Frequently Asked Questions About Air Fryers (FAQs):
While we've been focusing on the Duronic AF34 hot air fryer, here are some common questions about compact air fryers in general to help you better understand how they work and their benefits.
1. How does an air fryer work?
An airfryer works by circulating hot air around the food at high speeds, mimicking the results of frying but with little to no oil. The rapid air circulation creates a crispy layer on the outside while keeping the inside moist, making it a healthier alternative to deep frying.
2. What is an air fryer best used for?
Air fryers are perfect for a wide range of dishes, including chips, chicken, fish, and vegetables. You can also bake desserts like cakes, cookies, and donuts, or even roast meats and prepare snacks like air fryer chips. With versatile settings and the ability to cook without oil, air fryers are great for health-conscious cooking.
3. Can you cook frozen food in an air fryer?
Yes! One of the great things about air fryers is that you can cook frozen food directly without thawing. From frozen chicken to chips, the Duronic AF34 makes it easy to whip up quick meals straight from the freezer.
4. What’s the best way to clean an air fryer?
After each use, allow your digital air fryer to cool down before cleaning. Most parts, like the drawers and trays, are dishwasher-safe. For a deeper clean, wipe down the interior with a damp cloth and avoid using harsh chemicals.
