Has anyone used an air fryer to make fried tofu?

Last edited Fri Jul 3, 2020, 10:46 AM - Edit history (1)

I like tofu, but the 'shake it in corn starch & bake, carefully flipping several times' *or* pan frying in a good bit of oil, I'm not happy with those methods.

Thanks for your input

So I expect it would do a good job.

We DO use it to revive tofu fries (and other things) that have gone soggy and it works like a champ.

I too pan fry tofu in as little oil as possible and religiously stir and flip. But using an air-fryer intrigue me to I sound this:

This method intrigues me and I'm going to give it a try!
