The Christmas, time to share time with the family and, also, to make gifts. For some time now, air fryers, o ‘air fryer‘, in which the user does not need to use oil, have been making a hole in the homes of more and more users. If you are thinking of buying one, or asking the Three Kings, to prepare dishes that are somewhat lighter and contain fewer calories, you should bear in mind that this type of device they are not valid for cooking any food.
If you want to avoid problems, and that the device ends up damaged, it is important that you are clear about the things you should not put inside your ‘air fryer’. We share some of the most dangerous for the operation of the appliance.
no liquids
Liquids can damage this type of device, therefore, forget about using the fryer to heat or make soups or purées. Obviously, when you cook meat or fish, it is normal for the food to release some liquid, and in this sense there is no problem. The failure is to put something inside that completely soaks the device.
Be careful with the cheese
Cheese can also be problematic. You can put foods that carry it inside the fryer, for example, a sandwich, but trying to avoid that, when heated and melted, it ends up on the surface of the ‘air fryer’. If it ends up coming out, you will have to clean the fryer to continue using it. The device might even start giving problems.
Foil
It is also not recommended that you use silver paper. To begin with, because if you use it, you will prevent the air from being distributed correctly over the entire surface of the fryer, which will cause the dish you are trying to cook to end up being a failure. In case aluminum comes into contact with the resistor, it may cause damage to the device.
The ‘Direct to the palate’ site recommends using parchment paper with holes in it instead. Something that will allow the air to spread better and the dish to cook properly.
No inappropriate accessories
This happens with the vast majority of electronic devices. To avoid breakdowns, it is important that the user do not use accessories that are not compatible with the deep fryer, regardless of the material from which they are made. It should be noted that, in the event that we use, for example, an improper container, it can scratch or damage the surface of the ‘air fryer’ in some way, so it is important that the user avoid it whenever possible.
