The Kitchen Genius: My Go-To Air Fryer for Quick, Delicious Meals

Hello everyone!

I've been using my Xiaomi Smart Air Fryer for about 7 months now, and I've been cooking lunches, dinners, and even breakfasts in it regularly. I wanted to share my experience and opinion with you.

I chose Xiaomi because it's a popular, modern, and reasonably priced brand. I also picked this model because of its compact size - I really needed something that would fit in my small kitchen. I'd had an air fryer for years, but it was always too big for my space, so I ended up not using it. After reading reviews and checking the specs, I bought this air fryer on the market platform, and with the bonus I got, it was an amazing deal.

The almost-square base with rounded corners fits perfectly on my kitchen counter. The glossy white plastic looks great, and the display with the rotating dial makes it easy to choose the right program (temperature, time, or pre-set recipe).

When I'm cooking, I put the air fryer on the stovetop because it gets hot during the process. According to the instructions, I shouldn't put it too close to the wall or other surfaces to ensure proper air circulation.

Inside, there's a spacious 4.5-liter bowl with anti-stick coating, a drip tray (which catches excess sauce or grease), and a two-layer cooking grid. I've found that the simplest and quickest way to cook is to thaw the chicken breast ahead of time, cut it into bite-sized pieces, and marinate them in a sauce (like teriyaki, but you can also just use paprika and salt). You can use larger chunks or even whole breasts - the app lets you choose the program.

The app is called Xiaomi Home, and it connects to other devices from the brand's smart home lineup. Inside the app, you'll find recipes categorized by type (meat, vegetables, seafood, desserts, etc.). The selection isn't huge, but it's enough to cook a variety of dishes.

Since I had small pieces of chicken this time, I chose a similar chicken cutout in the recipes - mini skewers with bell peppers. By the way, I've cooked on wooden skewers before - it turned out delicious and visually appealing for serving.

The app also provides the right temperature and cooking time for each recipe.

One of the coolest features is that the air fryer launches with a single tap in the app. Throughout the cooking process, you can track the remaining time on both the digital display and within the app.

What's even more awesome is that you can leave the unit in a warm mode after the cooking cycle is complete, so your food stays nice and hot.

I've had some amazing results, like this chicken that was cooked to perfection in just 12 minutes - it was golden brown on the outside and juicy on the inside. You can even take it a step further and cook it for a few more minutes to get a crispy exterior.

But my personal favorite is the air-fried potatoes - they're cooked to perfection with a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior, just like the ones you'd get from a fast-food joint, minus the grease and deep-frying.

And let's not forget the other recipes you can make in this air fryer - I've tried cooking fish, veggies, and even omelets. The omelet recipe I tried recently was a simple 4-egg, 200ml-milk affair with some added paprika, mushrooms, and tomatoes. The result was a fluffy and airy omelet that was absolutely divine.

I coated the non-stick surface with melted butter - more for flavor than to prevent sticking.

I poured the mixture into the pan - it ended up covering the bottom with a thin layer.

The recipe recommended 200 degrees for 17 minutes - I adjusted the program and started cooking manually.

I turned it off 2 minutes early because I sensed a slightly burnt smell. And I did it just in time - the top got nicely browned, but didn't burn (there was no burnt taste in the end).

The omelette didn't rise much, but it turned out to be very tender and fully cooked.

Maybe next time it's worth trying a lower temperature (180 degrees) but for a longer time (17-20 minutes).

I really enjoyed the omelette. Will be trying more breakfast recipes.

My verdict is a definite yes! It's quick, delicious, and you can actually cook without oil. You can toss the ingredients on two levels and whip up a fast lunch or dinner with a side dish in no time. Thanks to its cooking technology, even simple chicken patties without sauce or additives come out juicier and more flavorful than in a steamer (hello, diet table #5 :)).

Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with my Xiaomi Smart Air Fryer. It's been a game-changer in my kitchen, and I've been experimenting with new recipes and ingredients every week. The app is user-friendly, and the air fryer itself is easy to clean and maintain. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a convenient and healthy cooking solution.
