Clark - Air Fryer Cookbook for Beginners: Full-Colored Book with Beautiful Pictures and Simple Recipes for Cooking Delicious Dishes

Air fryers have started to become popular, due to the fact that you can avoid many of the unhealthy aspects of modern cooking. But what is an air fryer exactly, and how on earth does it work?

Air fryers are basically an upgraded, enhanced countertop oven, but they became popular for one particular reason. In fact, many of the manufacturers, such as Philips, market this machine solely based on the claim that the air fryers accurately mimic deep-frying, which, although extremely unhealthy, is still very popular in this day and age (as it is, in my opinion, one of the most delicious ways to eat food).

Air fryers work with the use of a fan and a heating mechanism. You place the food you want cooked in a basket or on the rack, turn on the machine, and the air fryer distributes oven-temperature hot air around your food. It provides consistent, pervasive heat evenly to all the food within. This heat circulation achieves the crispy taste and texture that is so tantalizing in deep fried foods, but without the unhealthy and dangerous oil! Both have been replaced by this miracle machine with hot air and a fan.

I may have already slipped in a few of the advantages to using an air fryer, but now lets expand a little more on everything an air fryer can do for you. After all, no investment should be made unless its absolutely worthwhile.

And in truth, the air fryer is very worthwhile. I cannot begin to tell you how the advantages start piling up; this is not just another average appliance that everyone is getting because of a simple trend. People are getting air fryers because of their incredible, numerous, multifaceted benefits.

There are, however, a few notable advantages of using an air fryer, which Ill list below. If you dont know anything else about air fryers, I hope that these will convince you of their worth.

This is perhaps the top benefit that comes with air frying. In a society that really struggles with healthy cooking, we can use all the help we can get. Luckily, air fryers make it easy, all while maintaining many of the factors that make unhealthy food delicious!

Air fryers use very little oil, which is one of the best ways to replace those unhealthy fried foods, like fried chicken, potatoes, and so many others. If you are like me (a lover of deep fried foods) then this is the answer to your dilemma of healthy eating while still enjoying the crispy taste of food!

Do keep in mind that you still need to spray fried foods, such as fish, with a touch of oil to make sure it does get evenly crispy. All in all, however, there is no denying the amount of oils is a whole lot less.

This singular change makes all the difference in the world. Healthy eating has never been easier, as youll get the same crispy and flavorsome results, with minimal amounts of added oils. Youll even be able to fry foods you never were able to beforethe possibilities are endless!

Nothing scares me more than a hot pot of oil. It is an accident waiting to happen, and getting struck with burning oil splatters is no joke! But this, and its corresponding injuries, is often the price to pay for deep fried foods.

Air fryers are also user-friendly, and this makes a huge difference. You dont have to feel like you are studying for a degree when working with an air fryer. Making dinner is far less complicated in an air fryer than many of the traditional methods of cooking. For some mealsunless you choose one of the more complex recipes Ill share lateryou can even revert to placing a small piece of meat (even if it happens to be frozen!) into the basket and select the cooking settings.

The simplicity of the air fryer is its beauty. You will save countless time and unnecessary frustrations, and still make delicious food!

Once you buy an air fryer and set it to heat for the first time, you wont know what hit you! The average normal oven needs about 10 minutes to preheat. Due to the air fryers smaller size and innovative design, it will be ready to go in no time!

Its even faster during the actual cooking. With the circulation that allows your food to be cooked crisp and even, it cuts a whole lot of cooking time out of the equation. This is amazing, especially in this day and age where technology, work, friends, family, and even pets are constantly demanding our attention.

Just imagine! You could set your food in the air fryer, and (with some recipes) it will be ready to eat in less than 20 minutes!

If you are someone living in a small apartment, or a student accommodation, then an air fryer is perfect for you. Air fryers are much smaller in comparison to a conventional oven and you can easily make use of this air fryer in 1 cubic foot of your kitchen.

You can even pack your air fryer away after use if need be, but the majority of people choose to keep it out on the counter. But its nice to have the option to move your air fryer around if space becomes an issue.

Considering how much cooking oil costs these days and the amount you need to use, you will soon be cutting costs in making deep fried foods. All an air fryer uses is a small amount of oil and some of the electricity to power up the air fryer, about the same amount that a countertop oven would.

Not only will you be cutting out the massive oil costs, which will save money, you will likely also save money by ordering out less, as youll be able to replicate your favorite foods quickly and easily at home!
