Question:
What would be the benefit of having an air fryer?
— Eugenie Drayton
Answer:
In air fryer, um, is a, uh, it's a, it's just a small, you know, stove top, um, you know, uh, an emphasis on small, uh, appliance, um, which allows you to do multiple things, um, you know, like, um, um, um, uh, roasting and like saute, um, you know, without, uh, cranking up a bigger oven, uh, which could be less efficient. Um, so when it comes to especially smaller quantities, you know, some of these, uh, smaller stove or, or I should say, countertop appliances, whether it's a, an air fryer, um, you know, or a a a kind of a toaster ovens, uh, you know, appliance, uh, these scenes can be really, uh, efficiently used. And, and once you learn to use them, uh, you can, uh, produce some, uh, beautiful meals, um, out of, uh, these small appliances. And so it's all about developing your skills, uh, in cooking and your knowledge around food handling and practicing, you know, the use of these appliances. Um, so, uh, you know, in terms of a formula that translates to, uh, an oven, I, I don't have a particular formula. Um, uh, you might check online to see if, you know one else does. Um, I would also sus suspect that if you do find, you know, some someone's formula, that you're still gonna have to do some practice, uh, in your own kitchen based upon your own style of cooking to see how one appliance translates to the other. Okay? And again, this is where I recommend taking notes, uh, and, um, you know, compiling your own customized cooking guide for you and your kitchen. That's what I do, and it works really well. All right. Thank you.
