30-second air fryer hack used by Jamie Oliver will 'max out' taste in your food

Jamie Oliver revealed a sensational air fryer technique that will transform your culinary skills, and it requires merely a few seconds' adjustment.

The renowned chef shared this clever tip on his Facebook page, proclaiming: "This is how you take your air fryer to the next level."

In a brief 30-second clip, Jamie walks viewers through an uncomplicated method to enhance their air fryer's capabilities every time they cook.

He explains: "Me and my team pushed the air fryer to its limit - and one of those ways was having thinned cooking of the top of that little tray and having other things reheating at the bottom."

Showcasing a delicious sweet potato recipe, Jamie demonstrates placing herbs and spices at the bottom of the air fryer, then slides the tray back in and arranges the sweet potato on top.

Using this approach, he prepares two separate dishes at once - serving both effectively without wasting additional time or energy.

He shares: "But if you think about having meat or fish [dripping] onto beans, chickpeas, tomatoes [below], you can really max out flavour and efficiency really fast."

Supporters are expressing enthusiastic approval on his post, with one stating: "Just cooked the salmon with salsa dish for our evening meal it was delicious."

Another follower added: "Awesome. Cooking in layers. I use mine a lot mostly meats potatoes."

While a third said: "Top stuff again, Jamie."

Another person shared their culinary triumph, saying: "I have a shelf style air fryer and love it."

Someone else said: "Just bought some air fryers for school and your book arrived yesterday... it's beautiful. Looking forward to trying out some of your dishes."

This wave of culinary shortcuts arrives shortly after celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay shared his essential techniques for producing the perfect crispy fried egg with a wonderfully runny yolk, packed with flavour.

The experienced cook suggests starting with a knob of butter in your frying pan, letting it melt, then reducing the heat and adding a pinch of salt and pepper before carefully cracking in the egg. The mixture of butter and seasonings will serve as a basting liquid, locking in all those mouthwatering flavours.

Once your egg reaches the skillet, increase the temperature and wait patiently for the edges to begin bubbling and crisping.

For those who desire an additional punch, Gordon suggests a sprinkle of chilli flakes, though that depends on individual taste.
