Sta je friteza na vruc vazduh? (What is an air fryer?)

Friteza na vruć vazduh (en. air fryer) je kuhinjski aparat koji “prži” hranu pomoću jakog strujanja vrelog vazduha umesto u dubokom ulju.

U suštini, to je mala, jaka rerna sa ventilatorom. Vazduh se brzo zagreva i kruži oko hrane, pa ona spolja postane hrskava, a unutra ostane mekana.

Kako radi friteza na vruć vazduh?

• grejač zagreje vazduh (često 180–200°C)
• ventilator ga brzo kruži oko hrane
• dobiješ efekat sličan prženju, ali sa vrlo malo ili bez ulja

Šta možete da pravite u fritezi na vruć vazduh?

• pomfrit (sa kašikom ulja ili bez)
• piletinu (bataci, fileti, krilca)
• povrće (tikvice, paprika, krompir)
• smrznutu hranu (medaljone, pomfrit)
• kolače ili mafine

Zašto se koristi friteza na vruc vazduh?

• manje ulja, lakše prženje
• brže od rerne
• jednostavan za korišćenje

Napomena:

Ne daje identičan ukus kao klasično prženje u dubokom ulju, ali je vrlo blizu i mnogo praktičnije za svakodnevnu upotrebu.

An air fryer is a kitchen appliance that "fries" food using a strong flow of hot air instead of deep oil.

Basically, it's a small, powerful oven with a fan. The air heats up quickly and circulates around the food, making it crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

How does an air fryer work?

• the heater heats the air (often 180–200°C)
• the fan circulates it rapidly around the food
• you get an effect similar to frying, but with very little or no oil

What can you cook in an air fryer?

• french fries (with or without a tablespoon of oil)
• chicken (drumsticks, fillets, wings)
• vegetables (zucchini, pepper, potato)
• frozen food (nuggets - medallions, French fries)

cookies or muffins

Why use an air fryer?

• less oil, easier frying
• faster than an oven
• easy to use

Note :

It does not give the same taste as classic deep frying, but it is very close and much more practical for everyday use.
