Operating on the principle of a miniature convection oven, air fryers can crisp vegetables, bake cakes, or cook meat and fish quickly, according to the health website Health .
According to Amy Shapiro, a nutritionist working in the US, not all foods are suitable. Some foods, when put in an air fryer, will not yield the expected results and may even damage the appliance.
Conversely, some dishes that seem difficult to prepare turn out delicious and crispy when cooked in an air fryer.
Whole blocks of cheese shouldn't be put in the air fryer. The cheese melts too quickly and spreads out before it has a chance to brown and crisp.

Foods that should not be put in an air fryer
Wet battered dishes like battered fried fish are not suitable for cooking in an air fryer. The reason is that there isn't enough hot oil to quickly cook the batter, causing it to melt before it becomes crispy, and it easily becomes soggy even when the meat inside is cooked.
Whole slices of cheese are also a food that shouldn't be put in an air fryer. The cheese melts too quickly, spreading out before it has a chance to brown and crisp.
Some leafy vegetables like some types of cabbage are also not suitable for air fryers. When exposed to hot wind, the leaves are blown away and cooked unevenly.
Popcorn is a high-fiber snack that can be made on a stovetop or in a microwave, but it's not suitable for deep fryers. Many deep fryers don't reach a high and stable temperature to ensure the kernels pop evenly. The result is often incomplete popping, with many kernels burnt and less tasty.
Unexpected dishes that go well with an air fryer
Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs are perfect for deep frying. When cooked at 190°C for 20 minutes, the skin becomes crispy while the inside remains juicy.
Salmon is a rich source of omega-3, protein and many essential minerals. With the air fryer, salmon is cooked quickly and crispy without any unpleasant fishy smell in the kitchen. You just need to season, bake at 200 degrees Celsius for 7 to 9 minutes to have a golden, soft and sweet salmon dish.
Instead of boiling them in water, simply put the eggs in an air fryer at 130°C for 15 minutes; the yolks will be perfectly cooked, the shells will be easy to peel, and it's very convenient.
Nuts are equally delicious when roasted in an air fryer. You can mix them with a little oil and salt, roast at 150 degrees C for 5 to 10 minutes.
Frozen dumplings can be cooked directly without thawing. Just brush or spray with a thin layer of oil, fry at 175 to 200 degrees Celsius for 8 to 12 minutes.
