Air Fryer Foods

Talk to me about the new phase of Air Fryers


I am the type of person who does not belong in the kitchen

Which is the best one to get, and can you please explain to me the steps on how to use it ;)


Cooking for dummies :)

Thanks

Re: Air Fryer Foods

It's very hit or miss.

I use a little spray oil and put the ingredients in the basket, push it in and wait a bit.

Mine has buttons for chicken, other meats, etc.

Chicken takes about 20-30 mins depending on thickness. Halfway through turn it over.

I've made kale chips and a few other things as well.

I think the name throws people off because I don't eat a lot of fried food....BUT I use it instead of baking and that saves time and increases the juiciness/crispiness.

Pros:
- keeps food very moist with little or no oil
- cooks much faster than an oven
-clean up is easy. Not dishwasher but mine washes up very easily.

Cons:
-smallish basket makes food for a party difficult. I made wings for another couple and just did a few batches.
-takes up space of course

Overall, I like it. But I like kitchen gadgets and I'm always trying to find better ways to cook healthy/low oils.

I find it hit or miss too.

I have a Phillips one with temperature. I'm trying to perfect a french fry. I tried zucchini chips the other day and they were just ok... Got panko breadcrumbs so I will try again.

I did air fry chicken breasts the other night with whole wheat breadcrumbs and they were pretty good - tasted close to a chicken finger.
