The Daewoo Deluxe Air Fryer Cookbook For Beginners: 1001-Day Easy and Affordable Air Fryer Recipes for Smart People on a Budget

Product Information

Air fryers work by circulating hot air around food. Inside, the air fryer will have a heating element which warms up the air, passing it over and around the food in the cooking chamber. This is what creates the trademark crispy effect people love so much about air-fried food. And you don’t have to add much oil too. Next, clean the interior. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the interior and remove any grease or food particles. For more thorough cleaning, you can remove the tray and wash it in the dishwasher (if it is dishwasher safe) or by hand. If there are any hard-to-reach areas, use a cotton swab or toothbrush to clean them. Knowing how to use an air fryer also involves knowing how to take care of it. To keep it functioning well you should regularly clean it.

Use in a well ventilated space: Leave plenty of space around the air fryer for ventilation. Do not use right next to a wall. Overfilling the basket: Because air fryers use hot air to cook, you need to leave space between the items to allow air flow and encourage even cooking. Busy parents are often keen for ways to shave precious time off their daily routines, whether that's using a slow cooker for efficient, effortless food prep, or using a gadget like an air fryer to actually reduce the overall cooking time needed for meals. We're certainly all on board with anything that makes family life easier, and Mumsnet users rave about the time and money-saving qualities of an air fryer.Reducing the amount of oil you use in your cooking is one of the key benefits of using air fryers: they allow for healthier cooking. Air fryers require little oil in comparison to other cooking methods, lowering the amount of unhealthy fat in your food. This small change can improve your heart health and lower your cholesterol. Additionally, not submerging your foods in oil (like you would when using a deep fat fryer) preserves their nutritional value better. Sweet treats: Air fryers are great for more than just savoury food. Try cakes and muffins for delicious results.

Reheated food: Air fryers are fantastic for reheating food. They won’t make once-crispy things mushy like a microwave will. Use them to revive leftovers or last night’s takeaway! The size of air fryers in relation to conventional ovens makes one of their advantages their convenience too, although bear in mind that you will need to make space on your countertop. They are usually easy to clean, with most containing dishwasher-safe parts. All in all, they are an appliance ideal for people with busy lives, including parents and those struggling to find time in the kitchen after a long day at work. What Mumsnet users say

How does an air fryer work?

All potato-based products (apart from mash): Your air fryer will easily outperform your oven on crispiness and cooking speed. Go easy on the oil: Too much oil can result in overly greasy food and may cause the air fryer to get too smoke, so go easy on the oil, particularly if the food you're cooking is already quite fatty. Here's a handy step-by-step guide to cooking food with a basket air fryer. How to use it will differ from meal to meal and between models (it will be slightly different for air fryer ovens too), so you should always consult the instructions before starting, but these are generally the steps involved in air frying.
