HOW TO SAVE TIME WHEN COOKING
-
Don’t overcrowd your basket!
Your foods will need space between them to allow the hot air to circulate around it effectively. Try to remember the air circulation is what actually cooks your food so the more room the air has to do its thing the more likely for you to achieve a deliciously crispy result. This may mean that you will have to cook certain recipes in multiple batches, so keep this in mind when packing that basket.
-
Keep the Fryer dry, and clean!
Try to keep your fryer as dry and clean as possible. If you are cooking foods that were previously marinated or even breaded, try to shake off the excess liquid or stray bits before adding it to your fryer basket. After cooking foods high in fat try to clean the fryer as soon as it is cool enough to touch to avoid a smoky experience the next time it is used. Alternately you can also consider lining your fryer basket with foil or parchment paper before cooking.
-
Shake it!
If you are familiar with an actual deep fryer, you would know that often times you may need to shake the basket to avoid compression or getting the food stuck together. The Air Fryer carries the same principle. While you are “frying” food in the Air Fryer it is recommended that you rotate or shake the food in your fryer basket while they cook, in some cases as often as every 5 minutes.
-
A little oil goes a far way!
Consider coating your food in a small amount of oil before air frying. This helps you to achieve a crispier or more crunchy skin.
-
Test out other cooking methods.
Your Air Fryer can be used for so much more than just frying. In fact, it can literally do most, if not all, dry cooking method you can think of so get create and test out even recipes that call for grilling, roasting or even baking.
