Check out the 4 tips below that will make using your airfryer easier:
1. Turn food over during cooking
When we consider that the mechanism of operation of the airfryer is through a unidirectional flow of hot air, it is easy understand that even though the movement is convective, that is, by circulation, there is not a uniform distribution of the heat.
Therefore, in order for the food to be uniform and at the right point, it is important to turn it over, especially for frying or for meat.
2. Clean after every use
As with other appliances, maintaining a cleaning routine after use is important for the efficiency and performance of the equipment.
In the case of airfryers, cleaning can be carried out in a simple way: wash the moving parts with water and detergent after each use and after a few uses (between 3 and 4) of the other parts of the appliance.
This is because, not cleaning results in accumulations of food and fat, which can affect both the performance of the equipment and change the taste of the food.
3. Avoid overcrowding the basket
One of the most common errors among airfryer users, which end up causing a loss of device performance, is overcrowding the basket. Either because of the desire to finish soon, or because of the lack of time, filling the basket can generate the opposite of the expected result.
This occurs because, as the equipment works by the convective movement of hot air, it is important that it be free to come into contact with all food, in the same way that we submerge French fries in oil.
However, in the case of airfryers, if this requirement is not met, the food may come out soggy and need much more time to be ready.
