Do air fryers live up to the hype?

There always seem to be a new kitchen gadget coming out, claiming that it is going to change everything and make your life easier. There are some gadgets that miss the mark and there are some that definitely can do what they promise. You may have heard of air fryers, but do they actually live up to the hype? 

Let’s take a closer look at them and whether or not they deliver what they promise.

How does an air fryer work?

The idea of an air fryer is that it uses the combination of heat and a large fan which moves the hot air around the unit. It is this combination that means that whatever food you pop in the air fryer is going to not only cook quickly and evenly, but it is also going to use less oil as it cooks too. 

These are the main benefits of using an air fryer over cooking things in your normal oven, however, it is also worth noting that they are also easy to clean, which means that you can get them ready to use again in no time at all. 

Another great thing about air fryers is that there really is a wealth of things that you can make in them (more than just chips) you can bake cookies, whip up chicken wings and even roast your favourite seeds to snack on. A good way to make sure that you can find a range of recipes is to do a quick online search and you will be given a variety of things that you can cook in no time at all. 

How do I make sure that I have the right air fryer?

There are plenty of air fryers out there at the moment that it can be hard to know which one is the right one for you. You can buy larger units which are designed for cooking family meals and you can also buy smaller ones which are perfect for smaller kitchens which need to save space. Ultimately, it is down to you to ensure that you find an air fryer that is large enough for your needs but that is within your budget too.

They are easy to use, they cook things quickly and they are even easier to clean once you are done with your dinner.
