Many people find it easier to cook with Fahrenheit temperatures rather than Celsius. If you recently purchased a Dreo air fryer, chances are it is preset to Celsius. Changing the unit from Celsius to Fahrenheit is simple and only takes a few steps.
Air fryers like the Dreo have made cooking much more convenient in recent years. They use rapid hot air circulation to cook food similar to deep frying, but in a much healthier way using little to no oil. This makes them great for cooking fried favorites like chicken, fries, and more, without all the extra calories from oil.
When getting started with your new Dreo air fryer, one of the first things you’ll want to do is make sure the temperature unit is set to your preference. The good news is it only takes a few button presses to change between Celsius and Fahrenheit on the Dreo models.
In this article, we’ll walk through the step-by-step instructions to change your Dreo air fryer from Celsius to Fahrenheit. We’ll also provide some tips on converting temperatures and discuss why you may want to use Fahrenheit over Celsius for air frying. Let’s get started!
Steps to Change Dreo Air Fryer from Celsius to Fahrenheit
Changing your Dreo air fryer unit from Celsius to Fahrenheit only takes a few simple steps. Here is the process:
1. Turn On the Dreo Air Fryer
The first step is to simply turn on your Dreo air fryer. Plug it into an outlet and press the Power button to turn it on. The digital display will light up.
2. Press and Hold the Temperature Button
Once powered on, press and hold the Temp button on the control panel. Hold this button down for approximately 5 seconds.
3. Unit Will Switch from °C to °F
After holding for 5 seconds, the temperature unit displayed will switch from Celsius (°C) to Fahrenheit (°F). The change happens instantly as soon as you’ve held the button down.
4. Set Desired Temperature in Fahrenheit
With your unit now set to Fahrenheit, you can go ahead and set your desired cooking temperature as normal, but using Fahrenheit units instead.
For example, if a recipe calls for baking at 400°F, you would just press the temp UP arrow until the display reads 400°F.
5. Start Cooking!
That’s it! With just those few simple steps, your Dreo air fryer is now ready to cook using Fahrenheit temperatures. Go ahead and start air frying your favorite foods.
The process to switch back to Celsius is the same – just press and hold the Temp button again for 5 seconds. The unit will switch back to displaying Celsius.
Tips for Converting Between Celsius and Fahrenheit
When changing between temperature units, it helps to have a basic understanding of how to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, and vice versa.
Here are some tips:
– To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply the Celsius temperature by 1.8 (or 9/5) and add 32.
– To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature and multiply the result by 0.5556 (or 5/9).
– For common baking and air frying temperatures, keep these approximate conversions in mind:
| Celsius | Fahrenheit |
|---|---|
| 100°C | 212°F |
| 150°C | 300°F |
| 180°C | 350°F |
| 200°C | 400°F |
| 220°C | 430°F |
– There are also many easy Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion calculators online that you can use.
Knowing some simple approximations can help when converting back and forth between units. With practice, you’ll get the hang of converting temperatures in your head.
Why Use Fahrenheit for Air Frying?
You may be wondering why you would want to use Fahrenheit at all instead of the default Celsius. Here are some reasons why cooking in Fahrenheit can be beneficial:
– If you live in the United States, you are likely more accustomed to Fahrenheit temperatures when cooking. Celsius may feel foreign.
– Most U.S. recipes use Fahrenheit, so it’s easier to follow recipe steps without converting.
– Small temperature differences matter more in Fahrenheit. For example, 10 degrees F is a bigger change than 10 degrees C. This allows more precise control.
– The higher Fahrenheit numbers can provide more resolution on appliance displays. 180 vs. 185°F is easier to discern than 80 vs. 85°C.
– Traditional cooking references like meat temperatures and baking markers are in Fahrenheit. For example, baking at 350°F or cooking chicken to 165°F.
– Can help avoid over or undercooking if you are used to Fahrenheit temperatures for certain foods.
While personal preference plays a big role, many people find air frying easier and more intuitive in Fahrenheit. The good news is your Dreo air fryer makes it easy to switch back and forth as needed.
Tips for Cooking with a Dreo Air Fryer
Here are some additional tips for cooking with your Dreo air fryer using Fahrenheit temperatures:
– When air frying, use a lower temp and longer cook time for crispier results. Avoid going over 400°F.
– Always preheat for 5 minutes before cooking anything. This allows the air to fully heat up.
– Flip or shake foods halfway during cooking for even browning and crisping.
– Brush a thin layer of oil on foods to promote browning and crispness during air frying.
– Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperatures, especially for chicken (165°F is safe).
– Adjust cook times and temperatures as needed based on your model, amount of food, and personal taste.
– Let foods rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking before eating for best texture.
Get creative with your favorite fried foods, appetizers, vegetables and more. Your Dreo air fryer can cook just about anything once you get the hang of the ideal times and temps.
Conclusion
Changing your new Dreo air fryer from Celsius to Fahrenheit only takes a few seconds. Simply turn on the air fryer, press and hold the Temp button for 5 seconds, and the unit will switch over to Fahrenheit. Use the same process to convert back to Celsius if desired.
Setting your desired Fahrenheit cooking temperature is as easy as pressing the UP or DOWN arrows. Keep some common Celsius to Fahrenheit conversions in mind, or use an online calculator, for easy reference.
Many people find cooking in Fahrenheit easier, especially when following American recipes. But the choice is yours – the Dreo makes it easy to switch back and forth.
Now that you know how to change to Fahrenheit, it’s time to start air frying! Follow our tips above for getting the best results. Your Dreo will have you frying up crispy, delicious favorites in no time.
