There are infinite kitchen appliances that are available. Which one(s) do you find the most helpful in your daily cooking? I love my Kuvings juicer; it makes amazing green juice, which I enjoy. Today, though, I want to talk about the air fryer. I’ll be honest, my husband wanted one of these for years. The product name contains ‘fryer’. How does nutrition fit with ‘fryer’ – I was skeptical. After reading more about the technology and how it truly is only air circulating at a high temperature that cooks the food, I was willing to try it out. And since then, we make so many of our foods using the air fryer. Is it a necessity? Of course not, but I do like that it cooks foods more quickly and is easy to clean. Can you replicate its effects in an oven? Absolutely, it just takes longer. An air fryer really functions more as a mini convection oven and does not technically fry food. The goal – for your food to have a crunchy, crispy exterior yet remaining soft on the inside.
