Do you love fried food? What about the folks in your family? Our family loves it but we know it’s pretty unhealthy.

Shallow frying is sort of OK but deep fat frying is an artery-hardening disaster and that’s a shame because deep-fried food tastes so good.

The Zeny Electric Air Fryer promised to change that up for us. Fried food but this time without any immersion in oil. I liked that idea so much that we sent off for one immediately.

This is what I learned. (If you’d like to read about a variety of top air fryers then check out our Best Air Fryer Guide for more information.

The Zeny Electric Air Fryer Is Very Easy To Use

There’s no rocket science involved in using this electric air fryer.

As you can see from this YouTube video it’s pretty simple to get to grips with.

The idea is simple too. It cooks your food using a powerful circulating hot air current that acts like a fryer without the need for huge amounts of oil.

You absolutely MUST read the user manual though because the cooking times are very different from using an oven or a deep fat fryer.

What Did The Air Fried Food Taste Like?

The proof of any new cooking method is in the tasting.

We started by doing some fries with the Zeny Electric Air Fryer and to be fair, they were pretty good.

However, I think a lot of the taste in a fry comes from the oil and they needed a little more seasoning than usual.

We also took on some fried chicken and that was brilliant. Follow Tanya’s recipe for Air Fryer Fried Chicken at My Forking Life.

I often find the oil overwhelms the coating on fried chicken and without it, the taste of the batter came to the fore.

I loved it and my kids want me to cook it every week.

I guarantee you won’t be sorry that you bought one.
