The Air Fryer Matters
So I have tested out so many different air fryer’s and I can tell you with certainty that brand matters and so does capacity. The air fryer I used for this is from Amazon, and it will rock your socks without any oil involved!
This electric air fryer has a digital LED touch display which is easy to work with and it also has 7 cooking presets (if you choose to use those) or you can program it yourself. You do not need ANY oil to fry in this! The clean up is as easy as wiping it out!
