5 reasons why the AirFryer is a jewel

No, still no commercial affiliation

Around 2020 I was touting the merits of the Optigrill.

In the meantime, a miracle has come along: a device 100 times better. It looks like it was purposefully designed for those who don't have the time, desire or skill to cook.

In the Body Engineering community, the device generically called Air Fryer has been used intensively for the past 3 years – and still going strong.

✅ WHAT IS AN AIR FRYER?

It is a kind of smaller-size electric oven in which you can cook food in an extremely simple manner. Everything in record time without knowing how to cook.

It has a kind of drawer with a handle, you put the meat there, press a couple of buttons and everything is cooked in 10-15 minutes.

✅ SAVE TIME

What I like most about this device is that everything is done extremely quickly.

A classic oven needs 20 minutes to reach the temperature of 200 degrees Celsius.

When it comes to the Air Fryer, the air is heated in a few seconds to 200 degrees Celsius and then it is strongly ventilated.

With an Air Fryer, within 20 minutes you've eaten, you've cleared the table and already on your way.

Here is a plate with 4 hamburger patties I bought from Lidl (Culineea).

When I get home exhausted and I don't feel like doing anything else, I simply take out the 4 frozen patties, put them in the AirFryer at 200 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes.

Then it takes me 2 more minutes to cut some tomatoes and cucumbers. I then go take a shower.

When I’m done with the shower, that’s usually when the Air Fryer gives me the ring: the meal is ready.

I then get to have a hot meal with 60g of super delicious protein without doing anything special. Everything is ready in 3 minutes.

✅ LOSE WEIGHT

The Air Fryer is a very interestingly designed device. At the bottom it has a grill where the fat drains.

Basically, any piece of meat you cook in the AirFryer will have fewer calories within 10-15 minutes. The reason is simple: the fat gets drained.

I often say I leave the meat to "drain". Watch the video below.

After having 1 kg of Adana Kebap the previous evening, one day I was surprised to find 262g of drained fat.

If I had cooked them in the oven or in a pan, some of that fat would have remained in the meat and gone inside the body.

Every time I put meat in the Air Fryer, fat drains into the tray. Dozens of kilos of lard are collected over the year.

Here is another smart method by which you can do calorie restriction without effort.

✅ CLEANING

We all know that one of the reasons why we cook less often is that we have to clean up afterwards.

I love the eating, but I hate the cleaning.

The problem with the oven is that the pan often splashes, and the tray has to be washed.

You have other more important and urgent things to do in the evening, such as getting the kids washed up and put to bed, not cleaning up the kitchen.

Another reason why such a device is a gem is that it does not have to be washed after each use, but only once a week if you use it daily.

✅ BE CAREFUL ABOUT BEING CARELESS

When you have small children, you know what it's like in the kitchen. You have to keep an eye on them.

When I was little, I pulled on a cord and a kettle fell on me, melting a plastic blouse on my chest and burning my left hand.

The burn scar reminds me to be extremely vigilant when I have the children in the kitchen.

Surely it has happened to you more than once to forget something on fire and turn the kitchen into a smoke-filled room. That will not happen with the AirFryer.

It turns off by itself after 15 minutes. Safety first. Impeccable.

✅ WHAT AIRFRYER DO YOU USE / RECOMMEND?

I have tested many models in the past 4 years and the device I use now I consider to be the sweet spot between price, quality of materials, volume and functionalities.

You can, of course, buy any similar device, they all work the same. And no, I don’t have any commercial affiliation with any kind.
