Air Fryer FAQ's
How does an air fryer work?
An air fryer uses a convection mechanism with a powerful fan to circulate hot air around food inside the fryer basket for quicker, crispier and healthier result.
Is air frying a healthier option than deep frying?
Yes. Air frying uses less oil which makes it a healthier alternative to deep frying. Since less oil is used, it reduces cholesterol and fats thus becoming a healthier option for all your favourite fried food.
Do I need to use oil when air frying?
In air frying, oil is not necessarily required but a specific amount can be recommended for some recipes to ensure best result. Spray oil works best as the oil is distributed evenly and less is needed. Canola, olive, avocado, coconut, grapeseed, peanut and vegetable oil work well.
What makes Nutricook Air Fryers different from other air fryers in the market?
Nutricook Air Fryers feature ProCyclone Technology, multi-functional cooking modes, and a durable ceramic-coated, dishwasher-safe basket for healthier and easy-to-clean cooking compared to conventional air fryers.
Is preheating the air fryer required?
If a certain recipe requires preheating or when cooking meats that benefit from an initial hot sear, use the built-in Preheat function. You won’t find a preheating option in many other air fryers. Preheating visibly improves food texture and takes 2 to 5 minutes! That certainly beats the time consuming preheating of traditional ovens.
How do I turn off the air fryer?
To turn the air fryer OFF at any time, simply press and hold the white POWER button.
Does the air fryer cook food evenly?
Yes. To assure even cooking/browning, do not overfill the air fryer basket to allow even air distribution. Always open the basket halfway through cooking time to check the status of the food and shake it. Some recipes may also call for brush or spray oil halfway through cooking.
What type of coating does the Nutricook Air Fryer use?
Nutricook Air Fryers feature a 100% toxin free – ceramic coating, PTFE, PFOA & PFAS free, ensuring safe and healthy cooking.
What is the country of origin of the Nutricook brand?
Nutricook is a brand based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
