our second chef coming from italy and his favourite way of making french fries, meatballs and other dishes is using air fryers. his name is giovanni and he strongly believes that cooking with the best airfryers (migliori friggitrice ad aria in italian) like philips, ariete, moulinex, makes anyone healthier. that’s what he has to say (he doesn’t speak english, sorry, only in italian! 🙂 ):
rispetto alla frittura profonda, la friggitrice ad aria è un’alternativa più salutare: l’utilizzo della cottura a convezione anziché dell’olio significa che il cibo finito contiene meno grassi e quindi meno calorie. tuttavia, la friggitrice ad aria ha alcuni aspetti negativi, quindi dovrebbe essere considerata come parte di una dieta equilibrata.
per quanto riguarda le ricette, la friggitrice ad aria è uno strumento eccellente non solo per preparare i piatti tradizionali preferiti, ma anche per sperimentare. l’umile cavolo è un ottimo punto di partenza. come abbiamo già detto, è possibile ottenere una consistenza e un sapore simili a quelli delle tradizionali prelibatezze fritte con la funzione air-crisp per patatine fritte e patate arrosto fritte all’aria, usando molto meno olio. lo stesso vale per gli alimenti rivestiti che si desidera rendere croccanti all’esterno, come il pangrattato. scoprite la nostra raccolta di ricette di friggitrici ad aria per avere un po’ di ispirazione per le verdure e il pollo fritto all’aria.
nei modelli di fascia media, le funzioni di cottura sono spesso un’opzione con accessori antiaderenti. in questo modo si possono preparare torte economiche, ricette di torte classiche e opzioni free-from per chi ha esigenze dietetiche. la pelle di frutta è un modo eccellente per sfruttare al meglio la funzione di disidratazione se si dispone di un frullatore a mano, di un frullatore o di un robot da cucina, oppure per un tocco di umami provate a disidratare pomodori o funghi.
if you are looking to buy yourself an airfyer (friggitrice ad aria) you can follow his recommendations on page what to consider when buying an air fryer. again, the text is written in italian (time for you to learn a new language!).
