Frequently Asked Questions
How Does An Air Fryer Work?
Air fryers work by heating food from all sides and blowing hot air around the entire air fryer, ensuring the food cooks evenly.
Air inside the fryer moves incredibly quickly, even faster than a convection oven!
Because it’s in a smaller space this speeds up the cooking process while ensuring food is cooked evenly.
What Can You Cook With An Air Fryer?
As our article has shown, you can cook practically anything in an air-fryer. The only requirement is that it fits!
However, we believe the best things to cook are chicken (especially coated chicken like wings, nuggets, or tenders), salmon (as it makes the fish incredibly moist and juicy), roasted vegetables, and french fries or other potato dishes.
People hear the phrase ‘gluten-free’ and think of a diet that is restrictive, difficult to keep up with, or just plain bland.
Well, we’re here to say this isn’t the case, especially with an air fryer!
And like other diets that have become popular in recent years, as time goes on we’re sure more gluten-free ingredients will become available.
The biggest appeal of air fryers is that they use less oil while still making food delicious, crispy and healthy, and this is still the case with gluten-free recipes.
