AKA – The Bacon Button
Having an air fryer can save a fair amount of time cooking meals and heat up to a cooking temperature more quickly than most conventional ovens. The cooking time and temperature can also be reduced, producing perfectly cooked food.
Programmed Modes
When looking for an air fryer to buy as your first or upgrade your existing model to keep up with the family, there can be some features to look out for.
Programmed modes are a single selection button or control that takes the guesswork out of cooking in an air fryer. You can select what you are cooking, and the machine will run a pre-programmed routine of time and temperature to give you a perfectly cooked meal.
There is no need to guess the time and temperature to set the air fryer as the manufacturer has already programmed this into the machine.
Press and Forget
Another advantage is the press and forget. You must add the food, select the correct program by pressing a button, and the cooking will commence. When the food is ready, the machine will let you know. It’s friendly and accessible. Ideal for a busy household when there are several plates to spin simultaneously.
Cooking Presets
For example, this COSORI CP158-AF model has 12 pre-programmed cooking presets. These include touch preset cooking modes for:
- Steak
- Chicken
- Seafood
- Shrimp
- Bacon
- Frozen Foods
- French Fries
- Vegetables
- Toast
- Bake
- Preheat
- Keep Warm
While you may not use every function in the machine’s life, it gives you much more to choose from. If you are very busy and want the food cooked, a next-generation air fryer like the CORSI Pro II model will be well worth looking at. It gives you lots of cooking capacity and the ease of the programming modes.
This is ideal if you want to cook bacon in an air fryer without much thought.
Programmable
The next generation of air fryers, as the new model CORSI Pro II mentioned above, is programmable. This feature means you can assign a new cooking time and temperature to a button and custom shake reminders for things like fries or just turning the food over.
This feature is ideal if you like your food cooked slightly under or over what the pre-programmed mode provides.
For subsequent cooks, you can program more or less time or more or less temperature or a combination depending on your personal preferences. Next time you cook the same meal, use your newly assigned programmed mode.
The food will now be how you like using the saved programming one-touch mode.
