Is An Air Fryer Worth Buying And How Do I Choose To Buy One?

There seems to be no shortage of companies selling air fryers on the market, many of which specialize in up to a dozen different product categories. There is a bewildering array of products ranging from ordinary air fryers to various types of air fryers utilizing the same principle.

To be honest, as a kitchen novice, although I have seen the various air fryer publicity, but already been in a wait-and-see state, I already have professional cookware and am not good at cooking, an air fryer can bring what practical help for my life?

But one can only last so long ...... I finally couldn't resist buying one. I've been cooking with it for a while now - making family dinners, baked goods, fast food, etc. - and here's what I think of it so far.

Is An Air Fryer Worth Buying?

It depends on your actual needs and how you like to cook. The great thing about air fryers is that you can make a wide variety of dishes with minimal equipment and cooking techniques. You can cook everything from roasted vegetables and chicken to perfectly heated frozen foods in small batches, all in less time than it takes to heat a large oven.

What Exactly Is An Air Fryer?

So how does an air fryer work, it's quite simple. An air fryer, a countertop kitchen appliance, utilizes convection to circulate hot air around food. Most models come in 2-quart to 6-quart capacities and range in price from $70 to $200, depending on the model.

Does the Air Fryer Make Food Healthier?

One claim about the air fryer is that it uses only a fraction of the oil used in traditional preparation methods to fry the same food while still having a similar flavor and texture. As a result, it's often touted as a fried but “healthier” way to cook. 

While I've found this to be true through practice, I still need to use about the same amount of oil as I do when baking in the oven to make them taste comparable!

In short: If you buy an air fryer you are buying it to use less oil and still maintain great flavor. Then I highly recommend you to get one, because it will greatly improve your happiness and bring you more cooking pleasure.

What Are The Best Foods To Prepare In An Air Fryer?

I can officially confirm that the air fryer is great for cooking foods like chicken nuggets, French fries, and tater tots that have been fried and frozen.

Baked Fries

Small cubes of sweet potatoes are lovely in an air fryer with just a sprinkle of olive oil she's right. I've tried making fries in the air fryer many times, and you can bake golden brown fries with ketchup in as little as 15 minutes without fussing with heating the whole oven, not unlike the flavor of a fast food restaurant.

Crispy Chickpeas

Want to turn a can of chickpeas into the most delicious happy hour snack? I've found that the air fryer crisps up these beans better than the oven. The convection air bakes each chickpea to crispy perfection.

Quick Donuts

I'm starting to get the idea of making donuts in an air fryer. There is a recipe for apple cider donuts that is very tasty - for me, it's the one that changed my opinion of the air fryer the most. A quick batch of doughnuts made with pre-made crescent roll dough, and they were just as delicious as fried doughnuts without the mess, changed my mind about it completely!

Roasting a whole chicken

With no need to preheat the oven and a chicken that comes out looking like the ideal roasted chicken - with crispy skin and tender meat - I think whole chickens are a great addition to the air fryer.

Chicken Wings, Assorted Chili And Other Snacks

Snacks are a great addition to the air fryer. Instead of heating the entire oven to bake a small pound of shishito peppers for a snack, frying shishito peppers in the air fryer achieves the same result with much less effort. Overall wings and roasted nuts made in the air fryer were a hit in my house.

Brownies And Bagels

The air fryer is both a countertop oven and a deep fryer, and I've had the pleasure of using it to bake foods like cookies, as well as create recipes, I've even tried my hand at making individual pizzas and dinner rolls in the air fryer.

So, Do You Need An Air Fryer?

The short answer is yes. Considering the size of the air fryer - it doesn't take up a lot of space although the capacity is relatively limited, all the functions you can do with it as a single device and the fact that it reduces the use of cooking oil to a certain extent and greatly stimulates my interest in food preparation, I'll be exploring the possibilities of food preparation with it more actively in the future.
