Step-by-Step Cooking Adventure
HotDog 🌭
First up, I tried cooking hotdogs. These are a staple snack, and I wanted to see if the air fryer could give them that perfect crispy outside while keeping the inside juicy.
Instructions:
- Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (356°F).
- Place the hotdogs in the basket, making sure they are not overcrowded.
- Cook for 5-7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
Results:
The hotdogs came out perfectly browned and had a nice snap when bitten into. The air fryer aced this first test!
French Fries 🍟
Next, I moved on to French fries. Achieving a crispy exterior with a soft interior can be tricky, but the air fryer promised great results with less oil.
Instructions:
- Cut potatoes into thin strips and soak them in water for 30 minutes.
- Drain and pat dry the potato strips.
- Toss the potatoes in a little oil and season with salt.
- Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (392°F).
- Place the fries in the basket and cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking every 5 minutes.
Results:
The fries were crispy, golden, and delicious. This was definitely a success!
Cheese Roll 🧀
For a cheesy treat, I decided to try cheese rolls. These are typically gooey inside with a crunchy exterior.
Instructions:
- Roll cheese sticks in egg wash and coat with breadcrumbs.
- Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (356°F).
- Place the cheese rolls in the basket and cook for 5-6 minutes.
Results:
The cheese rolls turned out crispy on the outside and perfectly melty on the inside, making them an instant hit!
Pork Liempo 🥓
Moving on to something more substantial, I tested pork liempo, hoping the air fryer would render the fat and create a crispy crust.
Instructions:
- Season pork belly strips with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices.
- Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (392°F).
- Place the pork liempo in the basket and cook for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through.
Results:
The pork liempo was beautifully crispy on the outside and tender inside. The air fryer did a fantastic job here!
Chicken Thigh Part 🍗
Chicken thighs can be tricky as they need to cook through while staying juicy and getting a nice crispy skin.
Instructions:
- Season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and any preferred seasoning.
- Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (392°F).
- Place the chicken thighs in the basket, skin side up.
- Cook for 25-30 minutes, checking for doneness.
Results:
The chicken thighs came out perfectly cooked with crispy skin and juicy meat. Another win for the air fryer!
Chicken Rotisserie 🐔
Finally, the ultimate test: a whole rotisserie chicken. This would really push the air fryer to its limits.
Instructions:
- Season a whole chicken with your favorite herbs and spices.
- Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (356°F).
- Place the chicken in the basket and cook for 45-60 minutes, turning halfway through and checking for doneness.
Results:
The rotisserie chicken was a showstopper. It was golden, crispy, and juicy throughout. The air fryer handled it beautifully!
Conclusion
The 5L ILO Air Fryer passed my extreme test with flying colors! It cooked everything from simple snacks to a whole chicken perfectly. This versatile gadget has earned a permanent spot in my kitchen. If you’re considering investing in an air fryer, the ILO Air Fryer is definitely worth it.
