What exactly is an air fryer? The air fryer is https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmgprod.s3.amazonaws.com

essentially a countertop convection oven and it doesn’t

actually fry your food. Although, keep in mind that
there’s a difference between baking and air-frying. The
small appliance was patented by Philips Electronics
Company and claims to simulate the results of deep-
frying food with nothing more than hot air and little to
no oil. Over the last few years, this gadget has surged in
popularity. There are all kinds of things you can air-fry
from chicken wings and homemade french fries, to
roasted vegetables, and even fresh-baked cookies.
An air fryer works by blowing and circulating
hot air over your meal, converting little amounts of
moisture into mist, using a heating element and a fan.

the device. The extra-hot cooking chamber allows dry

in the crispy quality that comes from a deep fryer bath.

Cooking in an air fryer saves time and is simple to clean.
Although most types don't require oil to operate,
using cooking spray or coating your food with a
teaspoon or two of oil before placing it in the basket will
improve the texture and flavor of your air-fried foods.
While it is possible to enjoy air-fried food without using
any oil, the beauty of this device is that it only requires a
small bit of it.
Each teaspoon of oil contains only 40 calories,
about 120 calories per tablespoon. The small amount of
oil you do use helps to brown and caramelize everything,
resulting in extra crispy and delectable results.
Compared to deep-fried items, the amount of oil you'll
use in the air fryer is practically none, resulting in far
fewer calories and saturated fat than traditional fried
foods. In an air fryer, you can cook almost everything
that you could in an oven or a deep fryer, which is a lot!
Air-fried chicken breasts and thighs, as well as
French fries, chicken wings, and air-fried chicken
nuggets and tenders, are all options. These countertop
appliances aren't just for recreating crispy classic fried
foods; they can also be used to roast or bake without
turning on the oven. One may be used to quickly cook
fish fillets, such as salmon, in a matter of minutes.
In conclusion, if you have your heart set on a
healthier version of those indulgent frozen foods, keep
dreaming, but if you're looking for an easy-to-clean
method of roasting real food without using oil, the Air
Fryer just might be the device for you!
