Can You Grill Food In An Air Fryer?
By WENDY LEIGH
Air fryers have become hugely popular in recent years, due in large part to their ability to dish out many types of table-ready foods in minutes. Frying isn’t the only cooking method this appliance has mastered; it can perform at least three other primary cooking techniques, including grilling.
A countertop air fryer sufficiently replaces an outdoor grill, and allows you to generally cut cooking times in half. Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for increased charring potential, then reduce the heat slightly before adding room-temperature food that’s been sliced into equal pieces.
As with any cooking appliance, it’s important to properly clean your air fryer to reduce the danger of foodborne illnesses and cut down grease contamination. You should also use a food thermometer to check internal temperatures, the same as you would when grilling outdoors or baking in a traditional oven.
