The Kitchen Gadget All Over the Internet

The airfryer is a trendy kitchen gadget that people all over the world are catching onto, so I decided to test it. If you don’t know what the air fryer is, it is like a deep fryer except it circulates hot air around the food and uses no oil. There is a drawer with a basket that has draining holes where fat can be collected. You can fry many things in the airfryer from sweet desserts to healthy vegetables.

The first thing I tried were some homemade donut holes, I put them in the air fryer for 10-15 minutes, and they were crispy on the outside and light fluffy on the inside. I would strongly recommend baking in the air fryer. The second thing I tried were some homemade potato chips. They were not as crispy as I would have liked them to be. They were crispy on the borders of the potato chip and soggy in the middle. The potato chips did taste good, but the sogginess ruined the chip. Some of the savory food you fry won’t have the normal color of the foods, with that nice tan color that has just been out of the fryer. I would strongly recommend the air fryer as it is a healthier version of the deep fryer, but not exactly to fry foods - more to replace the baking part. It can not replace a deep fryer, but it can replace and improve on a large oven.
