How does an air fryer work?

Although air cooker technology has been around since 1945 it has only been recently that this humble household appliance has seen a surge in popularity throughout the world. Based on the design and function of the convection oven, the air fryer oven can fry food on your countertop without the oil and inevitable calories.

Using a heating element and a fan, the air fryer rapidly moves heated air over every surface of the food placed inside it to deliver the signature crisp and crunch that you’re used to getting from deep-fried foods.

An air fryer is a great affordable alternative to built-in kitchen appliances like your regular home oven.

But why, if you have a perfectly functioning oven at home, would you be interested in purchasing an air fryer? The biggest advantage of using your air fryer is the substantial drop in calories you can achieve cooking your fried foods with hot air instead of loads of oil. You can expect to typically drop up to 80% of the calories you would normally intake in a deep-fried meal when you use your air fryer to cook instead. It’s also a fast appliance, halving your normal cooking time for things like crispy coated chicken wings, crunchy coconut fried prawns, and hot chips.

Finally, both a pro and con depending on how you’re planning to use your air fryer, the cooking area is a lot smaller than a conventional oven. This is because the fryer works by evenly circulating hot air throughout the cooking area to achieve the crispy exterior you’re looking for.

The rapid air and the heat coming into the cooking chamber is what achieves thorough cooking and crunch. This is great news for people who struggle to cook in proportions fit for one or two people but if you’re cooking for a family then it’s worth considering the larger appliances available on The Daily Sale Shop.

What can you cook in an air fryer?

Treat your air fryer like a deep fryer or an oven. You can cook pretty much anything in your air fryer that you can cook in a conventional oven or your deep fryer, including hot chips, cakes, roast vegetables, fried fish, and more. As the air fryer has surged in popularity throughout the last ten years, you’ll find plenty of fast, easy, and fresh recipes everywhere. Make all of your favourite fried and grilled meals using less time and with half the calories.

As a set-and-forget appliance like a slow cooker, you can cook for the whole family quickly and easily, without having to hover around your stovetop or oven. Pop a roast chicken in, wind down for the evening, and then pop it back out again with your favourite sides of veggies. You won’t believe how juicy and rich-tasting your roast chicken can really be.

How to clean an air fryer?

Your new air fryer from The Daily Sale Shop is quick and easy to keep clean. The fryer uses a range of baskets to house the food it cooks so once you’re finished cooking your meal, switch off your appliance at the wall, and you can have it ready for the next meal in a few moments. 

These baskets can be easily removed and cleaned using your normal dishwashing detergent and hot water. Within the air fryer, take a clean, damp cloth and gently wipe out the interior. You can use a non-abrasive sponge and some dishwashing detergent if needed. You’ll also need to use a clean, damp cloth to gently wipe the heating element clean.

If you have some oily residue within your air fryer that you can’t seem to shift with a clean cloth, then try some newspaper instead. Wad it up and use the texture and its absorbency to shift stubborn grease from within the fryer and wipe down later with a damp cloth and some dishwashing detergent.
