Chefs and food experts share their picks for foods that don't belong in an air fryer.
Because of the name"air fryer," people often assume that this appliance cooks things similarly to how you'd fry something up in oil. Or they may look at the small machine and think that it can work in the same way as something like an oven or microwave. But the air fryer works in its own unique way by blowing hot air around to cook your food, meaning there are some delicate items that will get destroyed if you try cooking them with this method.
For instance,"Light, flaky pastries such as filo or puff pastries can end up blown around and deformed by the powerful fan inside the air fryer," says Zoey. If you're going to be cooking a pastry item, or warming one up, you're far better off popping it into the oven.The air fryer isn't a great cooking method for foods that require delicate techniques, as this way of heating food is made to be quite intense in order to cook food quickly.
"It's messy and the batter won't set," said Chef Nik."You won't receive that crunch when it's fried in traditional oil." Instead of dipping foods—like chicken— in a wet batter, make a healthier breadcrumb coating instead. Dip the chicken into eggs and coat it in breadcrumbs before placing it in the air fryer.
