The Air Fryer is a unique kitchen gadget designed to fry food in a special chamber using super-heated air. It uses the so-called Maillard effect - a chemical reaction that gives fried food that distinctive flavor. Simply put, thanks to the hot air, your foods get that crispy exterior and a moist interior and does not taste like the fat.
Why use an Air Fryer? I'm asked this question time and time again, so my answer is always the same: it all boils down to versatility, health, and speed. It means that you can "set it and forget it" until it is done. Unlike most cooking methods, there's no need to keep an eye on it. You can pick the ingredients, turn the machine on and walk away - no worries about overcooked or burned food. Another great benefit of using an Air Fryer is that unlike the heat in your oven or on a stovetop, the heat in the cooking chamber is constant and it allows your food to cook evenly. Plus, it is an energy-efficient and space-saving solution.
Air fryers operate by cooking food with the flow of hot air. This is what makes the foods you put into it so crunchy when they come out!
