Air fryer - My 2nd best buy in Pandemic
What Air fryer can do?
How Air fryer works? Why Air fryer is good? Air fryer or traditional oven?
If you have all these
questions and more.....read on!
An air-fryer is a
portable counter-top kitchen appliance. It has heating mechanism with a fan that helps rush hot air around the
found kept in a deep basket. Hot air surrounds food as it is submerged in hot
oil in a deep fryer. This rapid circulation makes the food crisp, very
much like deep frying. Air fryers use little to no oil to get the same
effect as traditional deep frying.
Is it
better than a convection oven?
I would
say both are different appliances. An Oven uses heat generated by an element
and slowly radiates it over food. Air fryer on the other hand uses rapid
air technology and is comparatively faster. Small size helps circulate the
heat more evenly, crisping up your food without hot spots.
Reasons
to consider when deciding to buy an Air Fryer:
Cost:
It’s not a very expensive appliance to buy. They range between 4000 to
12000 rupees. The price may depend upon, size, voltage and digital/manual
handling and/or display features.
Space:
Its quite compact, doesn't take a lot of space on kitchen counter. A
little bigger than your mixer grinder and can be fit in a corner, its tall so
needs headspace.
Ease:
It’s very easy to use and that is its USP. Doesn't really heat up the
kitchen or itself too much. The handle in the front makes it very easy to
handle it without mittens. It comes with a lot of programmed settings,
making cooking a child's play. Also, cleaning is very easy and over all
cooking is mess free.
Taste:
10/10, my experience with all that I have made in the Air fryer.
The crunch, texture, is 100%.
Health:
It does help you cook in a healthier manner. Amount of oil used is
minuscule compared to deep frying. Snacking is fun with an Air fryer.
So,
do I recommend?
Absolutely,
yes! But everything has its advantages and drawbacks. The drawbacks that I
discovered, didn't dampen my experience though.
Nonetheless listing them, to help you make a better decision.
1.
Its small and may need multiple batches to cook food for a big family. It
works well for a family of 4.
2. If
you don’t frequently eat fried stuff, it may be left idle for long.
3.
You need to welcome it like your third burner on a gas stove and
frequently think ways of using it.
4.
Very runny batters cannot be cooked in the basket.
Go
ahead, I am sure you can now make an informed decision!
