How to Make These Recipes Even Easier (Cleanup & Prep)

The number one complaint about air fryers? Cleaning the greasy basket. Old oil residue can trap gluten crumbs from previous meals and harbor bacteria. That’s especially concerning for people with celiac disease or dairy allergies.

Most air fryers require scrubbing by hand. But the Typhur Dome Air Fryer includes an industry-first self-cleaning mode. Here’s how it works:

1. After cooking, press the self-clean button.

2. The Dome heats up to decompose grease and grime inside the top cavity.

3. No scrubbing. No lingering allergens.

For the basket itself, the PFAS-free, non-stick coating means food slides right off. You can wipe it clean with a damp cloth in seconds. This is a game-changer when you cook multiple recipes in one week.

Conclusion: 

Gluten-free and dairy-free eating doesn’t have to mean boring salads or sad, soggy takeout. With an air fryer, you can make crispy chickpeas, crunchy zucchini fries, juicy salmon, and even pizza in the time it takes to preheat a regular oven.

The 7 recipes above prove that you don’t need special ingredients or hours of prep. Just simple, whole foods, a little seasoning, and the power of hot circulating air.

If you’re ready to upgrade your weeknight cooking, look for an air fryer that works with you not against you. The Typhur Dome Air Fryer offers:

• Dual heating elements for even cooking (no shaking required)

• An extra-large basket that fits a 12” pizza or 32 wings
