Can you cook frozen foods in an air fryer without defrosting it?
By Bilal Alwan
Air fryers definitely have the ability to cook frozen foods without the need to defrost it. The best foods that can be cooked with an air fryer are fries, nuggets and spring rolls, things that are much thinner allowing the heat to distribute evenly throughout the food. For bigger cuts of meat such as steaks and chicken this method may not be as viable as it may not be heated evenly and may require a much longer time in order to allow for an even cook whilst causing the risk of the meat drying out.
The benefits of heating frozen foods directly as opposed to defrosting food first and then putting it into the oven is that it may not be practical for people working from home or a busy stay at home parent.
Air fryers provide convenience towards users as it is highly practical and reduces the steps within cooking food which may be time consuming and not practical for all people
