The husband and I bought a Philips air fryer a few years ago.
And what an excellent choice that turned out to be! Because we instantly fell in love with it. It is amazing how many delicious air fryer recipes you can make in it.
Far more than the usual fries or roast potatoes, believe me!
We love it.
Air Fryer Fries?
I have been food blogging for over 8 years now and I have seen air fryers pop up everywhere. They are quite popular.
Lots of people use them.
You also might have come across an air fryer on the kitchen counter of a friend or sibling. And I am sure that if you ask them about their experience and favorite air fryer recipes, they will be elated because it is a lovely kitchen device.
A neighbour once asked our opinion about our air fryer. He also wanted to start eating healthier because he needed to lower his cholesterol levels. The main thing he wanted to know was if air fried fries are just as good as the deep fried ones.
How to Use an Air Fryer
It is different, also a tad drier because the fries don’t soak up any frying oil while baking. But the hubs and I really don’t mind.
I can honestly say that – as much as I love deep fat fryer fries – I love air fried fries just as well. Because you don’t end up with a heavy stomach after dinner.
So what was the main reason why we bought an air fryer you might ask?
Honestly, to start eating healthier.
How so?
Is it Healthy?
Because the air fryer uses hot air to cook your food.
It basically works like a conventional oven. The big advantage here though is that you have to use little to no oil.
Most air fryers nowadays can reach a temperature between 122 and 750°F (50 and 400°C). You can go for a small air or family size air fryer depending on how many you are. We have a smaller size air fryer because it is just the two of us here at home.
And that is just enough for us.
Ai Fryers
Lots of brands also sell different types of air fryers.
Some come with accessories like an extra roasting rack or grilling pan. Some accessories you have to buy extra.
What you also get with every air fryer is a little booklet with a bunch of air fryer recipes for you to try out. That is how I started to get to know my air fryer: I tried all of the air fryer recipes in the booklet.
Once I got the hang of it, I started to prepare my own air fryer recipes.
Air Fryer Recipes
If I had to make a list of the 5 foods that I air fry weekly, then this is how it would look like:
- chicken wings
- fries & potatoes
- sausages & bacon
- root vegetables (parsnip)
- stuffed vegetables (bell peppers)
Savory & Sweet
What I wasn’t aware of when we bought our air fryer, was that it is not just for savory recipes.
Soon after that I stumbled upon this Facebook group of a lady who prepared just about anything in hers. Even sweet desserts such as cakes! I wouldn’t have thought of doing that.
But it makes sense though.
It is after all an oven, right!
