Glass Dishes for the Air Fryer

Air fryers are gaining in popularity and have revolutionised everyday cooking. Their clever technology makes it possible to whip up delicious, healthy meals with less fat in the blink of an eye. You might not know this tip, but you can absolutely use glass dishes in your air fryer instead of cooking your food right in the machine’s drawer, making it much easier to serve and clean up. Here’s what you need to know. 

What’s an air fryer, Exactly?

An air fryer is an innovative cooking device that relies on a flow of hot air to cook all kinds of foods. The air inside the machine circulates at a high speed, allowing the air fryer to cook, grill, roast, and even fry your favourite dishes while preserving their flavour and texture. Unlike a conventional fryer, it requires little to no oil, considerably reducing the amount of fat contained in your meals. Think of it as a mini oven! 

The air fryer has become an absolute must-have in the kitchen and has taken social media platforms by storm as a healthier alternative to traditional cooking methods. With an air fryer, you can cook delicious foods and make them crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, just like in a traditional deep-fat fryer, with just a fraction of the fat… and calories! 

 The Benefits of air fryer Cooking 

The main benefit of an air fryer has to be that it helps you make all your favourite foods healthier. This device allows you to “fry” the ingredients of your choice just like you would in a deep-fat fryer, but with only the smallest touch of oil. You get the same crispy results without all the fat—much better for your health! 

Air frying is also quicker than other cooking methods, particularly baking. This means you can use your air fryer to prepare delicious meals in record-breaking time. And, to make clean-up even easier, you can use Pyrex® glass dishes in your air fryer. 

Few devices are as versatile as an air fryer. It’s not just an oil-less fryer; it’s a more efficient mini oven. You can use it to prepare sweet and savoury treats, meat, chips, vegetables, cakes, bread, and so much more! 

Our pro tip: If you have a tiny kitchen and no room for a regular oven, an air fryer is a fantastic alternative. It can replace an oven without taking up precious kitchen space!
