Healthier Alternative to the Oil Fryer
Around 3 years ago, an innovative appliance, the air fryer, appeared on the market.
It is a healthier alternative to prepare our food than in the oil fryer.
Today there are many brands in the market with different capacities that fit better to our needs and budget.
Its popularity is because you can prepare crunchy and golden foods, without using oil.
When using them, you are not using the frying process, since they work more like convection ovens that cook the food with heat that circulates through high power fans. It is the air created by these fans that keeps the food dry so that they have a crispy exterior and a tender interior.
Expert advice on using the air fryer
- One of the main mistakes made when using the air fryer is to use the same temperature that is used in the oil fryer.
- However, the hot air that circulates in the air fryer makes the cooking temperature more consistent. Therefore the temperature that the recipe recommends to prepare at 30 °F must be reduced.
- The air fryer, like an oven, should be pre-heated for at least 5 minutes before starting the cooking of the food.
- When you are cooking the food in the air fryer, mix it with one or two teaspoons of oil. This procedure is not necessary for those foods that already have fat.
- When cooking foods that have been previously prepared, it is advisable to spray the baskets with cooking spray, putting a layer of oil on top so that they remain crisp and golden.
- Frozen food does not need to be oiled previously.
- When marinated foods are cooked you have to remove the sauce liquids before, to avoid excess smoke.
- Do not overfill the basket so that the air can circulate well.
