Comfort is one of the things valued when you start using this type of device since It is very convenient to be able to control food without having to be at homeschedule when you want a dish to start preparing or keep it warm once the process is complete.

Plan a recipe

Although the Xiaomi Air Fryer comes with multiple recipes in the Xiaomi Home app, sometimes you want to create different ones. It is possible to create personalized recipes to activate them directly from the applicationwithout having to enter the temperature or time each time.

For that it is necessary open the app, select the fryer and click on the section Device. There is a section called New personalized recipe, which allows you to set the cooking temperature and time and save them under a specific name. Once finished, you just need to press this button when the food is inside the fryer.

It is true that there are not as many configuration parameters as in the preconfigured recipes, like that of fries, which even has an audible reminder to move them halfway through cooking, or that of pizzas, which even allows you to keep the portion warm once it has just been cooked. Even like this It’s very practical to have a button for each recipe

oil spray

Although the Xiaomi fryer is called that, like all those of this type, in reality works like a convection oven, that is to say with air and resistance. It does not really immerse the food in the oil, which is why it is healthier and also cheaper, especially since the price of this liquid has increased.

But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t use a little oil, especially for things you want browned on the outside and with a little more flavor. The ideal is to use a spray

Mobile notifications

The fryer being integrated into the Xiaomi ecosystem, it is possible to create alerts on the phone using the Xiaomi Home application. They can be activated of two types, one that warns when the food has finished cooking and another that activates when the cleaning maintenance has just been carried out.

Both are enabled in the same section. It is necessary that open the app, select the fryer and click in the upper right corner, on the icon with the three vertical dots. There appears the section Settings, where you need to look for a section called Device settings. In it you can activate or deactivate each of the two notification options. This way it is possible to relax in the living room.
