Food is the pursuit of many young people now, and fried food is one of the most popular foods. However, the fried food bought outside not only has hidden health problems, but also has high oil content, so many people choose to use air fryer to make fried food. The air fryer should be preheated in advance before use. What does it mean to preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes? How to preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes?

Preheating the air fryer for five minutes actually means that the empty pot is adjusted to 180 degrees and heated for five minutes before putting the ingredients into the air fryer. During the preheating process, the temperature in the air fryer rises slowly. At this time, if the ingredients are put directly into the air frying pan without preheating, the crisp taste of the food will be affected. However, if the food is put into the air frying pan after the temperature rises to a fixed temperature, the taste will be more crisp.

If you use an air fryer to cook ingredients, brushing a layer of oil on the surface will not only make the food taste better, but also look more beautiful. Especially for some oil-free ingredients, such as vegetables, applying oil on the surface of these ingredients can also prevent the ingredients from sticking during frying and taste better.

When cleaning the air fryer, you only need to clean the fryer body. The exterior of the air fryer does not need to be cleaned with water. If you feel oily after use, you can wipe it with paper or rag. When cleaning the pan, it is best to use a soft sponge to prevent internal scratches from affecting the later use effect.
