I’ve been using my air fryer for years now and I’ve learned a thing or two along the way! Here are some of my favorite tips for cooking in an air fryer: First, there is the smaller, pod-shaped air fryer, which is the one most people are familiar with. A pod-shaped air fryer is about the size of a coffee maker and starts at around a 2-quart capacity and typically maxes out at around 7 quarts. It takes up less space on your countertop and is easier to clean than its convection oven counterpart. This is a good choice if you’re making food for a smaller group. If you make frozen food like ravioli or dumplings in your air fryer, you’re definitely going to want to add a bit of oil to prevent dryness. However, most meats don’t need any excess oil, especially if you marinate first. Other frozen foods like onion rings don’t need any added oil as they are cooked in oil before being frozen. If you're craving a sweet treat, but no one else is, you can easily make a dessert without having to waste energy heating the whole oven for one portion, and it also means less food waste,' Laura says.

As a convection oven, an air fryer uses heat to cook food. This electronic appliance has a mechanical fan that circulates hot air at a rapid speed. Hot air circulates the food creating a convection heating effect that cooks the food. However, unlike a convection oven, the air fryer holds the food in a perforated basket, allowing hot air to distribute, cooking the food much faster and evenly.

4. It's healthier than deep-fat frying

Although the air fryer is a great tool to speed up cooking time, the food you make in it isn’t going to taste the same as something you’re deep frying, experts told us. Free yourself of those confines and you won’t be disappointed. Compared to deep-fat frying it is obviously healthier because it has lower fat content," says Jakub. But it can also be healthier than cooking with a conventional oven. If your potatoes are sitting in oil then they will absorb it as they cook. With the air fryer it’s all in the perforated basket: "If there is any excess fat it will drip to the bottom and you don't have to eat it." The biggest difference between an air fryer and a deep fryer is that an air fryer uses little to no oil! Achieve the golden and crispy look and taste that you’re after without any of the added oil and grease. Here are some other important differences:
