There is an appliance that has been increasingly sought after and it is not very difficult to understand what it is. I’m talking specifically about the Air Fryer. They were born with the aim of replacing traditional fryers with the advantage of not using oil. However, they began to be equipment that does much more than that and some even use it as a true substitute for the oven. However, we need to pay some attention to our equipment and in fact there are secrets that allow us to make the most of the Air Fryer and make all the difference when it comes to cooking. So if you’re going to use the Air Fryer this Christmas, you really have to do this!
If you use the Air Fryer this Christmas you absolutely have to!
This is a question that turns out to be curious, since we don’t remember this most of the time. However experts say it is essential. I’m talking about preheating.
Normally we are used to preheating the oven. This is because it has large dimensions and for the food to be really good, it should be very warm when we put the food there to prepare it. In the case of the Air Fryer, as the dimension is much smaller, it would not be expected that preheating would be necessary. The question is what it is. In fact, it is even considered essential.
Of course, speaking in terms of energy, you can spend a little more. However, in reality, it will be almost a negligible difference. This is because, unlike the oven, it only takes 3 minutes to preheat.
That said, before you put any food in there to cook, turn on the Air Fryer and let it run empty for three minutes. Then with it very hot, we just put the food in quickly and that’s it.
But what does preheating do?
If we don’t, the food won’t be as tasty. In addition, the appearance will not be so good either. On the other hand, with preheating it becomes crispy and all the flavor is retained.
In other words, food that is crispy on the outside but also moist and tender on the inside. This is because the heat will seal the meat or whatever we are cooking very well and leave the inside soft and moist.
