Air frying has had a huge surge in popularity over the last few years, and it can seem like a bit of an internet craze. But there’s some serious substance behind the benefits. 

These devices have been designed to make things crispy without needing to deep-fry with a whole lot of oil. Using less oil (although we do recommend spraying your basket and food with a small amount of oil) obviously makes dinner a little more virtuous. It’s also less messy (say goodbye to benchtop splatter), plus there’s no worries about wondering how to dispose of your cooking oil. 

Using the relatively small basket instead of large baking or roasting trays is great for reducing the cleanup, too. However, for the best results, you’ll want to avoid overcrowding, so you may need to cook your food in batches.
