The incorrect use of this appliance often results in recipes with a scratchy texture or, worse, in the early destruction of the inner nonstick coating of the basket. But here’s the thing: the key to mastering the appliance is understanding the flow of hot air and equipping the drawer with tools that make it easy to sanitize.

What’s bothersome

Users report that the first use of the Air Fryer often releases a strong odor of factory-heated plastic, requiring an initial empty burning cycle for 10 minutes. Another frequent complaint points to the rapid loss of the anti-stick layer of the basket when cleaned with abrasive metal bushings or sharp aluminum utensils. The retention of moisture under the basket after washing also causes early rusting in the lower fixing screws.

What we left out

We left out the common closed rigid aluminum shapes for oven. They completely block the vertical passage of air through the lower edges of the grate, which strangles the thermal convection system and leaves the food base completely raw. We also do not buy ordinary plastic oil sprayers with a simple drip nozzle, as they do not generate the fine mist needed to cover the food homogeneously, wasting oil.
