The holidays are just around the corner and that means a lot of friends and family gatherings and yes, that usually involves food, who doesn’t love food!
I am one of those that tend to splurge during the holidays and then the first thing on my New Year goals is losing weight.
This year, I want to try a different approach to make my goals a bit more obtainable. While I cannot control what is cooked and served in other peoples homes, I can certainly decide what is cooked in my own home. This year I am opting for a lighter and healthy menu for all my family gatherings.
There are many different items on the usual menu that are definitely not diet friendly. I can’t tell you how many time I’ve heard my Spanish friends and even family members say – Once a year is not a big deal.
While I am not pretending to go on a full diet before the holidays, I want to make sure to add healthy items to my holiday menu. One big thing would be eliminating fried food as much as possible. Don’t get me wrong, I love fried food but my cholesterol not so much.
This year, instead of deep frying anything I am preparing my fried dishes on an air fryer and if you have not tried one of these before, I highly recommend it.
The air fryers like the Avalon Bay Deluxe AirFryer – AB-Airfryer100B 3.7QT Mini Convection Oven is the perfect choice.
I had an Air fryer a while back and loved it, but this unit is a bit different, including the mini convection over feature.
How can an air fryer help me cooking healthier meals?
This handy fryer, not only eliminates the need to add any oil to the food you are “frying”, but it also removes the fat and oil from your food thanks to its fan technology.
You will see all the fat at the bottom of the drip basket, the food is cook through evenly, and the result is a fried dish without the fat. It eliminates the main component that makes fried food unhealthy while keeping all the flavors. This means fewer calories and less guilt!
It’s User-Friendly –
The last thing you need when you are cooking, especially during the holidays, is more stress and having to constantly check and babysit your food.
This air fryer has a large dial on the front of the unit that allows you to customize the 30-minute timer to different settings for different foods with a temperature gauge that ranges from 200-400°F.
Once the time is up, the unit will automatically turn off and will alert you.
Reduce Microwave Use –
Since you can use this air fryer for grilling, baking, roasting, and of course frying, you can reduce the use of your microwave and save time and energy. You can re-heat lots of food in this fryer and you can also roast small portions of meat, so now you can have a single portion that would normally require an oven but you are using your air fryer instead.
Easy To Clean –
Most parts of the Air fryer are dishwasher safe making this kitchen tool an asset for a stress-free cooking experience!
Baking set?
I was amazed to learn that you can use the air fryer to bake. The unit comes with a complete baking set that is great for small baking projects with the kids.
