Expert concerns of’safety issue’ if you cook certain items in an air fryer.

So, what foods should you avoid cooking in an air fryer?

Cooking an entire chicken in the air fryer is not recommended, according to Which?, but why is that? Because there isn’t enough room for the hot air to move, the middle will remain raw unless your countertop is particularly large.

The advertisement warned: “Cooking whole roasts, such as roast chicken can be problematic, so joint your bird first before frying.”

It is not recommended to use the air fryer for pasta, rice, or even some fresh greens.

Which? said: “An air fryer isn’t a go-to appliance for boiling and steaming – you’re better off sticking to a slow cooker or a pot on the hob.

“You can use an air fryer to reheat pasta and sauce that’s already been cooked, but the microwave is a more efficient way to do this.”
