How to Air Fry in a Samsung Oven

If you’re ready to transform your cooking routine with healthier, crispier meals, the Samsung oven with Air Fry mode might be your new favorite kitchen companion. The air fry oven feature lets you cook everything from French fries to chicken wings with less oil while still achieving that golden, crispy finish. This guide will walk you through how to use the Air Fry mode—let’s get started!

What Is Air Fry Mode?

Samsung’s Air Fry mode takes your favorite fried dishes and makes them healthier without compromising on flavor or crunch. Instead of submerging food in oil, Samsung ranges use Air Fry to circulate hot air rapidly, crisping your food with minimal or no added oil. 

For best results, Samsung ovens with Air Fry mode, like the Samsung Smart Slide-In Gas Range with Air Fry (Model: NX60A6711SS), come with a specially designed Air Fry tray. This perforated tray allows hot air to circulate evenly around your food. Plus, you don’t have to preheat your oven to use this feature!

→ Benefits of Air Frying

If you already have a countertop air fryer or a Samsung oven with Air Fry, you likely already know that there are some major benefits to air frying rather than deep frying your food. Here are just a few of the benefits of cooking with Air Fry settings.

• Healthy. Air frying is a much healthier cooking method than deep frying and helps to avoid the added fat and cholesterol that come with frying in oil.

• Less Cleanup. Air frying is also considerably less messy than cleaning up oil from deep frying.

• Quick. Compared to cooking in a conventional oven, air frying is significantly faster.

• Even Cooking. Because ovens and ranges with Air Fry use a fan to circulate heat in the oven cavity, food will cook more evenly than in a conventional oven.

• Crisper Results. Air frying is perfect for foods that you want to crisp. French fries, onion rings, chicken wings, and even pizzas are all great Samsung air fryer oven recipes to cook in an Air Fry setting.

How to Air Fry in a Samsung Oven

Learning how to use air fry on a Samsung oven is straightforward. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Set Up Your Oven
Place the Air Fry tray on Rack Position 3 (the third rack from the bottom) for the best possible airflow. Below the tray, place a baking sheet to catch any drippings or juices, which helps reduce smoke during cooking. Adding a bit of water to the baking sheet can further minimize smoke.

2. Choose Your Settings
Turn the dial knob to select Air Fry mode. There’s no need to preheat the oven for this setting, saving you time. Adjust the temperature according to the food you’re preparing—typical settings range between 350°F and 500°F, with a default of 425°F. For guidance, consult your Samsung air fry oven manual Air Fry cooking chart.

3. Optional: Set Timers
If desired, you can set the Delay Start to begin cooking at a later time or the Cook Time to ensure the oven stops cooking automatically. Push the knob to confirm your selections.

4. Start Cooking
Once everything is set, press START to begin air frying. Watch as the oven works its magic, crisping your food to perfection.

5. Finish and Serve
When cooking is complete, press OFF, carefully remove the Air Fry tray, and enjoy your meal!

Tip: Did you know? You can adjust and recalibrate the temperature setting if your oven's temperature seems off. Follow the manual instructions your oven came with, as every oven can be different

Cleaning Your Samsung Air Fry Tray

Keeping your Air Fry tray clean ensures consistent results and extends its lifespan. Here’s how to clean it properly:

• Handwashing: Soak the tray in lukewarm, soapy water to loosen any stuck-on food. Use a plastic scouring pad to remove debris gently.

• Dishwasher-Safe: For added convenience, the Air Fry tray is dishwasher-safe. Place it on the top rack and run a normal cycle.

• Important Note: Never use the Self Clean cycle on your oven to clean the Air Fry tray. The high heat can damage its coating.

If your oven didn’t come with an Air Fry tray or needs a replacement, you can purchase one directly from Van Vreede's.

Tips for Air Fry Success

• Avoid Overcrowding: Spread your food in a single layer on the Air Fry tray to ensure even cooking. Overcrowding can lead to uneven results.

• Experiment with Recipes: The Air Fry mode isn’t just for French fries. Try breaded chicken, roasted vegetables, or even desserts like air-fried donuts.

• Check Cooking Times: Use the Samsung Air Fry Cooking Guide or consult recipes tailored for Air Fry ovens to get accurate Samsung air fryer oven cooking times and temperatures.
