Convection oven instruction manual. Learning to use the airfryer: technical specifications and creativity. The principle of operation of the airfryer

To make cooking easier, many housewives choose new appliances and devices that make dishes tastier and healthier. One of these devices is an airfryer.

With it, cooking has become much easier and more enjoyable, while it does not take so much time. But in order to make the right choice of an airfryer, you need to carefully study the features and characteristics of the technique.

Convection oven: what is it

It is a compact device that can fit in a small kitchen area. The appliance can easily replace a toaster, yoghurt maker, grill and double boiler. The main advantage of the device is that due to the treatment with hot air during cooking, all useful vitamins are retained in the products.

Device device

The airfryer consists of a transparent bowl or flask, which has a stand or lid that covers the entire structure. Inside the cover there is a heating element (tubular electric heater) and a fan, outside there is a control panel.

The budget models of these devices are equipped with halogen heating elements instead of heating elements. The main advantage of such elements is that when heated, the glass of the bowl is not subject to oxidation and corrosion.

But halogen-type heaters have low operating capabilities, and their service life is short. Typically, the operating period for models with this type of heater is no more than three years. For metal heating elements, it is much longer - 8-10 years.

Halogen heating element

In addition to the main elements, there are additional components in the airfryer device:

• lattices that are used for cooking various types of meat - beef, veal, pork, lamb, poultry. There are usually three of them, and they can vary in height;
• often comes with a mesh baking sheet. It may be required for steaming and deep-fat cooking, and you can also dry food on it;
• budget models of airfryer are often equipped with a metal ring. It is installed on top of the bowl and is required to increase and adjust its volume.

Standard device

Convection oven: what is it for

To choose the right airfryer, let's figure out what it is for and what you can cook with the airfryer.

The appliance cooks using streams of hot air that circulates freely in a special cooking container. During the cooking process, the user does not need to constantly turn the food over. Also, no oil is required for cooking, while the food is juicy and aromatic, the dishes are soaked in their own juices and become tender and very soft.

That is, first of all, the airfryer is needed for cooking. He cooks soups, stews vegetables, meat, fish, and can also work as a smokehouse.

Three-tier device

A modern airfryer with a wide range of functions can easily replace a whole list of different kitchen appliances:

• an ordinary gas stove;
• oven;
• a double boiler;
• toaster;
• microwave oven;
• a drying device that is used for vegetables and fruits;
• electric barbecue grill, barbecue;
• yogurt maker;
• the airfryer can be used as a saucepan for preparing first courses - soups, broths;
• as a sterilizer for canning jars.

Features of work

Each model of the airfryer necessarily has a container in the form of a round transparent flask. Its volume can be different - from six to 12 liters.

Let's consider the principle of operation of the device:

• the heated air is accelerated by the fan in different directions;
• first it blows from top to bottom, then from bottom to top. This ensures that food is cooked evenly. It does not burn when baked, browned, stewed;
• depending on the model of the device, the vortex flow indicator can be constant, or it can have several modes. The option with several modes is the most versatile and convenient;
• in some models, glass halogen heating elements are installed instead of conventional heating elements. They are safer, but weaker;
• temperature indicators of the device - from 60 to 260 degrees.

Functions

Different models of the airfryer have distinctive functions. In more modern devices, it is possible to adjust the temperature and blowing speed.

The main functions of the airfryer include the following:

• the ability to regulate the temperature regime. This feature is considered mandatory. It should be in all modern models;
• maintaining the temperature is an additional function with which you can warm up the dish after it has been cooked;
• control of the convection speed - the function is not mandatory, but very useful, it allows you to adjust the level of airflow to the dish during cooking, which affects the final result (you can get an appetizing crust) and cooking time;
• some models have a power-on delay. The function provides maximum convenience when using the device: you can set the timer for the desired time, and the device will turn on when needed, and the food will be prepared for lunch or breakfast;
• the cooking program is a clever feature and is available in many models. Convenient for those who, during cooking, do not want to keep track of the temperature or the time: you can put food in the device, select the desired cooking mode and wait for the result.

Also, some manufacturers equip the device with additional convenient features:

• defrosting food - vegetables, meat, dough, fruits, berries and others;
• drying;
• grill;
• frying;
• bakery;
• smoking.

Depending on the model, the device can be purchased with a removable or bracket-mounted cover, electronically or mechanically controlled. The presence of a timer is one of the new options that the airfryer is equipped with. The instructions for use are accessible and clearly explain how to use it.

Meat and poultry cooked in the airfryer turn out to be very juicy, vegetables do not lose their natural color, and baked goods have amazing richness and a truly magical aroma.

How to cook properly in an airfryer: 10 tricks

1. Each airfryer has its own "character" and specific qualities to which you will have to adapt. At first, you should carefully look after the cooking dish and adjust the timer readings prescribed in the recipe for the particular behavior of your particular device.
2. Cooking is best on the lower or middle wire rack. There, the product will receive optimal processing and will not turn into a crust, as can happen on the upper trellis deck. The pork in the airfryer will be the juiciest and softest if you bake it at the lowest level.
3. Food in the airfryer is processed with hot air currents and the risk of overdrying the food is always very high. That is why experienced chefs recommend that you always add a little water to a glass flask or to the baking dish itself. This will preserve the natural juiciness of all the ingredients and are guaranteed to have a delicious meal.
4. The water added during cooking must be hot. This will speed up the processing and save the electrician.
5. Place food directly on the wire shelf as little as possible. It is very difficult to wash it later from pieces of food stuck to the bars. Better to use a frying pan without a handle or a special baking dish. Breast cooked in a container with a non-stick coating in an airfryer will only taste better and you will not have to worry about cleaning the grill later. Also, classic pots made of heat-resistant ceramics or tempered food glass molds are suitable.
6. Individual dishes, for example, cutlets, can be preliminarily lightly browned on both sides in a frying pan and only then brought to full readiness in the airfryer. After such processing, the dish will turn out to be more delicious.
7. In general, without sunflower oil in the airfryer, it is allowed to cook the same dishes as in the oven. To all other oils, you can add significantly less than during cooking on a gas or electric stove. However, it will not be possible to completely eliminate oil. The fact is that it forms a thin film that does not allow food to dry out and gives food a brighter, richer taste.

Advice: For those for whom the lack of oil is essential (diet, health, etc.), it is recommended to bake food in foil or food bag (at a temperature of no more than 205 degrees). If an ingredient needs a powerful heat treatment, it is worth buying an airfryer grill that can easily withstand high temperatures.

8. To maximize the effect of the airfryer, it is best to cook at a low fan speed. The strongest blowing dries food quickly and leads to the fact that the top crust burns ugly. If you feel that the processing is not going fast enough, try increasing the temperature one step, and keep the fan speed the same. In airfryer with one type of speed (high), it makes sense to cook only on the lower rack or use an expansion ring to increase the internal volume of the bowl.
9. Try not to overfill your Airfryer. This impairs air convection and significantly increases the cooking time. The optimal filling is considered to be 50-60% and it is desirable not to exceed this figure.
10. The device allows you to smoke fish and meat both hot and cold. Mackerel in the airfryer turns out to be very tasty, does not lose its density and does not disintegrate into pieces. For correct smoking, the bottom of the unit is covered with alder chips (usually sold in supermarkets in branded packaging), and the product is lubricated with a special smoking compound.

Bird in the airfryer

Medium-sized (1.5 kg) duck or chicken in the airfryer is whole baked in about 1-1.5 hours at an operating temperature of 250 degrees. It is recommended to cook on the lower rack and turn the poultry to the other side every 30 minutes. Thus, the meat is thoroughly baked, and the crust will turn out to be ruddy and tender.

Larger carcasses are processed at a rate of 60 minutes per kilogram of product weight at an average fan speed. To check if it is ready, carefully pierce the bird with a knife in the joint area. If clear juice is released, then the dish is ready and, having cooled slightly, it can be served on the table.

How to cook vegetables

Regular potatoes in the airfryer are baked at a temperature of 210-220 ° C for 30-35 minutes. Beforehand, the tubers must be rinsed with water, peeled and cut shallowly. Then carefully coat with a mixture of salt, olive oil, paprika and ground black pepper and place on the bottom trellis for processing.

Stuffed zucchini in the airfryer cook in literally a quarter of an hour. First, the vegetables need to be washed, peeled and carefully removed with a teaspoon of the pulp. The resulting boats can be filled with any filling that suits your taste (minced meat, vegetable mixture, cheese and garlic mass, etc.) and placed on the lower grill of the airfryer for 15-20 minutes. The temperature toggle switch must be set to 180 ° C and the average ventilation speed must be selected.

Cooking sweet meals

The curd casserole in the airfryer turns out to be especially tender and airy. It is cooked for 40 minutes at a temperature of 185-205 ° C in a special form under a closed lid on the lowest rack. It is recommended to chill the dessert before serving.

Making a sponge cake in the airfryer is easy. The prepared dough must be poured into a split mold and placed in a unit preheated to 180 ° C. The biscuit is baked on a medium wire rack for half an hour. The temperature does not change during cooking. The finished treat can be greased with sour cream, garnished with fruit or whipped cream.
