Air fryers are praised for their ability to provide us with a very simple and convenient way to cook food. Well, in addition to its ability to imitate the deep fryer with less than a tablespoon of oil.
The thing is; this is only true if the air fryer is spacious enough to cook for as many as you intend to, otherwise, the appliance will most likely be counterproductive.
“Why”, you ask?
Well, if the air fryer isn’t large enough to cook for your entire household in one session you will have to prepare your food in batches – which takes a lot of time and is incredibly inconvenient. The first batch will cool down while the next one is cooking – every cycle takes about 15-20 minutes.
If you’re thinking about overcrowding a small air fryer in order to cook as much as possible in one session – don’t. The way air fryers cook requires every piece of food to be exposed to the air that circulates the air fryer in order for it to cook evenly. Stuffing the basket will keep streams of hot air from reaching every angle of the basket’s contents – which will increase the cooking time and produce uneven results.
With a large basket or tray, you can really use the space more effectively to make sure that every ingredient cooked in the air fryer gets the attention it needs during a cycle. Furthermore, some large air fryers come with dividers, extra grill-racks or two levels of cooking area.
Dividers are placed in the air fryer basket to keep different foods from touching while cooking, extra grill-racks provide the basket with more space (convenient when cooking burgers, steaks, chicken and kabobs), and some air fryers come with two levels of cooking surface.
Thanks to these solutions you can cook multiple foods at once or large batches of one meal in one session. The extra cooking space may also be enough to hold a whole chicken without breaking its backbone.
Air fryers that come with the rotisserie function can be used to cook rotisserie style chicken. Well, as long as the air fryer is large enough, you can pretty much cook anything – chicken, turkey, pizza, and fries seem to be the most common ingredients.
With the right accessories to accompany your air fryer, you can simplify the process even further – take a look at these 21 air fryer accessories. With the extra space available in your air fryer, you can expect to use a wide variety of different accessories that enable you to use your air fryer in a different way.
What Should I Expect to Pay For a Large Capacity Air Fryer?
Depending on the model, brand, features, functions, and size, an air fryer can cost anywhere between $100-350. The more features and extras you desire, the higher the price will go.
Today there are enough alternatives to ensure that everyone can find something that suits their needs and budget. The list above can testify that the price of an air fryer can differ extremely – even if two air fryers are equally large, the price may still differ. Other factors such as features, functions, production cost, and branding may play a role in this.
How Big of an Air Fryer Should I Get?
Of course, there comes a point where the size of an air fryer may be too large. To avoid under- or overdoing it, I’ve compiled a size and capacity comparison guide for air fryers. This article goes in-depth on the topic.
Here’s a short guide for those of you who can’t be arsed to read an entire article on the subject.
- 2-3 Quarts: Just large enough to cook for two.
- 3-5 Quarts: Most air fryers are between 3 and 5 quarts big. These are capable of cooking for 3-5 family members.
- 5-6 Quarts: These air fryers can cook for a family of 5.
- 6+ Quarts: Can cook for larger gatherings.
How Do Large Air Fryers Work?
To understand how an air fryer can cook faster, produce a crisp surface similar to that of a deep fryer, and cut fat content, we must understand how the appliance works.
An air fryer has two main components and two principles to run by.
- The heating element
- The mechanical fan
The heating element is located on top of the air fryer’s inside and its main purpose is to heat the air that circulates the air fryer’s chamber.
Underneath the heating element (behind it) is the mechanical fan which blasts the heated air at the air fryer’s content, which cooks them.
These two components, in combination with the convection mechanism and the Maillard reaction, are the reason why an air fryer can produce such crispy results without oil.
The convection mechanism is a way of transporting heat – warm air rises and cool air sinks. With the help of the fan blasting hot air to the bottom of the air fryer, this causes circulation.
Now comes the most fascinating part of the air fryer. The Maillard Reaction.
The crispy surface achieved in an air fryer is the result of a chemical reaction, which I think is awesome. The Maillard reaction is a chemical reaction between amino acids and reducing sugars that affects the taste, appearance, and texture of foods that are exposed to it.
Foods undergoing the Maillard reaction create different flavor compounds under the process, as a result, air fried food has a very distinct flavor. The golden-brown crust produced in the air fryer can also be credited to the Maillard reaction.
While it isn’t mentioned as often as the Maillard reaction, there is another process that takes place in the air fryer – caramelization. This process also includes sugar, but instead of reacting with another substance, the sugars break down and transform into brown-colored substances.
Thanks to these scientifically developed methods of browning food, the air fryer can produce results similar to the deep fryer while cutting fat content by up to 80%.
Are Air Fryers Healthy?
The air fryer is marketed as the healthier option, capable of reducing our daily intake of trans fats, calories, and harmful compounds. I decided to do some research on the topic to make sure I understood it clearly enough to make a statement. This is what I came up with
Air Fryers Promote Weight Loss
By reducing the fat content of food, the air fryer can make it easier to lose weight without giving up on your cravings. In comparison to deep fryers, air fryers use 25-50 times less oil.
The Institute of Food Technologists did a study on french fries prepared in the deep fryer contra french fries prepared in an air fryer. The study showed that the air fried french fries contained significantly less fat while still remaining crisp and golden brown.
For every gram of fat consumed we gain 9 calories, which is more than double the amount of calories in a gram of protein and carbohydrates which both contain 4 calories per 1 gram.
Weight loss and a reduced intake of vegetable oils can prevent type-2 diabetes, heart disease, inflammation, and other conditions caused by obesity.
Air Fryers Reduce the Formation of Harmful Compounds
When certain foods are exposed to high temperatures for a long period of time – they may form harmful compounds. Foods that are rich in carbohydrates are known to form acrylamide, a compound linked to the development of various types of cancer.
However, one study showed that the levels of acrylamide were actually reduced in the air fryer – up to as much as 90% when compared to a deep fryer. The air fryer cuts cooking times up to 25% – exposing food to heat for a shorter amount of time can prevent the formation of harmful compounds.
But keep in mind that the air fryer is still the new kid on the block and enough research hasn’t been done to determine every single aspect of it. While the studies that have been done are promising, I can’t recommend that you prepare every single meal in the air fryer as I don’t know how it would affect you.
Air Fryers Can Retain Nutrients Effectively
No method of cooking can preserve all the nutrients in food, there is always some rate of nutritional loss when cooking – some methods deplete food of their nutrients more than others.
Heat and water change the composition of key vitamins in food, however, the process of cooking may also cause some foods to release more antioxidants and minerals. Cooking seems to be a double-edged sword in that aspect.
The air fryer operates on another principle and uses dry heat to cook food – which is less likely to deplete food of its nutrients than methods that use moist heat – such as boiling or deep frying.
Are You Planning to Buy a Bigger Air Fryer or Perhaps Your First Air Fryer? Read This! (FAQ)
How do you clean an air fryer? Cleaning an air fryer is very easy – some components are dishwasher safe, others contain electrical parts and should not be soaked in water. Dishwasher-safe components can also be soaked in a bath of warm water and soap after each session to keep them in mint condition. Avoid using rough brushes when cleaning the air fryer as the components may flake if handled without care.
Do large air fryers consume a lot of electricity? Air fryers aren’t very expensive to run considering the fact that they, oftentimes, only run for a short period of time when cooking. It is rare to use an air fryer for more than 20-30 minutes. In that sense, air fryers are energy efficient.
Is air frying safe for kids? Sure! In fact, my kids never enjoyed eating greens until I introduced them to air fried vegetables – now they have replaced their snacks with air fried vegetables, which seems great to me.
Can a big air fryer replace a microwave oven? Not really, the air fryer and the microwave are good at different things – while the air fryer is quick, it does not come close to the speed that a microwave oven can reach. In addition, the microwave cannot fry food like the air fryer – therefore, they are unique and cannot replace one another.
Do air fryers smell? Air fryers vent air through a hole to decrease pressure inside the chamber and to let out excess heat. The air that escapes the air fryer is somewhat scented but nowhere near the greasy smell that a deep fryer leaves behind. New air fryers may, however, produce a strange plastic smell when used the first couple of times.
Is an air fryer like any other appliance? Air fryers are similar to convection ovens/toaster convection ovens but smaller – they are not exactly the same but there are a lot of similarities.
Conclusion: The Best XL Air Fryers
If you already plan on purchasing an air fryer, please do yourself a favor and buy a large air fryer to avoid frustration further down the road. The difference in price is very small when comparing small and large air fryers, to pay an extra $50 for comfort and convenience isn’t the worst feeling in the world.
The time you will save on it will be worth every penny.
