🍽 Air fryers
There are several different types of air fryers available, from basket-style models to ones combined with toaster ovens.
We mostly use the Ninja Foodi 2-Basket Air Fryer with DualZone Technology. It has two baskets so you can air fry larger portions of food at the same time. And it has a ton of great features.
Some of our favorites include the Match Cook feature that lets you set a cooking time and temperature for one basket and mimic it for the other in simply one step. In addition to air frying, it also lets you bake, roast, broil , and even dehydrate foods.
And sometimes we'll use the 8-quart Pressure-cooker Deluxe multicooker to air fry dishes, especially if we're making a large meal and need an extra air fryer.
Pros for the Ninja Dual Zone Technology Air Fryer:
- Two baskets to make air frying more efficient.
- Even cooking in both baskets.
- Super simple to clean, non-stick baskets.
- Lots of cooking features in addition to air frying.
❓Air fryer FAQs
Air fryers come in all sizes and configurations. If you plan to simply use it occasionally or have a family of 2-3, a smaller 6-quart model should be simply fine. For larger families or if you intend to use the air fryer more frequently, an 8 or 10-quart, dual basket model may suit your needs better.
Is air frying truly healthier than deep frying?Yes, air frying uses little or no cooking oil, so foods still turn out hot and crispy but without all of the excess oil and grease found in other frying methods. In many cases, we'll use simply a quick spray of oil on the food before we air fry to get that crispy finish.
Do We need to preheat an air fryer?One of the great advantages an air fryer has over an oven is that they don't have to be preheated. They work quite efficiently so you can simply add the food you want to air fry, set the time and temperature, and let it go to work. This can be a great time save whether you're in a hurry to make breakfast or for any meal of the day.
What's the best way to clean the air fryer?Cleaning an air fryer is usually quite simple. Our Pressure-cooker dual zone air fryer includes a pair of baskets with a removable, non-stick cooking rack at the bottom of each.
To clean them, we simply remove the racks and wash them with soap and water. Then we do the same with the baskets. Since they're non-stick, any food residue simply wipes right off.
Every once in a while it's also a good idea to clean the interior of your air fryer. Grease and other food particles can start to adhere to it, which may result in it smoking. To do this, make sure the air fryer is completely cool. Then, turn it upside down and clean off the main element on the inside of the air fryer.
