Air Fryers have become one of the most popular small appliances in recent years. They help make cooking a variety of foods easy, quick, and healthy! But not all air fryers are the same. Don’t make these 5 Worst Mistakes People Make When Choosing An Air Fryer.
5. Buy An Air Fryer That’s Too Small
When buying an air fryer consider the size of your family. Are you cooking for one, two, three, or more? If you’re planning to cook for one or two people, a small air fryer will work. If you are cooking for a family of 3-4 consider a medium air fryer. If you have a large family or plan on using it for parties, opt for a large-capacity air fryer.
4. Buy Based on Preset Buttons
Just like on your microwave, you can buy air fryers that have preset buttons for particular types of food. If you are planning to cook many recipes that have the preset function such as fries, nuggets, seafood, and steak, then getting an air fryer with preset buttons could be a good option for you. However, it’s not necessary. Presets cost more money. If you don’t need them, don’t buy an air fryer that has them, and save some money.
3. Overspend On Special Features
Some air fryers are multifunctional. For example, you can buy air fryers that double as a toaster oven, dehydrator, rotisserie, and instant pot. If you are also thinking of getting one of these appliances then getting an air fryer with multiple functions will save you money and space! There’s no need to store multiple small appliances when you can get an air fryer with multiple functions. However, if you already have these other appliances, then don’t waste extra money on getting an air fryer with multiple functions.
2. Buy Too Cheap
While cost is always something to consider, don’t buy the cheapest air fryer you can find. Weigh the pros and cons of each air fryer brand. A quality air fryer with basic features will cost around $99.
1. Buy Unnecessary Accessories
Your air fryer comes with everything you need to cook crispy and delicious food. You do not need to buy extra silicone mats, tongs, perforated parchment paper, or anything else. Save your money on the accessories, and instead invest in a quality appliance that meets your needs.
