Air fryers, or Air fryers, allow you to prepare appetizing recipes that apparently seem to be fried, but are not thanks to the small amount of oil used for them.
We are increasingly clear that a healthy lifestyle is a sum of several aspects, among which regular exercise and healthy eating occupy an important place.
And although it is not about going from 0 to 100, that is, from having a very sedentary life to running a marathon, or from eating ultra-processed foods to only eating fruits and vegetables, we can gradually introduce small habits in our day to day that are simple and, above all, that they provide us with a better quality of life.
For example, when it comes to our diet, there are new appliances that help us find healthier alternatives to consume a wide variety of foods.
The air fryer is, in this sense, a highly recommended appliance since it cooks food in a healthier and more allows to consume much less oil than usual. In this way, and compared to traditional frying, they generate significantly less fat, which translates into lower calorie intake. Nor should we forget that excessive fat consumption is directly related to cardiovascular diseases.
Operation and cleaning of air fryers
The operation of fryers without oil or Air fryer is similar to that of a convection oven. It has a resistance, generally located in the lower part that emits heat and a fan that distributes that heat throughout the fryer drawer, enveloping the food and cooking it evenly.
In addition, it has a screen where it is possible to select time, temperature and, unlike ovens, it includes specific preparations, to be able to cook, for example, chicken, fish, pizza or desserts.
That is one of its great advantages, which they are easy and comfortable to use, but also to clean. To do this, with the air fryer unplugged and cool, remove all the pieces from the main bowl and with the help of a kitchen paper removes all the oil or remains of food that was inside. You can then thoroughly clean all parts with dish soap, hot (or lukewarm) water, and the smooth side of a sponge. It should be cleaned after each use so that it does not accumulate dirt.
Another of the main advantages of the air fryer is that they do not cause as much odor because the air or vapor they expel is infinitely less than that of conventional fryers.
The operation of this appliance is quite fast, since its preheating time is much shorter than that of a conventional oven, so the dishes are ready in a short time and less energy is consumedwhich is an important fact with the current prices of electricity and gas.
Although, as we have mentioned, the main benefit to highlight is the lower consumption of fat and cholesterol in food. It is estimated that food is cooked with up to 80% less oil.
Disadvantages of Air Fryers
However, as with everything, it has some disadvantages, since it is an appliance that is not particularly cheap. There are models with prices from 40 euros to 150.
On the other hand, air fryers are not small, they usually take up a lot of space, which can be a handicap when looking for a place for them in the kitchen.
In summary, these are household appliances that can represent a considerable investment but that can be amortized since a multitude of recipes can be prepared with it and what makes it different is that those dishes will be much healthier and just as tasty.
