Air fryers: Cooking techniques and new glass models

Air fryers are becoming increasingly popular for efficient and healthy cooking. To prepare fried eggs in an air fryer, chefs recommend preheating the device to 205 ºC for five minutes. Using a small, grease-coated container such as a clay pot or mold is essential to prevent sticking. Once the egg is cracked into the greased vessel and seasoned with salt, the process takes less than five minutes.

A new trend in the market involves air fryers with glass baskets. Unlike traditional models, glass versions allow users to monitor food without opening the lid, which helps maintain heat. These models offer advantages such as avoiding Teflon, being easier to clean, and not absorbing odors or flavors. While they require more careful handling due to the lack of non-stick surfaces, they provide a practical way to achieve crispy textures with minimal oil.
