The air frying pan is one of the innovative devices that invaded modern kitchens thanks to its ability to prepare crunchy foods with the lowest amount of oil, yet not all foods are suitable for cooking in the air frying pan, and we monitor them as follows:
Foods that do not enter the air frying pan
Food covered with a light layer of sauce
Foods covered with light sauces such as fried eggs with sauce or chicken with cream sauce may not be the perfect choice for the air frying, the reason behind this is that hot air may dry up the sauce quickly, which leads to loss of flavor and desired texture.
Foods that need immersion in oil
Foods that need to be completely immersed in oil, such as donuts or fried eggplant, do not give satisfactory results in the air frying pan.
Leafy vegetables
Leafy vegetables such as spinach or cabbage may fly inside the air fryer due to the strong hot air flow, as this may lead to their combustion or uneven distribution of heat.
Foods coated with a thick layer of dough
Foods that contain a thick layer of dough, such as falafel or crochet, may not ripen equally in the air frying pan. Hot air may dry out the outer layer quickly while the inner layer remains not well cooked.
Foods that contain large amounts of melted cheese
Foods rich in melted cheese, such as pizza or fried cheese, may cause chaos inside the air frying.
Melting cheese can stick to the jar basket or fall, which makes cleaning difficult.
Canned food
Canned foods such as beans or preserved corn may be dangerous when placed in the air frying pan.
High heat can cause cans or leakage of harmful chemicals.
Frozen foods without seasoning
Putting frozen foods directly in the air frying pan without seasoning or dissolving them may lead to uneven results, and the outer layer may mature while the interior remains frozen.
