In the five or so years that I've been using an air fryer , it has slowly but surely replaced the cooking tasks previously done by my wall oven or stovetop. The air fryer has proven itself capable of cooking all types of food, not just frozen French fries and chicken wings, although it does both of those quite well. The main reason I use my air fryer is for the tasty results -- air fryers give a great crust to foods via fan-powered convection cooking -- but it also takes less time to cook food than with most other methods.
Air fryers are also easy to clean since most feature a nonstick basket that only requires a quick rinse with soapy water, and there is very seldom any food caked on the bottom that needs scrubbing. The air fryer basket also contains any splatter that might otherwise create a mess on the counter or stove. While there are a few holdouts that I still cook in the big oven or on the stovetop, the list grows smaller by the year.
Here are six things I'll only cook in the air fryer from now on. Salmon Just 8 minutes in the air fryer and you have perfectly medium rare salmon. Roasted salmon is a simple, healthy weeknight dinner staple.
It's not difficult to make in the oven, but if you're only cooking for one or two people, the preheating time is a pain in the butt. Pan-seared salmon is great and quick, but there's almost no way to cook salmon on the stove without creating an oily, fishy mess, and you'll have a pan to clean afterward, too. I tried cooking roasted sa.
