Get rid of your oil: hot air fryers in use
The flavour and crunchiness of fried foods are something very special. But too frequent consumption of fried foods can cause problems for the body in the long term. But that doesn't mean that fries and sausages need to be given up completely. Airfryers manage to imitate the taste experience and consistency of food fried in oil, simply with hot air. This guide explains how this works and what additional advantages frying without fat has.
Why frying without oil is a benefit?
Fried food is popular all over the world. But food that has been cooked in a lot of oil can have some disadvantages. High fat content makes fried foods higher in calories.
Advantages
Compared to the classic deep fryer and the convection oven, the Air Fryer has some real advantages:
- There is no need to dispose of old frying fat/oil.
- Cleaning the air fryer is less complicated.
- Air fryers are versatile – even pizza, cakes or bread can be prepared in them.
- The preparation is quick and easy.
- Especially for small quantities of fried food, the hot air fryer is a fast and energy-friendly alternative to the oven.
Tips for buying an Air Fryer
There is a large variety of Air Fryers avaliable to buy from retailers and they differ in terms of capacity, appliance size, cost and different settings and features. When considering which Air Fryer to purchase you should consider the following:
- The handle and outer shell should be made of heat-resistant material.
- Extras such as a stirrer, a rotisserie or grill grate are practical for using the fryer without fat for many different dishes.
- The capacity size - for example a single household needs a smaller appliance than a family of four.
- For easy cleaning, the removable parts of the air fryer should be dishwasher safe.
