Start up
We proceed to unpack the device and its various components, which come well packaged and protected, and we free them from stickers and protections for transport.

Operation of the Cecofry Neon 5000

Habitually, Air fryers are called oil-free fryers, because they allow you to cook without it, or using a minimal amount; Some fattier foods (such as hamburgers or salmon) can be made without adding oil, while in other cases it is advisable to add a small amount.
To add the oil, it is convenient to do so using a silicone brush, which allows us to easily impregnate food with a soft layer, or use a dispenser spray, to spread small droplets throughout the food.
To make classic French fries, it is advisable to previously cut them into pieces of the same size and soak them in water for at least half an hour, to remove the starch; Then dry them well and lightly coat them with oil to achieve a golden and crispy finish.
The capacity of the device is 5 liters, so you can cook for 3-5 people.
The Cecofry Neon 5000 offers a viewing window, which allows you to see how our preparation is going without having to open the drawer, as happens in many air fryers, which in addition to greater comfort, prevents heat loss, saving energy and obtaining better cooking.
