Doneness
The cubes are browned on the outside and pink at the center around 130 °F (54 °C). Crowded, gray bites mean they steamed — spread them thinner and shake the basket.
Oil & seasoning
Toss the cubes with a little oil so they sear in the short cook time.
Season with: kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, butter, parsley.
Watch out for
- Cut even 1-inch cubes so they cook at the same rate.
- Spread them in a single layer so they sear instead of steaming.
- Shake the basket halfway for even browning.
- Toss with garlic butter off the heat for a finishing glaze.
