With the air fryer, you can cook many delicious foods, not only fried raw, but also baked cakes and heated food.
Meat: such as fried chicken legs and wings, fried chicken chops, fried crispy meat, fried coconut shrimp, fried fish strips, fried fish pieces, fried dried fish, dry fried meatballs, fried shredded squid, fried pork belly, fried ham sausage and so on. Although the air fryer sets the frying time of each food, it should be adjusted according to the size and quantity of food in daily use. It is best to turn it frequently when frying to avoid uneven frying. It should be noted that before frying meat, it must be prefabricated in advance, for example, pickled in advance and wrapped with starch or flour to avoid water loss and affect the taste during frying. Compared with fried meat, the meat fried with air fryer has no greasy feeling and is healthier.
Pasta: fried jiaozi, fried pumpkin pie, fried sweet potato glutinous rice cake, fried rice cake, fried onion oil cake, fried sesame leaves, baked biscuits, baked cupcakes, baked buns, baked pies, baked leek boxes, toast, baked garlic cheese bread, fried fritters, baked biscuits, butter biscuits and so on. When using air fryer to make cakes, it is best to prepare them in advance, such as pies, and fry them in the pan first and then in the air fryer, which can increase the crispness of the pies. It can also be used as a heating tool, such as frying fried dough sticks and twist the night before and frying them in an air frying pan for a few minutes for breakfast the next morning. It tastes as delicious as just fried. Note: When baking cakes such as bread, biscuits and scallion cakes in an air frying pan, you must pad baking paper and brush it with oil, otherwise it will easily stick to the pan and increase the cleaning workload. As long as the heat is well controlled, the pasta cooked in an air fryer is as delicious as that cooked in an oven or pan.
Fried fruits and vegetables: such as fried tomato box, fried lotus root box, French fries, fried taro strips, potato pieces, onion chips, fried onion rings, fried peanuts, fried soybeans and so on. When frying vegetables in an air fryer, you should brush enough oil. Some vegetables should be coated with starch or flour in advance, and at the same time, you should control the frying time and turn them frequently, otherwise the fried vegetables will be hard and unpalatable.
The air fryer has the advantages of saving electricity, being fast, being safe and reliable, saving time and labor, being small in size, being easy to carry and clean, etc. It is a necessary modern kitchen appliance for small families.
