Air Fryers can truly revolutionize your kitchen. These nifty gadgets are small enough to sit on your kitchen counter, but they are capable of turning out the crispiest of fried chicken and chips. Even better, they can do this in a fraction of the time it takes in the oven, and without using nearly as much oil as deep fat fries, which could mean healthier and faster dinners. You should think of air fries as many convection ovens. The food goes in a tray or basket, ideally in a single layer, and then the machine gets to work. A heating element provides the heat needed, while a fan distributes this around the food, helping it to cook quickly and evenly. Between the heat and the drying effect of the fan, the food will become crispy like it's been fried, even though you've only used a tiny bit of oil in the cooking process.
