The Holidays are approaching. And we all know what that means: long get-togethers with the family, big meals and… fried food! Lots of fried food.
Following the diet becomes difficult. However, if you want to keep your diet as healthy as possible, an oil-free electric fryer has great advantages. Know which ones!
Electric air fryers
Also known as airfryers, or oil-free electric fryers, they are the appliance to buy for the upcoming festive season.
Risoles, cod fritters, French fries and other Christmas fritters… all this without harming your health. At the very least, mouth watering!
How do they work?
Oil-free fryers use hot air circulation, just like electric ovens.
However, in the case of airfryers, the fan rotates at high speed and uniformly over the food, causing the heat shock to create a crispy surface layer similar to a fried one.
In other words, these equipments allow you to prepare healthier foods, faster and more conveniently, with the same flavor and texture as a normal deep fryer..
Fun fact: electric air fryers use the fat from the food itself to cook it.
Yes, food - including frozen - contains a small amount of fat that does not require any other addition to be "fried".
Even so, you can use a drizzle of olive oil in the airfryer if you want to ensure that the food is crispy, even if it is for example lean meat.
