Why a paradise for the palate?
In many cookbooks, you will find recipes that you can rarely cook exactly as the pictures promise. This often leads to negative associations when thinking about cooking. Especially the somewhat inexperienced cooks are now overwhelmed with unusual recipes that are hardly worthwhile to cook yourself, as the effort is too great.
We at Gourmet Paradise have therefore made it our mission to perfect and simplify the cooking experience of each individual.
We do not focus on the pictures, the presentation, the marketing, but exactly what a cookbook must be able to do:
Diversity of recipes - simplicity - pleasure for the palate
Introduction
Fried food tastes as good for everyone but fried foods are unhealthy for us so that some people don't care. Wouldn't it be nice if you could continue to eat french fries or chicken wings, but they were much healthier and you didn't have to compromise on taste?
You can let off steam in the kitchen and there are now so many different ways to prepare food that you would probably have to spend half your life cooking to get them all through. In this book, however, we only want to go into one of the many preparation options. It has a lot of different dishes on its own, so it doesn't get boring at first. The air fryer. At the beginning, we would like to go into a little more detail about the device and the method of preparation, and at the same time explain it to those who are not familiar with it. A few advantages that justify the purchase of such a device are also listed later. This is followed by our best and tastiest recipes, which are very easy and quick to follow. So, get on the deep fryer and have fun reading and cooking!
Chapter 1: What is an Air Fryer ?
As the name suggests, the hot air fryer works with hot air. The principle is similar to that of a convection oven and the name deep fryer was probably only used because everyone knows how popular deep-fried food is and how perfect deep-frying would be if it could be made lower in fat. And bang, the air fryer was born and the name and appearance - the perfect marketing ploy. The difference to a hot air oven lies in the size. Because of the small cooking space, the desired temperature is reached faster than with a conventional oven and therefore also uses less energy. Often the hot air fryer is also referred to as a deep fat fryer, which is only partially true. Because you can't and shouldn't be complete without fat or oil. Because fats and oils are important sources of energy and taste in our body that we shouldn't do without. As with many other things, it just depends on the right amount. In practice, a tablespoon would be enough to properly refine the food. So in any case, it is lower in fat than the conventional way of "deep-frying".
Chapter 2: Benefits of an Air Fryer
The advantages of a hot air fryer are at least as diverse as the number of recipes it has to offer. Here we have put together a few of the most important and convincing advantages of the hot air fryer: 1. Low in fat The most common reason why people buy a hot air fryer is that you can prepare your food with low fat, if not fat-free. Even french fries are no longer soaked in oil, as they can get by with a few splashes of oil in the air fryer. Even if one speaks of oil-free cooking very often when it comes to the hot air fryer. So you shouldn't leave out all of the oil. The "healthy" oil contains important omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, which are very beneficial for our organism. That is why we have not completely omitted the oil in all recipes. 2. The versatility The air fryer is versatile because there is hardly anything that you cannot do with it. Be it baking, grilling, roasting or cooking. There are no limits to your fantasies. 3. Practical Another convincing reason is that the air fryer is easy to clean and some of it is even dishwasher safe. That means No more annoying grease cleaning. 4. It is economical You not only save time but also money because the possibility of being able to heat the small cooking space quickly means you can start preparing in a very short time and you don't have to leave the appliance on forever.
Chapter 3: Important Tips
The air fryer would now be compared several times with an oven, but it does not have to be treated like an oven or preheated. Most of the time, the food is placed in the cold air fryer and then the timer and program are selected. Heating up generally takes less than two minutes, which of course saves a lot of energy.
A hot air fryer does not switch off automatically after use, as some ovens can, but has to be switched off manually after use. On the one hand, this saves electricity and is good for your wallet and the environment and, on the other hand, protects the device in the event of a power failure or lightning strike.
Most air fryers come with different programs and the desired mode must be set manually. Of course, recipes are better if the right mode is selected. And to avoid throwing away food that has been cooked too long or too hot, you should familiarize yourself with the modes of your air fryer.
The ingredients for your dishes need to be placed correctly. As already mentioned, different models also allow different placements. However, it is important not to overload the air fryer or to stack food unnecessarily.
Sometimes some recipes can be fine-tuned and a little trying out is allowed. But only if enough common sense is used. If you have any doubts, then it is better to keep your hands off it and before you cook something too long, it is better to check it out from time to time.
As mentioned, many air fryers come with accessories. Make sure that you use this properly and you will enjoy your air fryer for a long time. With these tips now, you should be well prepared to try a few recipes.
Nutritional information
We have listed nutritional information for each recipe. However, these can vary.
The recipes are structured so that the number of calories, fats, proteins and carbohydrates are available for information. Each recipe also contains an indication of how many portions, people, or pieces the respective recipe is written for.
However, this nutritional information is only intended as a guide and should not be taken to the number or decimal point. The reason for this lies in the food itself.
Those who cook a lot with organic products get different nutritional values than people who only work with frozen products.
The nutritional information serves as a guide - depending on the food used, other nutritional values may arise.
As a little tip by the way:
If in recipes it is recommended to use the peel of a product (e.g. orange, lemon or lime, or similar), organic products should always be used. Organic products contain an average of 37 fewer harmful pesticide substances than conventional products.
Even if organic is not always free from pesticides, they usually contain less harmful pesticides than conventional fruits or vegetables.
