Air Benefits

So what are the benefits of Air Frying? We've got it all laid out for you.

Very Healthy Air frying gives you the taste and texture of your favourite fried foods, but with way less oil. Air Frying reduces a lot of unnecessary fat and calories to your meal.

With an air fryer, you can achieve the same crispy texture without all the added oil and extra calories. This makes it a healthier option. For most foods cooked in the air fryer, you can simply spray a small amount of oil on the outside with an oil sprayer to achieve a deliciously crispy, golden crust. There are specialty air fryer oil sprays available. 

An air fryer produces crispier results than a standard convection oven in part because it can surround all sides of the food, and partly because the fryer basket enables any fat to drip away making the food drier and crispier.

The other big benefit of using an air fryer is that it lowers the risks associated with consuming acrylamides contained in fried foods. Acrylamides are the by-products of frying and have been linked to some cancers. A study has found that 'air-frying reduced acrylamide content by about 90% compared with conventional deep-oil-frying. Big tick for the Air Fryer!

Safety Matters As air fryers are self-contained devices and, as there isn't a lot of hot fat involved in the cooking process, air fryers are generally safer. There's less concern about splashes and burns, making them perfect for everyone including children and those living with special needs.

Good for the Earth Air fryers don’t use a lot of electricity, compared to 'normal' ovens they have a smaller cooking compartment and a more powerful fan, which allows them to cook food faster and more efficiently. 

Air fryers also require lower amounts of oil, so there is less to dispose of, which is also better for the environment.

Stay Cool Air fryers hold in the heat, so they don't increase the temperature of your kitchen area like a traditional oven does. This trait is particularly useful if you live in a smaller house or apartment.

.. or you're just having an Australian summer!

Fresh Air The minimal amounts of oil required also means that there aren't the strong odors being spread that can result from deep frying.

Space Savers Air fryers are relatively small kitchen appliances, sometimes barely bigger than toasters. Who doesn't love saving some space?

Road Buddy Air Fryers make the perfect companion for cooking on the go, air fryers are easily transportable, so can be used on a campsite, or in an RV or camper when traveling.

Juicy Air fryers circulate air around your food at high heat, they make your food golden brown and crispy on the outside while keeping it moist and juicy on the inside. Chicken, diced potatoes, and sweet treats like cookies are all great examples.

Kitchen Chameleon Air Fryers aren't just for making hot chips, even though they are awesome at this. They have other talents too including being excellent at cooking veggies, meat, fish, and even desserts like cakes. Many air fryers come with additional accessories, such as baking pans or grill grates, that allow you to cook even more types of food.

Fast Air fryers cook food quickly and easily. Unlike traditional frying methods that require a lot of prep and cleanup, the cooking process with air frying is relatively simple. Simply put your food in, set the timer, and you're done (Don't forget your intuition on this too)!

For some foods it’s a good idea to shake the basket once or twice during cooking for optimal results (Refer the the Air Frying Bible for more on this).

Air Fryers heat up very quickly, so you can have a meal ready in just minutes. You can cook up a meal in the time a convensional oven takes to heat up! This makes the air fryer your best friend when you want food now.

Low Maintenance Air fryers are straightforward to use and require very little monitoring when cooking and are simple to clean.

Reheat The air fryer is perfect for giving yesterdays food another life. Leftovers come out hot and crispy rather than soggy, like when you use the microwave. And it's much faster than waiting for your oven to heat up.

Dream Clean Your Air Fryer basket just need a wash with soapy water between each use.

Many air fryer baskets can even go in the dishwasher, making clean up even easier! If you need to quickly dry the basket, simply put it in the air fryer, and turn it on for a minute.

To make clean up even easier, you can line your air fryer basket with parchment paper liners or reusable silicone liners.

Money Saving Air fryers are very energy-efficient. They use less energy than traditional ovens and stovetops, so you can save money on your electricity bill while also reducing your carbon footprint.
