3 mistakes that make food not crispy and delicious when fried with an air fryer

Put the ingredients that are still wet and not completely drained into the pot.

When you put wet food into the air fryer, the food will be wet and not crispy after frying. The way to dry it is very simple, just use a napkin or paper towel to absorb the water on the food and dry it before putting it in the air fryer. Also, you should not use the air fryer to cook dishes that are coated with flour. These dishes should be cooked by deep frying to make the dish more delicious and attractive.

Ingredients must be completely drained before being put into the pot.

Wrapping the foil too thickly or too tightly around the food

Using aluminum foil to wrap food when using an air fryer is a habit of many women. Aluminum foil helps the spices to penetrate the ingredients better during frying. However, you should not wrap the aluminum foil too tightly or too thickly around the food. This way, the aluminum foil will "isolate" the food from the hot air in the pot, making the dish not only not crispy but also unevenly cooked.

In addition, you can also line the bottom of the pot with aluminum foil, it is not necessary to wrap it around the food.

No cooking oil

Many people think that using an air fryer means there is no need to use cooking oil when frying.

In fact, the air fryer will help reduce the amount of cooking oil used, making the food healthier than deep frying. If you do not use cooking oil at all, the finished product will not be crispy or have the desired golden color. The best way to use an air fryer is to spray or brush a thin layer of cooking oil on the surface of the food before cooking to make the dish delicious and attractive.

Remember to spray/brush a layer of cooking oil on the food.

Above are 3 common mistakes that make the food not delicious and crispy when using an air fryer. In addition, you should also note: You should preheat the fryer for about 3-5 minutes at 180-200 degrees Celsius before frying food.
