Air fryers have become a common kitchen appliance in many households. However, during the use, many people encounter the problem that the fried food is not crispy or delicious.
If you are in this case, do not blame the air fryer. It is likely that you do not know how to use the air fryer correctly. Here are 3 mistakes when using an air fryer that make fried food not crispy. Please refer to it so that you can cook more delicious dishes.
The ingredients are still wet when put in the pot
If the food is still wet when you put it in the air fryer, the food will not be crispy after frying.
So, remember to drain the ingredients completely before putting them in the pot. You can use a cloth or tissue to soak up all the water on the food before putting it in the air fryer.
For dishes that are battered, you should not use an air fryer to cook because it will not be as delicious and attractive as deep-frying.
Covering the food with too thick or too tight aluminum foil
Using aluminum foil to cover food helps the spices penetrate the ingredients better during frying. However, if you wrap the aluminum foil too tightly or too thickly around the food, it will cause the food to be “isolated” from the hot air in the pot, causing the food to cook unevenly and not crispy.
Therefore, just wrap one layer of aluminum foil around the food and don’t need it too tightly. Or you can also line the bottom of the pot with aluminum foil instead of wrapping it around the food.
Do not use cooking oil
Many people often do not use cooking oil when frying food with an air fryer, so the finished product will not be crispy or have the desired golden color. Therefore, for the food to be delicious and attractive, you should spray or brush a thin layer of cooking oil on the surface of the food before cooking.
In addition to the above 3 mistakes, you also need to note that you should preheat the air fryer for about 3-5 minutes at a temperature of 180-200 degrees Celsius before putting the food in to fry.
