“What the heck is an air fryer anyway? Glad you asked! The air fryer is a unique countertop electric machine that uses circulated hot air to bake and grill foods. It’s nothing like an electric deep fat fryer that you fill with cooking oil. Instead, the air fryer requires no deep vat of oil at all; just spray light amounts of cooking spray on foods and insert them into the machine. Because you use very little or no cooking oil, you can create healthier meals without all that extra fat.”
