We have all seen air fryers take social media by storm , the trend that has completely transformed home cooking. The air fryer is well and truly in its prime as people are switching from their traditional deep fat fryers primarily powered by the largely rationalised concept that air fryers are the healthier option. The air fryer is a kitchen appliance that cooks like an oven by circulating hot air around the food, heating it by convection which transforms your food by adding a crisp exterior using minimal oil, making it a healthier option than a traditional fryer or oven. Below we have highlighted some of the main benefits of using an airfryer.
Using an Air Fryer for Healthier Cooking
As already mentioned above, research shows that air fryers are the healthier option when it comes to cooking your food in comparison to deep fat fryers and even ovens when using oil, fat, butter. But just how much better are air fryers in terms of your health? Well, some brands claim that air fryers can cut fat content by up to a whopping 75%! This is due to air fryers requiring significantly less fat than your more traditional deep fat fryers which can also use up to 5000 times more oil than an air fryer. Studies have also shown that eating a higher consumption of fat has been linked to a number of health issues such as heart disease and stroke. Additionally, deep-fried foods are also extremely high in calories. For people looking to slim their waistline, switching to an air fryer is a great alternative that will aid in your weight loss journey.
Fast and Efficient to Use
We all love the taste of fresh home-cooked meals, however there are often times we find ourselves struggling to get the time to invest in a home-cooked meal. Thankfully, air frying is a faster and more efficient method of cooking due to it eliminating the preheating process and the shorter cooking time of foods as a result of its speedy air circulation mechanics. Some recipes actually take half the time to cook in the air fryer compared to other tools such as ovens! This can be perfect for people who are short of time in the evenings, to whip up a quick, delicious meal which is healthier than traditional cooking methods and much faster.
Easy to Maintain and Clean
One of the main benefits of buying an air fryer is that they are extremely easy to maintain and clean compared to regular ovens. All you need for your air fryer is some warm water with soap and a cloth to remove food residue. Additionally the majority of air fryers are dishwasher safe; however, be sure to check the product description whether or not an air fryer can be safely cleaned in a dishwasher. In addition to the easy clean benefits, air fryers can be purchased in a wide variety of colours, depending on the style of your kitchen. With a simple plug-socket for the air fryer to be used, it gives you the flexibility to place the kitchen appliance in an area which best suits you.

Great for Reheating Food
A benefit often not realised by many customers is the use of reheating food. With the ability to quickly cook food, it also reheats food just as quickly, saving even more time in the kitchen. We would recommend wrapping your food in tin foil which means even less cleaning once you have used the appliance. Additionally, foods will be crisp in the air fryer, returning them to their original cooked state, something that a microwave or an oven would struggle to do.. This is especially true if you are deciding to reheat fried chicken, or any food with breading. Reheating food in your airfryer is fast, easy, reduces leftover waste, and produces great results because your food won’t turn out soggy.
Versatile to Cook Anything You Need
Another benefit of air fryers is that they are incredibly versatile, allowing you to almost cook absolutely anything in them! Steak, chicken & fish are great ways of quickly pulling together a healthy, protein packed meal. Healthier options such as vegetables (and possibly the best roast potatoes you’ve ever had) can also be cooked in the air fryer, allowing you to pull full meals together with just one appliance. Many air fryers also have a number of different settings, allowing you to determine how you would like your food to be cooked. For example our Tefal YV970840 NEW Air Fryer has 9 preset settings, allowing you to cook foods just how you like them.
Purchasing A Refurbished Air Fryer
Purchasing a refurbished air fryer can be extremely cost-effective. The cost-saving benefits of purchasing refurbished appliances is one of the major attractions. Consumers can expect to see on average a 20-80% reduction for refurbished products. Another main attraction is the many environmental benefits, aiding in the transition to a greener world. The creation of new electrical appliances needs the depletion of precious natural resources which also leads to the destruction of natural habitats and other environmental degradation.
