Air Fryer Angel Food Cake Churros
DAVENPORT, Iowa (KWQC) - Dietitian Katie Schaeffer, RD, LD demonstrates how to use a newer kitchen gadget, the air fryer!
What can an air fryer be used for?
Cook recipes from scratch, provide friend texture to foods with a fraction of the oil, reheat foods, and cook frozen foods.
Tips on using air fryer:
- Remember to preheat the air fryer
- Use oil on foods unless manufacturer instructions specify not to; some air fryers prohibit aerosol spray cans due to chipping
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket
- Shake the basket during cooking for even baking
- Use a thermometer to test the temperature of food
- Reheat foods in the air fryer instead of the microwave for crispier texture
- Cook foods in a single layer
- Make sure there is at least 5-inches of space around air fryer
