Upotreba friteze na vruc vazduh prvi put (Using the air fryer for the first time)

Sta je friteza na vruc vazduh?

Kad prvi put koristiš fritezi na vruć vazduh (en. air fryer), deluje kao neka “mini svemirska rerna”, ali je zapravo vrlo jednostavan za korišćenje.

1. Operi delove

Pre prve upotrebe izvadi korpu i rešetku (ako je ima) i operi toplom vodom i deterdžentom. Obriši dobro pre vraćanja.

2. Prazno zagrevanje

Većina ljudi preporučuje da ga prvi put uključiš praznog:

• 10 minuta
• oko 180–200 °C

Može se osetiti blag miris nove plastike ili grejača tokom prvog zagrevanja, što je normalno kod novih aparata.

3. Nemoj prepuniti korpu

Hrana treba da ima prostora da vazduh kruži oko nje. Ako je korpa prepuna:

• hrana neće biti ravnomerno pečena
• neće biti hrskava

Bolje dve manje ture nego jedna pretrpana.

4. Malo ulja znači bolji rezultat

Iako može bez ulja, često je lepše sa vrlo malo, 1 kašičica ili 1 kašika ulja lagano premazivanje ili prskanje. Posebno za krompir i povrće.

5. Protresi hranu na pola pečenja

Kod pomfrita, medaljona (en. nuggets) ili povrća:

• izvuci korpu na pola vremena
• protresi ili okreni hranu

Tako se ravnomernije zapeče.

6. Počni sa jednostavnim stvarima

Najlakše za prvi pokušaj:

• smrznuti pomfrit
• medaljoni (en. nuggets)
• krompir izrezan na štapiće
• pileća krilca

7. Vreme i temperatura nisu ista kao u rerni

Friteza na vruć vazduh obično peče:

• brže
• na malo nižoj temperaturi

Na primer:

• ako recept za rernu kaže 200°C u fritezi na vruć vazduh često je dovoljno 180°C
• vreme se često skrati za 20–30%

8. Papir za pečenje

• prvo stavi papir za pečenje u korpu
• ali OBAVEZNO preko njega odmah stavi hranu da ga pritisne. Poenta je da papir nikad ne bude sam u praznoj korpi dok aparat radi, jer jak vazduh može da ga podigne prema grejaču.
• uključi air fryer

9. Vazduh mora da cirkulise

• papir ne treba da prekrije baš celu korpu bez rupa
• vazduh mora da cirkuliše da bi hrana bila hrskava

Zato mozes koristiti:

• perforirani papir za fritezi na vruć vazduh, ili 
• silikonske podloge sa rupicama.

10. Čišćenje posle korišćenja

Najbolje je oprati korpu ubrzo nakon upotrebe, jer se masnoća tada lakše skida. Mnogi delovi mogu i u mašinu za sudove, ali proveri uputstvo svog modela.

What is an air fryer?

When you first use an air fryer, it seems like a "mini space oven", but it's actually very easy to use.

1. Wash the parts

Before the first use, remove the basket and rack (if any) and wash with warm water and detergent. Wipe well before returning.

2. Empty warm-up

Most people recommend that you turn it on empty the first time:

• 10 minutes
• around 180–200 °C (356-392 °F)

A slight smell of new plastic or heater may occur during the first warm-up, which is normal for new appliances.

3. Do not overfill the basket

Food should have space for air to circulate around it. If the basket is full:

• the food will not be cooked evenly
• it will not be crispy

Better two smaller tours than one crowded.

4. A little oil means a better result

While it can go without oil, it's often better with very little, 1 teaspoon or 1 tablespoon of oil light coating or spraying. Especially for potatoes and vegetables.

5. Shake the food halfway through cooking

With French fries, medallions - nuggets) or vegetables:

• pull out the basket at half time
• shake or turn the food

It bakes more evenly that way.

6. Start with simple things

Easiest for the first try:

• frozen fries
• medallions - nuggets
• potatoes cut into sticks
• chicken wings

7. Time and temperature are not the same as in the oven

An air fryer usually cooks:

• faster
• at a slightly lower temperature

For example:

• if the recipe for the oven says 200 °C (392 °F) in the air fryer 180 °C (356 °F) is often enough
• time is often reduced by 20–30%

8. Baking paper

• first put baking paper in the basket
• but BE SURE to put food over it immediately to press it down. The point is that the paper is never left alone in the empty basket while the machine is running, because strong air can lift it towards the heater.
• turn on the air fryer

9. Air must circulate

the paper should not cover the entire basket without holes

air must circulate to keep food crispy

So you can use:

• perforated paper for an air fryers, or
• silicone pads with holes.

10. Cleaning after use

It is best to wash the basket soon after use, as the grease is then easier to remove. Many parts are dishwasher safe, but check your model's manual.
