How Air Fryers Work

The whole idea of an air fryer is to be an alternative to deep frying, getting a similar result but using much less oil and circulating hot air to cook your food. They are a bench top appliance, and can be used to cook veggies, pastries, dry out fruit for cocktails or even fry chicken.

Most air fryers are simple to use with either a single or dual basket that the food is placed in for cooking, depending on the size of the basket or oven space, and air fryer, you can get up to the size of an entire chicken sitting nicely inside. A bit of oil, usually two teaspoons, is added, and the cooking time and heat can be adjusted from the outside of the air fryer.
