Making Fried Food Using Air Fryer For The First Time

in Foodies Bee Hive2 years ago
Fried food is always mouthwatering. But what about foods that are fried using the Air Fryer method without oil? Does it still feel the same taste?

First time frying calamari using the air fryer method.

The deep-frying method is quite popular and is used to create delicious fried foods, it has an unbeatable smokey sensation. Coupled with the crispy texture on the outside of the fried food.

But behind the enjoyment of fried foods, there are side effects for health. For myself, I really have stayed away from foods that are served with the deep frying method. Only occasionally just enjoy it.

The last few years have gone viral about the use of an air fryer for frying methods without oil. It's quite interesting to try. I was also curious about the results of the dishes served using the air fryer. Does it taste the same or not?

I've been dreaming about owning this air fryer for a long time. Then I was lucky enough, my two friends @firayumni and @aswita gave me an air fryer in black color as a gift.

I'm quite excited to try out my new cooking utensils. Oh, thanks my best friends for this gift I need!

For an experiment using this air fryer, I will also cook crispy calamari. Stay tuned!

After marinating, cut the calamari into small pieces, which will look like rings.

Set the time on the air fryer to about 10 minutes, or according to the condition of the air fryer itself. Don't forget to preheat the air fryer before use.

THE RESULTS

I am quite amazed by the results of fried calamari using an air fryer. It looks quite crispy similar to using a lot of oil in the deep frying method.

As for the taste, it doesn't have the perfect smokey sensation like the deep frying method. But this is quite worth its to use because it saves cooking oil, and it is also healthier.

I will experiment with other food ingredients to cook using this air fryer. I am grateful to have one more piece of equipment that is quite useful for me. Once again, thanks to my friends for this wonderful gift. I love you guys!

I hope you guys enjoy my activities about trying new tools this time. Until next on my food blog, HIVE LOVERS!

It looks like you presented for Australian chief... Amazing

I always learn how to plate from YouTube. Im glad if you like my presentation then :)

You finally got the air fryer! Mine's seldom used. Lol. It's quite bulky and I have small space in our kitchen. The last time I cooked something breaded in the air fryer was chicken nuggets and my kids didn't like it. They said it was hard. 😂

Hm, I think you need sprinkle oil on the top of your ingredients so they didnt turn out hard :)

Yeah, I think so too. I'll definitely spray some oil next time.

You have to. Don't forget to add more time if the results is not good 😂

It looks like your calamari turned out really well. I wonder what makes the smokey flavor in the traditional fried calamari.

I have thought about getting an air fryer, but I wasn't sure how much I would use it.

Nice smokey flavor comes from deep frying method, using crazy amount of oil 🤭

It looks very yummy and also presented very well... @anggreklestari
I also posted procedure of making Rich protein choclate milkshake tiday please have a look and present it by your way so that it can reach to more people's... 🤗
