The only thing I like better than talking about food, is eating.

John Walters

I love food. I have always loved food, but once in a while I get tired of using the same old cooking methods to make the same old food, for the same old meals. Thats why, when I heard about the air fryer, I had to run out and grab one to give it a try.

When I opened up my air fryer, though, I was scared. Okay, I was petrified. I dont have the best track record with frying anything and even though the air fryer is different to the traditional fryer, I was still nervous that I would make the same mistakes I made with the traditional fryer. As it happened, however, my first experience with my air fryer was incredible. My first experience was so incredible (read: easy,) that I didnt stop using my air fryer all week.

When I finally did put my air fryer away for a few days much to the relief of my family I decided I would sit down and put together a book on air frying. Not just a generic book, but a book that shared how affordable and easy air fryer cooking can be even when you are very limited budget like I am!

If you are interested in learning about air frying from someone who quickly came to love this new cooking technique, I encourage you to read on. In the chapters that follow, I will not only share with you what I have learned about air fryers, but I will also share some of my favorite 5 ingredient or less breakfast, dinner, and dessert recipes for the air fryer.

I like to eat and I love the diversity of foods. David Soul

How to Choose the Right Air Fryer For You

Using Your Air Fryer

A n air fryer is often referred to as an oil-less fryer because unlike a deep fat fryer that uses hot oil to fry foods, an air fryer uses the circulation of superheated air to fry foods. The air within the air fryer can heat as high as 392 degrees Fahrenheit. Such high heat allows food to brown, crisp, and cook through much as the foods would do were they in a traditional deep fat fryer. This hot air is emitted from a heating element in the cooking chamber that is quite close to the food and then an exhaust fan above the food provides circulation for the hot air. This system lets the superheated air circulate and pass through the food so that the food is evenly heated.

Since frying technically describes a method of cooking foods in fats and oil, how can an air fryer be considered a fryer? Well, air fryers arent technically fryers at all. The reason why they are referred to as fryers is because the air fryer was developed to provide a healthy alternative to deep fat frying. In actuality, air fryers are much more like convection oven cooking instead of deep fat fryers. Since companies intended for the air fryer to replace the deep fat fryer, however, marketing teams took to referring to this new cooking method as air frying.

T echnically, there are two different types of air fryers the basket air fryer and the paddle air fryer. There are, however, a few more categories that can separate some air fryers from others. In this section we will take a look at all of these categories.

Basket Air Fryers

A basket air fryer is a more affordable type of air fryer, but when using this air fryer you may have to stop the fryer multiple times during the cooking process to shake up or turn the food in the fryer to ensure that it is thoroughly cooked. When cooking with a basket air fryer, food needs to be coated with fat before it is put in to the cooking basket.

Paddle Air Fryers

A paddle air fryer is usually a more expensive air fryer than a basket air fryer, but this expense is justified by the fact that this fryer turns or stirs the food in the fryer while it is cooking. When using a paddle air fryer, fat should be added to the pan with the food before cooking begins.

Completely Oil Free Fryers

Completely oil free fryers are a favorite among health conscious people because they dont utilize oils to cook the food. The food from oil free fryers is crisped up simply through the use of hot air circulation as in convection ovens. When people refer to air fryers being similar to convection ovens, this is most often the type of air fryer they are talking about. Without oils, these cookers have absolutely none of the drawbacks of oil fryers. Oil free fryers can be both basket or paddle fryers.

Oil Air Fryers

Oil air fryers do not use as much oil as a deep fat fryer in fact, they use much, much less. This method of air frying does, however, require a small amount of oil which coats the food in oil before cooking rather than dunking it in to and leaving it in a vat of oil during frying. This results in much less oil being absorbed by the food while the exterior of the food is still crispy. Air fryers that use oil during the air frying process can be basket or paddle style fryers.

Air Fryers with Rapid Air Technology

Air fryers with rapid air technology can be either basket or paddle style air fryers. Rapid air technology is actually a feature of air fryers and is a patented system. This system utilizes both high speed circulation of hot air in combination with a grill at the top of the air fryer unit. This feature was designed to allow food to cook evenly and much faster than some other air fryer units.
