What is life without a little deep-fried food to go along with it, right?

While science is constantly devising new ways to maintain and improve public health, the love for fried food remains intact.

One such innovation happens to be the Air fryer.

Air fryers work with very little oil, but are designed to maintain most of the taste, texture and flavour of fried food.

The main advantage of using an air fryer is the reduced oil content in “air-fried” food, in comparison with regular deep-fried food.

While nothing can really beat the crunchiness and flavour that deep-frying imparts, air fryers can definitely work as a healthier alternative.

How does an air fryer work?

An Air fryer works by circulating hot air (up to 200 degree Celsius)evenly through food which helps in the cooking process.

A heating element close to the food generates heat radiation required to cook, while an exhaust fan above the heating element ensures even circulation of hot air through the food.

Temperature and timer controls are usually provided to set the duration and temperature at which your food is cooked, based on how crispy or cooked you need your food to be.

How much better is “air-fried” food?

Besides taking up a large space in your kitchen, air fryers can be pretty expensive too.

Though air fried food cannot match the taste and texture of traditional deep fried food, it definitely helps you save the extra carbs and calories that come with oil-dipped fried food.

While deep frying, oil dehydrates the surface, thus imparting a brown and crispy texture to food, which air fryers cannot achieve.

Regardless, air fryers are a healthful alternative when it comes to deep-frying any day.

Things to consider before purchasing an air fryer

If you have made up your mind to bring home an air fryer, there are certain things you should ponder over before you take the plunge.

The space it occupies on your kitchen counter

Most air fryers are bulky, and take up considerable space on your kitchen counter.

Before picking an air fryer, or any other equipment for that matter, it is very essential to check its footprint and if you can freely accommodate it in your space.

Capacity

Another important thing to check before considering an air fryer is the amount of food that it can cook in a single serving.

If you have a large family and you need to cook multiple servings of food each time, you may have to look for an air fryer that matches the capacity of your family.

Performance

This is needless to say, but you must compare performances while choosing the air fryer to best suit your needs.

Comparing quality of cooked food, taste and texture differences, will help you effectively narrow down your choices.

Ease of operation

Most air fryers have the option to set a desired temperature and time for cooking.

While basic air fryers have temperature limits of up to 350 degrees, there are others that allow cooking at higher temperatures.  It is very important to choose an air fryer that matches the temperature range needed for foods you intend to cook.

Some air fryers come with additional settings, and it is crucial that the system is easy to understand, and has a good display system.

Ease of cleaning

The importance of this point cannot be emphasized enough.

If you use your air fryer regularly, it will require a lot of cleaning. Most air fryers are dishwasher safe these days, and thus have made the cleaning process much simpler.

Regardless, an air fryer that is easy to clean will save you a lot of energy and time.

Wattage

In order to ensure that your air fryer works properly, you must make sure that your kitchen outlet supports the wattage on the air fryer.

Now that you have an idea of what you should be looking for, here are our top fifteen picks for the best air fryers of 2018.

Stove & Brick has been well known in building top-quality home and kitchen products. Whether you are a health-junkie or a mom cooking for her family, this brand is a wonderful choice to turn to for all your needs.

Build

The product has dimensions of 13.3 x 12.3 x 11 inches and a weight of 10.36 pounds.

With the easily removable and square shaped cooking basket, cooking and cleaning is a breeze.

The basket has a non-stick coating that is made up of safe and non-toxic organic silicone resin, and the fryer features a basket support tab at the back of the liner basket.

The bracket/tab is essential to support the weight of heavy food being cooked and prevent the cooking basket and the liner basket from being in contact with each other.

The need for vents is eliminated using the unique air flow design of the cooking basket.

Also the extra-large, beautiful LCD screen display adds to the aesthetics and ease of operation of the appliance.

Performance

The Stove & Brick Air Fryer uses hyper-convection air technology that uses less time, to create a deliciously crisp texture on the outside and yet maintain a soft and juicy texture inside.

Unlike regular microwave cooking that causes food to dry out, this technology makes sure food is cooked evenly, outer layer is crisped beautifully and the juiciness of food remains intact.

This is a great oil-free alternative to enjoying a wide variety of foods ranging from fried food, vegetables, meat and is perfect for vegetarians and vegans too!

The quick pre-heating this device allows for reduces one-third of the cooking time when compared to a normal oven.

Also, when compared to other Air fryers, this one is noticeably quiet!

Ease of use

This device has a great, extremely intuitive sensor touch panel, and large buttons, which makes it easy to understand and fun to operate.

While the basket has a non-stick finish, the finishing is PFOA and PTFE free, thus eliminating the need to worry for health hazards.

Unlike other air fryers the power cord is retractable and about 40 inches long, thus making it easy for you to set it up in a location of your choice.

The device is loved for its great display, ease of operation of the user interface and its quiet working.

Also, there are 6 pre-programmed functions for common recipes and a defrost function for quick defrosting of frozen food!

The cooking basket incorporates an easy air flow system, and is detachable thus making it easier to handle and clean.

The quick pre-heating feature saves time and energy, and gives you faster and more efficient results.
