Start up
Once unpacked and freed from transport protection, the bucket and grid are washed with soap and water, using a soft sponge, and let them dry (or do so with kitchen paper), before putting them back.
The grate is easily removed by grabbing it through the central hole and fits well in the bottom of the bucket., thanks to some rubber bumpers that it has, which help it hold well while avoiding scratches.
Thanks to its quite compact dimensions (more than other devices of similar capacity), we can easily locate the Cecofry Advance 5000 Black on any countertop or flat and stable surface, leaving at least 10 centimeters of free space around it and above, so that the hot air released when it is working can dissipate.

Next, it can be plugged in and put into operation, something that is simple and very intuitive. To turn it on, press the button with the corresponding symbol, to the left of the screen, and to turn it off, press and hold it for 3 seconds.
Operation of the Cecofry Advance 5000 Black
The operation of an air fryer is similar to that of a convection oven. At the top it has the resistance that generates heat, and inside it moves hot air at high speed to cook food.
The small amount of oil you need We can pour it with a spoon, with an oil spray, purchased or refillable, or spread it with a brush (some people prefer the spray, because then it is already spread in micro droplets).
The oil mixes with the air current that is generated inside the device, ensuring that the food is cooked evenly and tasty, leaving it cooked both on the outside and on the inside., and achieving (depending on the program used, or the temperature and time used) a crispy finish on the outside and juicy on the inside.
When placing the food on the rack, we can do it directly or—just as we do in an oven—use greaseproof paper.; Depending on the type of preparation, it will be good for us to make less mess, or to remove the preparation easily.
We can cut the one that comes prepared for the oven, or purchase it directly in sizes designed for air fryers, which also come with holes; There are also silicone mats for air fryers, which can be very useful in some cases.
When you turn on the Cecofry Advance 5000 Black, by default it will be set to 180º and 15 minutes. With the arrows on the left we can modify the temperature and with the arrows on the right, the time. The temperature ranges in 5 degrees, from 5 to 80º, and the time, from 200 minute to 1.

This air fryer too It has various predefined menus, in which the device itself will set the time and temperature, depending on what is going to be prepared.
To access them, press the button with the three lines, and will alternately change each one of them (fries, bacon, chicken, seafood, meat, vegetables, biscuits and fish).
Although they are quite well calibrated, if we wish, We can also modify the time and temperature suggested by the device, to adapt the finish of the recipe to our tastes.; For example, we may be making a thicker or thinner piece of meat, there are those who like it less done and there are those who prefer it more cooked, etc.
As with other air fryers, During cooking we can open the drawer to see how it is going, and once we close it, it will continue where it was (another option in this sense is the mini oven type air fryers, with a glass that allows you to see it directly, like the Bake&Fry Touch Steel from Cecotec itself, or the Proscenic T31).
In many recipes it is advisable to preheat the fryer so that when introducing food, it is done in a warm environment. In some cases, it will also be necessary to remove them halfway through cooking, or turn them over, so that they are cooked well all over. The Cecofry Advance 5000 Black includes a practical recipe book, with various preparations and tips.
When cooking foods that release fat (chicken, bacon, hamburgers...), you can pour a little water into the bottom of the bucket; In this way, as the fat drips, it will fall on the water and prevent it from sticking and making more smoke.
The Cecofry Advance 5000 Black includes, as a detail, some silicone molds in which we can prepare, in a simple way, wonderful muffins and cup cakes.
You may also find it interesting to get some additional accessories, such as a cake mold (there are some 20 centimeters in diameter, which fit perfectly), grills for making Moorish skewers, for toasting bread, etc., there is a great variety (on Amazon there are various kits that include various accessories).
Maintenance
The Cecofry Advance 5000 Black is very easy to maintain. The almost oil-free kitchen stains less than other ways of preparing food, but also, thanks to its removable grid, we can wash it easily, unlike other air fryers where you have to handle the entire bucket.
Both the basket and the rack are dishwasher safe, but it may be advisable to wash by hand., with a soft sponge, to take maximum care of the non-stick coating.
