What is an Air Fryer?
The air fryer is originally an amped-up countertop convection oven. It does not fry your food. (Although, keep in mind that there’s a difference between air-frying and baking.) Patented by Philips Electronics Company, the small appliance claims to mimic the results of deep-frying with nothing more than hot air and a minimal amount of oil.
How does the air fryer work?
The heating mechanism and fan are located on the top of an air fryer. You put the food in a fryer-style basket, and when you turn it on, super-heated air blows all around the food. This rapid circulation makes the food crispy—much like deep-frying, but with less amount of oil
How to use the air fryer?
Step-1
Place your food in the basket. The basket may carry 2 to 10 quarts; depending on the size of your air fryer, the basket may hold 2 to 10 quarts. In most cases, you can want to add 1 or 2 teaspoons of oil to help the food get nice and crispy. You can use foil to make cleanup more manageable in an air fryer.
Step-2
Set the time and temperature. Air fryer cooking times and temperatures usually range from 5 to 25 minutes at 350°F to 400°F, depending on the food you are cooking.
Step-3
Let the food cook. To help it crisp up evenly, you may need to flip or turn the food halfway through the cooking period. It’s critical to clean your air fryer once you’ve finished cooking.
Air-fried foods have a similar flavor and texture to deep-fried foods. On the outside, it’s crispy, but within, it’s delicious. However, depending on what you’re cooking, you will only need a minimal quantity of oil, if any at all
What can you cook in an air fryer?
Despite the fact that many of the best air-fryer recipes are typically deep-fried foods, you can also use this mechanism to roast vegetables, cook meat, and bake cookies.
Is air-fried food healthy?
In some cases, air frying is often healthier than frying in oil. It decreases calories by 70% to 80% and has less fat. This cooking method may help relieve some of the other negative consequences of oil frying because it uses less oil. Frozen french fries prepared in the air fryer contain between 4 and 6 grams of fat versus their deep-fried counterparts, which have a whopping 17 grams per serving.
