WHAT IS AN AIR FRYER?

An air fryer is a kitchen appliance that uses convection to rapidly circulate hot air around food to cook and crisp it up. It's essentially a mini convection oven that fits perfectly on your countertop.

IS AIR FRIED FOOD HEALTHY?

You'll find air frying recipes require dramatically less (or sometimes no) oil when compared to traditionally fried foods. This makes air frying the healthier option.

WHAT CAN YOU COOK IN AN AIR FRYER?

Basically almost anything you can cook in the oven, you can also cook in the air fryer. My exceptions are stews, casseroles etc but only because my air fryer isn't big enough to fit a large pot.

DO YOU HAVE TO PREHEAT AN AIR FRYER?

You don't always have to preheat an air fryer but I highly recommend it for most recipes. Adding food into a hot basket goes a long way to making it crisp. Preheating also ensures the temperature and air flow are at the right levels to cook your food to crispy goodness.

AIR FRYER TIPS

Times will vary depending on your air fryer model and other variables like the size of your cut of meat. Use the suggested times as a rough guide to get you started.
Always preheat the basket either through a preheat setting or running the air fryer on the temp specified for what you are cooking.
Only use a little oil. You really don't need much.
Don't overload the basket. Fries, tater tots etc can overlap but for meats make sure they are in a single layer.
Shake the basket regularly for even cooking, or if cooking a protein be sure to flip it half way through.
When cooking something for the first time check on it 5 mins before the time specified to see how it's tracking.
You can use oven-safe accessories, like silicone muffin cups, as well as aluminium foil & baking paper (as long as they are weighed down so they don't fly up).
Invest in a meat thermometer - takes out the guess work and will help you ensure meat is cooked prior to carving!
