Contributor, Practical Parenting / January 27 2020

Air fryers have taken Aussie kitchens by storm. Fast, low fat cooking are a firm favourite for whipping up a roast and 'frying' chips and other fast frozen convenience foods.

It didn't take long for home bakers to cotton on to the air fryer finding new and creative ways to use the kitchen appliance.

And now ladies and gentlemen, we present to you the air fryer pav!

Home baker Kim has shared her latest culinary breakthrough, using her air fryer to create delicious pavlova desserts.

Kim shares that she cooked her pavs for "an hour on 150 but the bottom wasn’t cooked properly so added another 15 mins."

Kim has topped her perfectly baked pavlovas with whipped cream, fresh fruit including sliced strawberries and blue berries.

"WOW! I always thought it was for people who like fried food but healthier 🤔", said one.

"I am soooooo trying this", added another.
