Although the air fryer itself is a very functional device, only properly selected accessories allow you to fully exploit its potential. Thanks to them, you will not only expand the range of prepared dishes but also shorten the time spent in the kitchen and ensure the comfort of everyday cooking.
The foundation is heat-resistant dishes for the Air Fryer, especially in smaller sizes that easily fit into its basket. These allow for the preparation of casseroles, baked oatmeal, desserts, or one-pot meals without the risk of dirtying the device. High-quality glass or ceramics distribute heat evenly, which translates into a better final result for the dishes. This is particularly useful if you use the Air Fryer as part of meal prep. Pre-prepared vegetables, marinated meats, or portioned meals can be conveniently stored in the refrigerator and then quickly reheated in the air fryer without losing flavor or texture.
One cannot overlook silicone accessories, which are absolutely safe for the basket's non-stick coating. Silicone muffin molds, spatulas, or tongs allow you to freely turn and remove food without the risk of scratches. This is a small detail that significantly affects the durability of the device.
Precise cutting of ingredients also plays a key role in Air Fryer cooking. That is why it is worth reaching for knives and cutting boards. Even pieces of vegetables, meat, or fish mean even baking, better texture, and a predictable result – without undercooked or burnt fragments.
Is the Air Fryer healthy? Yes, it allows for a significant reduction in the amount of fat in the diet.
Can you bake cakes in an Air Fryer? Yes, especially in small heat-resistant dishes.
Is it worth buying accessories for the Air Fryer? Definitely yes, they increase functionality and cooking comfort.
What must not be put into the Air Fryer?
You must not put liquid sauces, loose batters, unweighted paper, light ingredients that could be sucked in by the fan, or metal dishes not intended for high temperatures into the Air Fryer, as they may damage the device or cause uneven baking.
Can you put a plate in the Air Fryer?
No, you must not put plates, or any ceramics or glass that are not clearly marked as heat-resistant and suitable for the ovens, into the Air Fryer, as they may crack or damage the device.
Does an Air Fryer use a lot of electricity?
An Air Fryer does not consume much electricity compared to a traditional oven; usually, its power ranges from 1200 to 1800 W, and because it heats up faster and cooks in a shorter time, the total energy consumption is lower than when baking in a large oven.
