You can cook almost anything in the air fryer and one chef has provided a recipe for air fryer cup cakes.
Philips’ in-house air fryer chef Martin Senders has been testing out recipes to tantalise the tastebuds while cutting down on cooking time and therefore energy consumption.
He says thanks to advancements in air fryers like Philips’ custom RapidAir technology you can ensure an even, delicious bake every time – without a single soggy bottom in sight.
And with the return of the Great British Bake Off on our screens, many of us will want to try and recreate some baked treats at home.
Martin said: “We can’t all be born ‘Star Baker’, so any technology that makes baking more of a breeze is always welcome – and that’s exactly what the air fryer does.
“An air fryer works by circulating hot air, making it perfect for golden, perfectly risen bakes with no soggy bottom’ in sight. Not to mention how energy-efficient an air fryer is, making your baked goods taste even sweeter.
“Cookies and muffins are my favourite treats to bake in an air fryer, thanks to their ability to be cooked easily in batches and always producing perfectly golden-brown exteriors.
“But suppose you’re new to air fryer baking. In that case, I’d avoid layered pastry treats like croissants as the quick cooking time can mean an underbaked interior and an overly-crispy exterior.”
Martin based his timings for his fluffy vanilla cupcake recipe on the Philips 3000 Series Dual Basket Airfryer is available at John Lewis and Currys for £179.99.
