating.
Break open the 2 thickest of the 4 shrimp tempura pieces, including their coating, on a clean plate. Check that the shrimp is hot all the way to the center with no cold spots, and that the surface of the coating is dry with no burnt or hard areas. Do not eat any piece with a cold center; proceed to the final check.
Can I use it on raw shrimp or tempura before frying?
This method cannot be used. It is intended only for 4 pieces of shrimp tempura that have been thoroughly cooked through and then refrigerated after purchase or preparation. Raw shrimp, uncooked batter, and frozen products require different cooking instructions.
Is it okay to line the bottom with aluminum foil or parchment paper?
Do not line the pan for this recipe. Covering the holes in the crisper plate hinders the circulation of hot air, resulting in uneven drying and heating of the coating. Do not place the food in a heat-resistant container; instead, arrange it in a single layer directly on the crisper plate.
Will adding more oil make the batter crispier?
Do not add any additional oil. Reheat the food using the residual oil remaining in the batter from the initial frying; do not use a pool of oil or cooking spray. Do not use this method if the food is covered in sauce or water.
Can I heat up the vegetable tempura and kakiage at the same time?
Do not reheat them together. Since the thickness, moisture content, and amount of batter vary, we’ll limit this to 4 shrimp tempura for now. We will not adjust the quantity or time for mixed platters, kakiage, chikuwa tempura, etc.
Can I put it in right after taking it out of the fridge?
Refrigerate the product according to the package instructions, then check the quantity and the condition of the batter before adding it. Do not use products that have passed their expiration date, have been left at room temperature for a long time, or have been frozen.
How the Recipes Were Created and Sources Consulted
Standards verified in official documents
The product used is the TurboBlaze 6.0L Combo (CAF-DC601-KJPR). For pre-made tempura, use the Reheat mode at 200℃ for 4〜6 minutes. This guide does not specify the number of pieces, weight, thickness, initial state, or preheating requirements. The specifications and preheating/reheating tables in the Combo’s user manual are the same as those for the CAF-DC601-KJP, but there is no explicit statement that the units are identical. The CAF-DC601-KJP user manual recommends preheating before adding food (p. 12; 175〜230℃ for 4 minutes automatically) and sets the default reheating mode to 200℃ for 5 minutes (p. 14).
Independently designed details and unverified points
This recipe calls for reheating 4 refrigerated, pre-cooked shrimp tempura sticks—totaling 120g and 18mm thick or less including the batter—by preheating the air fryer to 200℃, then reheating at 200℃ for 5 minutes (the initial reheating setting within the official range), and flipping them after 3 minutes. The official guide does not specify whether the 4〜6 minutes refers to the time after preheating; Crisp.’s method involves preheating the air fryer as recommended on page 12 of the user manual before adding the food. Do not heat beyond the specified range. The criteria for completion—including the number of pieces, weight, thickness, refrigerated state, flipping during cooking, and checking by breaking one open—are based on Crisp.’s proprietary design and have not been verified on the actual machine.
