No one can deny fried food is delicious. French fries, chicken nuggets, corndogs, onion rings, fried shrimp… Just reading the name of some fried foods can be mouthwatering.
However, we all know fried food isn’t healthy for us and that’s another reality that can’t be denied.
The oil used to fry food might not be bad in small quantities but regular fryers use a lot of it, which can lead to clogged arteries, high cholesterol, heart disease, obesity and more.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could cook fried food in a healthier way?
This is where air fryers come into play.
When it comes to frying food in a healthier, easier, faster way, air fryers are the best option you can find. These appliances work by superheating the air surrounding your food, which not only reduces the amount of time you spend cooking but also the amount of oil you use in your recipes.
In fact, it’s not uncommon to use your air fryer to get oil-free fried food, which is a sentence that didn’t even existed before.

5. 7 Things to Cook in your Philips Air Fryer
While 7 things might not sound like much, particularly when compared to some of the links we’ve already shared, this is a website you can’t miss.

The author of this article includes 7 recipes that she has cooked with her air fryer and shows us the results, as well as how easy it was to follow the recipes.
I love anecdotal recipes because, usually, the people writing them also write about the setbacks they faced while cooking and how they managed to overcome them. Not only that, but they offer small tips on how to improve the taste of the food, based on their own results.
I’ve found that anecdotal recipes are wonderful for beginners and the ones included in this website are no exception.
