Review: Nuwave Brio Air Fryer (How Does It Work?)

How does this fryer work?

By combining hot air with the high-speed air circulation, this fryer will cook all of the food that you want to perfection.  The fryer actually creates a super cyclonic air that circulates around your food, locking the flavor and the juices inside while air searing the outside. 

Because the air fryer uses technology to sear your food on all sides at once utilizing only air, the outside of your food becomes very crisp while the inside of your food remains tender and moist on the inside.

Clean up

As a busy Mom, it is very important that cleanup is quick and easy.  With the Nuwave Brio Air Fryer, it is. The Tray Base, the Fry Pan Basket, and Net are all dishwasher safe as long as you utilize the top shelf. If you do not have a dishwasher, no worries here either each and every piece can be easily cleaned by wiping the parts down with a damp cloth.

Sizes and Accessories

The Nuwave Brio air Fryer comes in three different sizes, 3 quart, 6 quart, and 10 quart.  You are also able to purchase several different accessories such as a grilling pan, reversible rack & baking pan, Silicone trivet and cupcake liners (oh yes you can bake in this too!), 5-piece utensil set (although you can probably purchase an equal setsomeplacee other than the Nuwave site cheaper), and a carry case. 

Benefits

Many benefits come when you fry your foods in an air fryer.  An air fryer offers a more precise temperature control, you are able to cook your food between 100°F-400°F and adjust by 5°F instead of 25°F such as an oven or guess when using an oil fryer. The fryer has an enclosed cooking chamber with keeps the heat within the fryer this makes it safer for your whole family.  By not using oil, it makes your fried foods healthier for everyone. There is a safety feature that will not let the fry start cooking if the basket is not correctly set inside. The Pre-heat feature helps by crisping your food as well as a faster cooking time. Easy to clean, dishwasher safe or wipe with a cloth. It also features a digital screen interface. 

• Digital interface
• Easy to clean
• Crispier foods – faster cooking times
• Safety features built in
• Healthier fried food using no oil
• Precise temperature control

Another benefit of using an air fryer verses on oil fryer is lower calories.  For example, a serving of French Fries deep fries using oil has 953 calories, by just changing the way you cook them it now only has 285 calories.  The same can be said when cooking onion rings, 580 calories when cooked in an oil fryer and only 174 when cooked in a Nuwave Air Fryer.

My Thoughts

I have heard so much about these products called Air Fryers and wondered just how well they actually work. Well, I do have to say that it really is an amazing product.  I have made many different things in my new oven, but my personal favorite is making chicken wings in it.  Everything that I have made in it comes out with an amazing flavor and the texture cannot be beat.

I do have to admit that I really was very skeptical when I purchased this Air Fryer and the claim that it could fry food without the use of any oil that would taste as if it where fried in a deep fryer.  I have to say that I am very excited to state that it does just as it says it does. I have tried French fries, onion rings, as well as pierogis.  Each and every time I try cooking something new it surprises me with just how great these foods come out without the use of any oil.

Now that I have told you that, I have used it to fry things that I would have normally cooked in a deep fryer with oil and these foods are fantastic.  I also have to let you know that I have also cooked steak in it, as well as chicken legs and pork chops and I have to say that with all of these food the flavor was amazing. 

So, if you are thinking about cutting down calories or cutting out fried foods, check this product out it is well worth the investment and will lead you to a healthier style of cooking.
