Has anyone used an Air Fryer before?

Turbocharged

don't think it's a good idea to do it even if that works.

 

 

Airfryer is really good at 'frying' frozen items like chicken nuggets or those CP mexican wings, no need to defrost. Honestly though after using mine all these years I have come to view it as a "turbo oven". It is 33% faster than an oven and produces somewhat similar results, but only half as fast as oil-frying.

 

Of course if you are talking about making fresh frozen meat, not those package types, yes, should defrost.

 

I ever made a swee swee steak in the thing, but since the basket is so small I could only do one steak at a time... [:|]

Washing the fryer net is a chore.

 

Any good tips?

 

Need to soak in hot water and maybe use coconut husk brush to scrub it off. 

 

Usually placed aluminium foil to avoid staining the net.

I guess can treat it as a convection oven, so I guess recipe using convection oven should work ba. Plus minus the temperature and duration to experiment.

Are air fryers efficient?

Because I tried cooking fries for about 13 mins and still not crispy enough.

If I cook longer, will I be wasting a lot of electricity?

- Salmon Fillet  Nvr try b4

- Beef steak  Nvr try b4

- Lamb shank  Nvr try b4

- Prawns  Nvr try b4

- Crab sticks  Nvr try b4

- Chicken wings  see seaweed chicken (e wings must be those frozen ones or pre-processed ones, fresh wings not recommended)

I'm lazy so i oni wash e top part...e oil sink once in a while...lol

 

Anyway a point to note is air-fryer best use on pre-prepared or process food as there is 'oil' in e food to facilitate cooking, if u use fresh food, it will come out too dry unless u apply a layer of oil onto them, but even so it most likely will come out too dry also.

 

Temp i seldom chg, all 200 deg.

 

my 2 cents..

 

 

Thats how i use my air-fryer...

Thanks for the input.

 

Do you incur higher electricity bills after using the air fryer?

It seems that I have to cook longer in order to get the food cooked.

Cooked raw fries for 15 mins but seems doesn't even feel crispy and some fries only the surface is very hot...  :a-bang:

Yes, it does take longer. But not much mess n veri easi cooking.

For fries, i cook 20 mins, but u need to swirl/flip (whatever) them to even out e cookin on e fries. Also u cannot put too much fries. ( for me a 1kg pack of fries need 3-4 rds of cooking)

I guess fries would taste much better when deep fried.

My air fryer is now another occupant on the unused appliance shelf. [:p]

 

The appliances I used regularly is a pressure/slow electric cooker, Samsung 3-in-1 microwave/grill/convection oven and my favourite has to be the induction cooker.
