Your favourite kitchen appliance? Without hesitation, an air fryer.
I became extremely impressed when my friend told me how an air fryer magically crisped her French fries and chicken nuggets. Yeah, that was the hooking point!
Now, I use an air fryer for preparing my fast food items. The only negative point is this feels like total guesswork when it’s about deciding the time and temperature.
So, I did some research and collected everyone’s favourite air-fryer recipes and decoded how long these take to be prepared through your trusty air fryer.
Well, I also discovered there are some dos and don’t when you’re working with an air fryer. So, check out our list of 12 mistakes below that almost everyone commits with an air fryer.
- Keep in mind that most food items need to be flipped over halfway through cooking time. The reason is air fryers cook food by pushing the hot air towards the food; also, flipping of the food items fries them evenly and does not let overcooking or burning happen.
- We know an air fryer is like a basket for you, but always try to fry your food products in a single layer that allows the food to be cooked completely even and crispy.
- Are you air frying a crowd of food articles! Try prepping the food in pieces for a speedy cook time when you’re air frying large food quantities or big food items.
- Plus, don’t forget to pre-heat your device. This might only take 5 minutes to make your air fryer heated, but the heating creates a big difference for your cooking time, especially during special nights.
- Ensure your air fryer has five inches of space on all sides. Your air fryer depends on a constant flow of air to work right, so give this appliance its space.
- Don’t become crazy with the oil. Most air fryers only require one or two teaspoons of oil. Any more oil, and you won’t get your desired results.
- Some food items are too light for your air fryer. And, don’t forget, an air fryer’s moving air means that light foods could float easily and harmfully end up becoming caught in the heating coil.
- Make sure that you clean your air fryer after using it. You only have to apply hot water with a bit of dishwashing liquid for cleaning the appliance. Let the basket of your air fryer soak as long as this needs, so you don’t have much scrubbing to do. If you detect a lot of baked particles on your device, try using a scrub to get the device cleaned up in half the time.
- Don’t use food products that are too wet. An air fryer is an expert in rapidly crisping already breaded or crunchy food items. This kitchen appliance can’t be applied for wet and limp veggies.
- Don’t be a fool by reflecting that the same rules of “done-ness” can’t be applied with your air fryer. Hmm, did you find the pink meat still raw! Then, do check the internal temperature of your device with a food thermometer to ensure that you’re not directed for a cooking disaster.
- You should practice food distancing in your air fryer. Because if you overcrowd the basket of your fryer, your food will not have much-exposed surface area. The portion of your food where the hot air and oil is directed is where your cooking occurs, so this would be best to spread things and cook them in batches within your air fryer.
- Too much oil is bad, but too little is bad too! When you feel any doubt, give everything a light spritz of your cooking oil. That’s perfect to make your food more crispy and browned.
