First introduced by the Phillips Corporation in 2010, air fryers have exploded in popularity over the past five years and research indicates approximately 50% of US households own one. Air fryers utilize the circulation of hot air within the main compartment to cook food that resides in a basket that is easily placed into and removed from the unit. The temperature range of an air fryer is typically between 180 to 400 degrees. Air fryers can “air fry’, bake, roast, and reheat as well. Anything you can cook in a conventional oven, you can cook in an air fryer. The best thing about air fryers? They preheat quickly and reduce conventional oven cooking times from 50% to 70%.
