Less Clean-Up Compared to Traditional Frying While the shelves are easy to remove and clean, any spillage or crumbs that may accumulate within the tiny crevices of such models can be hard to remove, making maintenance a labor-intensive process. 2. Potential for Accidents

Consider lining the drip tray with parchment paper or aluminum foil to make cleaning a breeze after each use. You can match or sync these two drawers to make sure all elements of your meal are complete at the same time. With all that going on, it's no wonder that this air fryer is the best Ninja appliance on the market right now. Even steak and glazed fish reheat well in an air fryer, giving you a broiler effect without turning on the oven.During our in-house testing process, the first thing we always try in an air fryer is chips, usually of the homemade variety. And that's not just because it's a great air fryer go-to thanks to how fast they cook, but it also allows you to see all of the benefits of using one of these appliances. These clever appliances can achieve the same as an in-built oven can, though they do tend to be smaller in capacity. Our dedicated feature on air fryers vs ovens has all of the details you need on the main differences and similarities. An air fryer with shelves ensures even doneness and efficient cooking, whether you’re making a juicy, steakhouse-style burger or a tender filet of salmon with a tangy mustard glaze. Dehydrating and Preserving While the traditional methods have their pros and cons, the main reason newer methods were developed is for safety reasons.

Although air fryers are primarily designed for frying without oil, many models now include additional functions such as grilling, roasting, and baking. Some even come with presets for cooking popular dishes with the push of a button. Look for easy-to-use controls for both temperature and time, as these are the most important features on any air fryer. Auto-stop and keep warm functions can be useful but chips, if left for any amount of time will soon lose their crispness. More expensive machines will feature touch screens rather than dial controls, which will help with accuracy. Though air fryers generally consume less energy as compared to conventional deep fryers or ovens, those with shelves may require more energy to function optimally. Despite the confusing name, an air fryer is not actually a fryer and it also doesn’t fry your food. It is basically a countertop convection oven that works in a specific way to mimic deep-fried foods. More people have air fryers compared to dehydrators and it honestly makes sense that you would want to use it to dry food. Air fryers are extremely versatile pieces of cooking equipment whereas dehydrators only have one function.

After soaking, use a non-abrasive sponge or cloth to wash the basket and air fryer pan and allow it to air dry. Once satisfied with their cleanliness, rinse them thoroughly under running water and allow them to fully air dry before reassembling them in the air fryer. 4. Clean the Air Fryer Interior If however, you don’t think you’ll get much use from the steam and grill functions then it may be unnecessarily bulky. Given the capacity it’s fairly priced, especially if it's going to be used by a whole family. With a dry cloth or brush, carefully remove any debris that may have adhered to the heating element during use. Avoid scratching or poking the element, as this may cause damage. 6. Wipe Down the Exterior However, keep in mind that the contents inside the air fryer still get hot. Be careful to use oven mitts or heat-safe gloves when opening an air fryer during the cooking process.
