How does the air fryer work?

Cooking with Air Fryers has made it easier to eat healthier without submerging your foods in oil.

Air Fryers cook foods by using a heating element and a fan, and that circulating of heat and hot air is what helps cook the food and crisp it.

Air Fryers can cook with heat as high as 400° Fahrenheit/200° Celcius. Some air fryers may even cook to higher temps.

Why is air frying food healthier?

The only difference with the air fryer versus using a deep fryer is that you don't have to use copious amounts of oil.

Because of that, you are able to make foods that are lower in fats and calories.

If you use oil with the Air Fryer, it is generally used to help create a nonstick surface or to spray lightly on the foods to help them crisp easier.

If you love the taste of fried foods without all of the fats and calories, air frying will be your new favorite way to make all of your favorite fried recipes.

What are the best oils to use for the air fryer?

Even though the air fryer doesn't require oils, you may want to use a light spritz of oils for some of your recipes.

Different oils heat and smoke at different temperatures. Each oil has its own smoking point, and these are good to know when you are using oil on foods in the air fryer.

For example, butter and olive oil both have a lower smoke point than avocado oil. That means you can spray avocado oil on your foods and cook them at a higher temperature without the oil reaching its smoke point.

We've written a detailed post to help you understand more about which oils are best used in the air fryer. To learn more about which oils are best used for the air fryer, check out this post on the Best Oils for Air Fryer.
