One of the reasons why people buy air fryers is to cut down on deep-fried food. It uses very little oil for cooking which can make your samosa or fish finger healthier.
An air fryer serves other purposes as well apart from frying food. Instead of using a microwave, you can defrost frozen foods, especially meat. It needs minimum to no pre-heating time. You can use it for grilling, toasting, baking, roasting, etc.
The taste of fried food gets enhanced because of its crunchy and crispy texture. The air fry can mimic the same, by using less oil. All you might need is a tablespoon of oil and you can munch on your fritters and crisps all you want.
Apart from cooking, you can use the air fryer to reheat food. It reheats food quickly, prevents overcooking and burning of food, keeps the food crispy, and makes it taste fresh. Reheating a pizza in an air fryer will make it crunchy, and the toppings feel fresh.
Air fryers are delightfully easy to clean. If you clean the appliance after every use, then it will require minimal effort. You can just add some soap and water to the basket and clean it out. You must deep clean the appliance including the coil at least twice every month.
