Check now how to position your electric fryer in the kitchen:
air fryer near sinks
It is certainly extremely dangerous to use or store any appliance near the kitchen sink. Since, in addition to running the risk of electric shocks, fires or burning your device, you will be exposing it to thousands of bacteria.
Since studies indicate that the sink is one of the areas that most accumulate microorganisms, with up to 17,000 pieces of bacteria, it is preferable to use it separately from the rest of the culinary activities.
Air fryer near fresh food
The risk of using your air fryer near fresh food such as fruit and bread is the heat given off by the device on top of the food.
Thus, foods that are not being prepared inside your air fryer may end up spoiling faster due to exposure to higher temperatures, even momentarily.
Air fryer on top of cloths
Placing your electric fryer on top of any flammable object is extremely dangerous. Supporting it on tea towels or fabrics during use, constantly emanating heat, will run the risk of fire.
Know the 5 inch rule
In addition to the precautions above, an expert tip is to measure 5 inches (12.7 cm) or more when positioning your air fryer, away from corners and walls.
Thus, it will provide enough opening for the heat to be dispersed into the air during use, in addition to avoiding marking or staining any area of the kitchen.
