Cooking In The Air
Using an air fryer can save you the hassle of deep frying your food in oil. It is a healthy, convenient way to cook all types of foods whether it is chicken steak, vegetables or even eggs. However, most people cannot afford to get a professional air fryer oven and they look for ways to do it themselves. There are several things that one must know before buying an air fryer and one such thing is to choose the right one for your kitchen. Also one has to consider factors like space and cooking time.
NOTE: Please make sure the machine is cooling down for at least thirty mins prior to cleaning. Air fryers and other similar cooking appliances have sensitive parts and they can be damaged when not properly maintained. Air fryers and other similar appliances used for frying can break down because of low or no pressure and they can also be damaged by overheating. Pan and basket used in these air fryers are dishwasher safe, but large amount of batter requires a longer cooking time, while little amount of batter would require a shorter cooking time.
The first step is to measure the total cooking area of the oven. The best ovens come with at least 6 quart capacity. One can get oven mims to estimate cooking area based on their measurements. This is available from the manufacturer of air fryers Crux. Buy a pan with the same size of the cooking area, but without the mims. Place a few Crux2.6-quart mims and a half of beef in the middle of the oven.
The second step is to fill the pot with enough water to cover all the contents of the appliance except for the beef. Add onions, potatoes, garlic and salt to the water. Turn on the oven and allow all the ingredients to heat up adequately.
Once the ingredients are fully heated, lower the temperature of the oven and set the timer for a minimum of thirty minutes. The browned layers of the beef will cook quickly. After about twenty minutes, check the color of the beef using the digital thermometer and adjust the temperature as required. When done, place the cooked beef into the basket and leave it to finish cooking for about seven to eight minutes more or you can open the door of the air fryer and give the pot a quick stir.
The third step is to add the parsley and basil leaves and any seasonings to the beef. Cook for around four to five minutes more or until the liquid cooks out completely. At this point, you can serve it with the vegetable garnish if you like or continue to cook the remaining ingredients in the air fryers with the remaining liquids provided. Crawford says that while he prefers the traditional method of frying in butter, he has come to appreciate the healthy taste of the oil extracted from the beef through his own cooking.
For dessert, he recommends a variety of cakes made with crushed pineapple, peaches or apple. Other than that, most people serve their dessert at the table with puddings made using evaporated cane sugar and whipped creme. Some people also enjoy the dessert course served with their meal and enjoy fruit juices, jellies and smoothies. Crawford also recommends cooking a dessert using canned fruits and soft drinks as the hot air around the cans prevents the preserves from melting.
Overall, the Air Fryer makes a healthy and convenient way to prepare fried chicken. The container is dishwasher safe and reusable and the user finds this appliance easy to clean after each use. Amazon also offers a wide range of models including the Amazon Sword, which offers a nonstick surface and a four-season coating. As for price, the Amazon Air Fryer may not be as inexpensive as the competition but it remains a great option for those looking for a versatile, quick cookware that offers good value.
