Your Questions, Answered
How do air fryers work?
An air fryer is essentially a high-intensity mini convection oven, Gwen says.
The heating elements emit heat and the fan circulates the hot air all around inside the box.
They come out like the day I bought them, Morales says.
And dont forget about desserts!
It was so delicious and way easier than using the oven, Morales says.
What is the highest temperature an air fryer can go?
Most air fryers will have a range to reach a maximum temperature of between 400F and 450F.
Gwen suggests selecting an air fryer with a high end temperature option for efficient, quick cooking.
What size air fryer do I need?
It really depends, Morales says.
I typically don’t resort to the other features on my appliance and just use my air fryer setting.
