Things to Remember about Your Air Fryer

Add Oil to Your Condiments

Many think that it is not necessary to put oil in the air fryer. But it is not at all true. Although we get to eat healthier food in a fryer, we must remember we need oil to fry food even in the air fryer. Therefore, in your cooking recipe, you have to add some oil – olive or vegetable. You can use melted butter as well.

Reheat Food

Air fryers do not just cook, they also reheat your food and make them crispy again. Let us think. We all love our pizzas crispy. And it really is crispy when we eat freshly baked. But when we eat the leftovers the next day by using the microwave oven, it becomes soggy and we absolutely hate that. That is when we should use our air fryers to reheat food. Air fryers are masters at making your leftover food crispy again.

Use the Full Recipe Potential of Your Air Fryer

Air Fryer is versatile and can cook a lot of recipes. Some cookbooks even mention over 500 recipes that can be cooked in an Air Fryer. So, do not just use your precious air fryer once in a blue moon. Unleash the full power of your air fryer.

Only Put Correct Quantity

The best way to cook is to cook the correct quantity of condiments. There is a limit to how much food you can stuff inside the air fryer. Usually, it comes with a ‘Liter’ sign – for example, 5L or 6L. This is what is the safe quantity for your fryer. Even if there is space available to put more food to cook, you should never do that. If you do, your food will not be cooked properly as heat will not reach inside every piece of the food. So you have to keep to the quantity advised.

Always Check Your Foods

You need to turn your food during your cooking process. Food can only cook on one side, if you do not turn them sides, one side will be overcooked or burned while the other side will remain uncooked.

Follow Safety Precaution

• Always Plug out After Cooking.
• Place It on A flat Surface.
• Do Not Put on A Stove.
