Initial Heating Settings

First HeatingHot-air cooking200°C / 10min

After 5 minutes, pause the timer and swap the items’ positions from top to bottom. Remove any items that have started to burn. For items that are still cold or hard in the center but haven’t burned, resume the timer for the remaining time. Remove any items that are hot and soft all the way through.

Instructions for preheating, mid-cooking checks, and how to check for doneness are included in the preparation instructions.

No knife, parboiling, or marinating is required. Remove from the freezer just before cooking, and keep the food frozen until right before cooking.

Check Before Cooking
  • Start with the unit and basket cooled to room temperature, without preheating. In accordance with the instruction manual, p. 4 (“Do not heat the unit when the basket is empty”), do not perform the approximately 3-minute preheating described on p. 10. Since you are starting with a cold unit, follow the note in the English section of the same user manual (which states to add 3 minutes to the cooking time when starting from a cold state; PDF p. 29) and add 3 minutes to the time selected from the Japanese table to set the initial cooking time.
  • Use store-bought shoestring potatoes that have been pre-coated in oil and are suitable for cooking in an oven or air fryer. The thickness should be 8mm or less. Do not substitute them with thick-cut, breaded, or raw potatoes. Be sure to check the cooking instructions specified on the product packaging.
  • Cook the entire amount listed in the ingredients section in a single batch. Ensure the food is spread out in the basket without overlapping and that it does not exceed the MAX line. If it does not fit, do not start the cooking process; instead, refer to the official instructions for your specific model to select a method that suits the quantity and arrangement of food you have on hand. Do not adjust the cooking time based on weight or volume ratios.
  • Stay beside the air fryer during cooking and keep the intake and exhaust vents clear. If there is smoke, a burning smell or anything abnormal, stop heating and discontinue use according to the manual.

    Prepare the cooled unit

    Make sure the unit and basket have cooled to room temperature. Do not preheat the unit, as you should never heat it when it contains no food.

  3. 03

    Spread them out so they don't overlap

    Spread the potatoes in a single layer in the basket. Do not line the basket with paper or foil, and do not block the ventilation holes. Do not begin cooking if the entire quantity does not fit; instead, check the product’s cooking instructions or the official guidelines for the same model number to determine the appropriate amount and arrangement.

    Place them in a single layer without overlapping. The shape of the basket varies by model.

    Cook, turning and rearranging partway through

    Start with the initial heating setting. After the specified time has elapsed, reset the timer to 0, remove the basket pan, and place it on a trivet. Turn and rearrange the fries and remove any that have started to burn. Of the pieces that are still cold or hard in the center but haven’t burned, return only those that are unburned, and set the timer for the remaining time after subtracting the actual heating time.

    Check to see if it's hot all the way to the center

    Stop heating, remove several of the thickest fries, and split them with a fork on a plate. Check that they are hot and soft throughout, without cold or hard centers. Do not judge doneness by surface color alone. If they are not ready, follow the doneness guidance below.

    Sprinkle with salt and serve.

    Once you’ve checked that the center is cooked through, transfer it to a clean plate and sprinkle with 0.5g of salt if needed. Do not add salt if the food is already salted. Leave the lid off and eat once it reaches a safe eating temperature.

Check the results

Remove several thick pieces, cut them open, and check that they are hot and tender all the way to the center, with no cold or hard centers. Do not judge based on surface color alone. If the center is cold or hard, do not serve it; instead, check the cooking instructions for the product to confirm the proper procedure for the same model, quantity, and thickness. If no appropriate method is available, do not repeatedly add time without a basis, and do not eat it.

Things You Can Verify Without Consulting Anyone →

If you get stuck along the way

Do you thaw frozen fries before adding them?

Add the fries while frozen. Rinsing, soaking and microwave thawing are unnecessary. Do not use these settings for fries with large clumps of ice or fries that have thawed and stuck together.

Should I add some oil?

Lightly coat the oil-processed frozen fries with 3g of rice bran oil. Avoid pools of oil. This recipe is not a no-added-oil or fat-free recipe.

How many minutes and at what temperature can I make it?

Select your appliance model and use its listed initial heating settings. Do not assume the fries are done when the initial time ends; check the center during cooking and at the end.

What if the fries are soggy or unevenly browned?

Check for any overlapping pieces or ice chunks, and rotate the potatoes and flip them over halfway through cooking. Once done, transfer them immediately to a plate; do not cover them while hot to prevent them from steaming. Do not simply extend the cooking time while leaving a large batch in the air fryer.

How the Recipes Were Created and Sources Consulted
Standards verified in official documents
For the frozen julienned potatoes listed in the Japanese table: 150〜700g, 200℃, 7〜16 minutes.
Independently designed details and unverified points
200g is chosen within the Japanese table's range. Because cooking starts from a cold unit without preheating, the first setting is 10 minutes: the bottom of the range, 7 minutes, plus 3 minutes, following the note in the English section of the same manual (PDF p.29). The oil and salt and the check at 5 minutes are Crisp's own design. The amounts and times in the English table of the same PDF are not used instead.
