Cooking with kids is not just about ingredients, recipes, and cooking. Its about harnessing imagination, empowerment, and creativity. Guy Fieri

W hat is better than cooking? Cooking with your kids of course! Kids grow up so fast, and I am pretty sure that in the near future my kids will think of staying at home with their mom will be the last thing on their minds. While they are young enough to still think that cooking with me is cool, I will make the most out of it.

If you are a working mom like me, then you will appreciate that every moment that you spend with your kids at home is becoming more precious and even rarer than ever. Almost always, I am too tired to do any more work at home when I come home from the office. But whenever I get to pick up my kids and then drive home, I feel better than ever.

I have always loved cooking, but baking is something I feel passionate about especially because my kids do love their desserts. The trouble is most desserts that my kids like do take a lot of time to prepare at home. I am almost always tempted to buy desserts from the shelves or from the local diner. I wanted to teach my kids the value and the rewards of eating home cooked meal. So you can just imagine how I feel torn in between preparing their favorite desserts and buying ready-made meals for them. Fortunately, the air fryer solved my dilemma!

I was at my sisters for a long weekend, and I brought my kids along for a bit of bonding with their cousins. My sister served a great meal but her dessert for the night the tart was the star. My kids loved it! I asked her where she bought it and to my surprise she said she just prepared it herself. I forgot to mention that I was already at my sisters house when she started preparing for the dinner, and it took her less than an hour in the kitchen. So I asked her how she did it, and she showed me her secret.

The next day, I volunteered to bake cookies using my own recipe and with the help of my sister in the use of the air fryer. It was a breeze! Plus, I noticed that because handling the air fryer is relatively easier and safer, I realized that I could have my kids join me in baking without me being too preoccupied with the handling of the oven. The prospect alone of baking my kids favorite desserts and spending more time with them sold me on the idea of the air fryer. After the weekend vacation, I brought home my brand new air fryer.

My discovery of the air fryer happened almost a year ago and let me tell you that so far, I have nothing but praises for this great kitchen tool. Plus, I have received nothing but praises from my kids, friends, and colleagues of the great desserts that I bake. This is why I want to share the many benefits of the air fryer with you, especially other working moms out there, who want to prepare home cooked meals and desserts for their kids and have it done easier than before.

One more thing, I also noticed that because of how the air fryer cooks or bakes, I found another bonus to its long list of advantages. Aside from being versatile cooking equipment, I am able to remove a staple on my list of cooking ingredients, cooking oil. This means I get to prepare dishes that are healthier than ever. I am sure that you will find several uses for your air fryer but for this book, I want to show you that desserts can be prepared using the air fryer.

I n this chapter, I will help you learn about the:

• Overview of the Air Fryer
• How to Use the Air Fryer
• Price Range, Brands, and Other Useful Information

I am sure you are curious at how the air fryer actually works. We really do not need to know about the scientific or the physics behind this wonder kitchen appliance. However, if you are like me, I want to satisfy my curiosity once in a while.

The air fryer does not require fire to heat your ingredients; this automatically means that you can do away with cooking oil and similar ingredients that are meant to prevent ingredients from getting stuck in a pan. While the air fryer does not use flame, it still requires heat.

The machine generates the needed heat by warming the air. When the air is warmed, its main component, the fan will take over. The fan will suck in the air and circulate it around the food at very high speeds. The speed and the warmth of the air are so great that it is enough to actually cook the ingredients.

If you are like me, with any new or high-tech kitchen appliance, I am slightly suspicious of the end result of the cooking. I know oil is bad, but I know that it contributes a lot to the taste and flavors of the dishes that I prepare. So far and I have read research on this, dishes prepared using the air fryer taste the same, if not better, compared to those cooked with deep fryers and other common kitchen appliances.

A lmost all air fryers in the market now work on the principle of circulating heated air. There are different models, but most air fryers have various settings to help you control the heat and the duration of the cooking. Air fryers will have knobs or buttons to set the temperature and the time you want for the baking to occur.

There will always be an air fryer basket; this is where you will put your ingredients or baking tins to bake your dessert. The earlier models of the air fryer require you to gently shake the entire air fryer so that the cooking is even on your ingredients. The more recent models will have a built-in shaker that does the agitating for you.
