Or savoring flavored potatoes without being deep-fried. The air fryer is not a major invention but it has certainly made the lives of many people and\u00a0food trucks\u00a0better. It revolutionized a cooking style with health benefits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">William Maxson, an American industrialist, resigned from the navy in 1935. As he settled in New Jersey, he was growing cauliflowers in his family garden. Because he grew more than what the family could eat, he decided to freeze the extra yield. He started experimenting with heating this frozen food. That is how he invented the convection oven in 1944.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maxson\u2019s convection oven was used by the Naval Transport Service. To replace cold sandwiches during their flight, blue plates with half-cooked meat and vegetables were frozen. The meals were then heated in the air before they were eaten.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2010, Philips Electronics Company introduced the first air fryer in the market. With the motto, \u201cInnovation and Growth,\u201d they claimed that air-fried dishes have 80% less fat.\u00a0Since then, air fryers have started to conquer many kitchens. These include food carts and\u00a0mobile trucks. <\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"border: 3px solid; padding: 10px; width: 100%; border-radius: 25px; border-color: #F4A70F; color: #007bff;\">\n<strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #007bff;\">What&#8217;s Inside<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"#benefits\"> What is an Air Fryer?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"#bestrecipes\"> Benefits of Air Frying<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"#bestrecipes1\"> Easy Air Fryer Recipes<\/a><\/li>\n<li>\n<ul>\n<li><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"#bestrecipes2\"> Chicken Tenders<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"#bestrecipes3\"> Cinnamon Sugar Doughnuts<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"#bestrecipes4\"> Meatballs<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is an Air Fryer?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><b><\/b><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An\u00a0air fryer\u00a0is a countertop convection oven. It is designed to imitate deep frying without the use of oil. Air frying follows the principle of the\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Maillard_reaction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maillard reaction<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A fan circulates high-speed hot air to produce a crisp layer of food through a browning reaction. The temperature can be as high as 250\u00b0C, depending on the air fryer model. Cooking time is also reduced by 20% or more than regular frying.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most air fryers available in the market today are equipped with temperature and timer adjustments. They also have a basket that sits on a deep tray where food is typically cooked. Like standard convection ovens, air fryers can also bake, cook dry food, roast, or steam. Some air fryers have extra accessories for grilling, pizza pans, and skewing.<\/span><br \/>\n<b><\/b><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Benefits of Air Frying<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><b><\/b><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Counter space is an essential part of a food truck. Such a space saver allows more area for cooking and food preparation. An air fryer can make a good room among counter spaces. Mobile trucks can use an air fryer instead of messy deep fryers. Besides taking less space, they are also easy to clean.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Air fryers also cook food quickly. They can reduce regular frying time by 20% or more, making it possible for you to expand your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usedvending.com\/blog\/food-truck-menu-ideas-new-owners\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">food truck menu<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Moreover, it will be easier to serve a large number of customers in a small amount of time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nobody can argue that cooking food in an air fryer is healthier than deep-frying. Even though they have similar flavor and texture, air-fried food has less fat and oil. For instance, frozen French fries cooked in an air fryer contain only 4 to 6 grams of fat per serving, while deep-fried fries have a whopping 17 grams of fat per serving. Meanwhile, a 100 gram battered and fried chicken produces 13.2 grams of fat, while the same serving of air-fried chicken only has 0.39 grams of fat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"uv-lst\" data-category=\"20\" data-count=\"6\" data-type=\"new\"> <\/div>\n<h2><strong>Easy Air Fryer Recipes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><b><\/b><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Air fryers are often touted to shave calories and fats from classic food.
