I finally tried the Air Fryer kitchen appliance — did it deliver perfect fries? - Mercury News
I’m not sure when it happened, but French fries have become one of my 7-year-old’s staples.
Not potatoes — he won’t go near scalloped, baked or stuffed — but golden, crunchy-on-the-outside, feather-soft-on-the-inside fries. My oven version won’t do. And the frozen kind is too salty.
So I recently took the plunge and bought an Air Fryer, the trendy kitchen appliance with marketing claims of making classic fried foods with a teaspoon of cooking oil, to see if it could satisfy the boy and help me make weeknight meals fun. Perhaps indulging in light, low-fat versions of fish and chips or fried chicken could be our reward for eating so much kale.
