London: Safety experts are sounding the alarm about what not to put in your air fryer. With air fryers becoming super popular in UK kitchens, it’s important to know the risks.
Dr. Richard Anderson from High Speed Training shared some key safety tips. He pointed out that while air fryers are safer than deep fryers, they still have their own set of risks.
He mentioned that understanding air fryer safety can help you avoid accidents and keep your cooking hassle-free. So, what should you steer clear of?
First up, aerosol sprays. They can ruin the non-stick coating. Next, anything with wet batter is a no-go. It won’t cook right and will end up soggy instead of crispy. Lastly, don’t put liquids in there. They can splatter and make a mess.
Dr. Anderson also suggested keeping your air fryer on a worktop near a power socket. If you can, use it in a well-ventilated area and turn on the vent hood. If that’s not possible, just crack a window.
He advised plugging the air fryer directly into the wall and avoiding extension cords, as they can cause power dips and lead to issues.
For extra safety, he shared five tips: cook food to the right temperature, clean the fryer after each use, unplug it when not in use, don’t overfill the basket, and wait to season with salt until your food is ready to serve.
