LIFESTYLE – Handy kitchenware to help kickstart healthy eating
When I first heard of air fryers I didn’t really get what all the fuss was about but one day I caved in and tried one, then I never looked back since. They are useful for the whole family from cooking fresh fish, vegetables and more. Veggies like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, potatoes, zucchini, mushrooms & onions, and cauliflower all turn out incredible in the air fryer. What’s even more exciting is that air frying is healthier than frying in oil. It cuts calories by 70% to 80% and has a lot less fat. This cooking method might also cut down on some of the other harmful effects of oil frying. With all this in mind air fryers can really help you kickstart and continue a healthy eating plan.
