An aerogrill is one of the most practical appliances in the modern kitchen, which cooks food quickly and healthily through the circulation of hot air.

Using it correctly significantly improves the quality and taste of food. Here are 10 important tips that will help you use your air grill as efficiently as possible.

1. Preheat

The aerogrill should be turned on and preheated for 2-5 minutes before placing food in it. Preheating ensures even cooking and a better texture.

2. Avoid overloading the cart

When you put too many products in the basket, air circulation is hindered and food may cook unevenly. Arrange the ingredients in layers or use a distance rack.

3. Minimal oil use

Airfrying food requires a minimal amount of oil. It is best to distribute the oil with a spray bottle so that the food is not overly saturated with fat. In general, the airfryer is known as an essential attribute for cooking without oil, although sometimes a small amount of oil can be added to achieve a better texture.

4. Using appropriate utensils

Cookware for aerogrills should be durable and optimized for hot air circulation. Use special metal molds or silicone products that do not block the air flow.

5. Stirring food in a timely manner

If food is left in one position for a long time, it may be unevenly cooked. Shake the basket from time to time or turn the food by hand to ensure that each side is evenly cooked.

6. Selecting the appropriate temperature

It is important to choose the right temperature for each food item. For example, vegetables are cooked more tender at a lower temperature, while meat and poultry require a medium or high temperature for a crispy surface.

7. Regular cleaning of the basket and device

The basket and internal parts of the aerogrill should be cleaned regularly to prevent the accumulation of grease and grime. This will prevent the formation of smoke and unpleasant odors.

8. Avoiding glass covering

Covering food in an aerogrill with aluminum foil or a glass lid is undesirable, as this prevents air circulation and reduces cooking efficiency.

9. Trying different recipes

The Aerogrill isn't just for roasting potatoes or chicken. Try different recipes – bake purees, prepare fish, vegetables or desserts – to make the most of the device's capabilities.

10. Compliance with safety rules

The aerogrill should be placed on a stable surface and at a safe distance from other devices and flammable materials. After use, be sure to unplug it from the mains to avoid the risk of fire.
