Air Fryer Hacks

Let's be honest: it's basically just a tiny, incredibly aggressive convection oven. But if you use it smartly, it saves you oceans of time.

01

Tofu

Forget the frying pan. Pat your tofu dry, toss it with a teaspoon of cornstarch, and throw it in the basket. 15 minutes at 200°C for the crispiest cubes you've ever had.

02

Reheating Takeout

Soggy fries or leftover pizza? Don't microwave it. 3 minutes at 180°C in the air fryer and it's crispier than when it was delivered.

03

Boiled Eggs

Yes, really. No water needed. 120°C for 12 minutes gives you the perfect soft-boiled egg, straight out of the drawer.

04

Roasting Spices

Roasting nuts or spices is ridiculously easy: 5 minutes at 160°C. Just make sure to shake it, unless you want your kitchen smelling like burnt cumin.
