Steam + Air Fry Magic: Unexpected Foods You Can Make in Your Nester

Making idlis in an air fryer can feel counterintuitive until you try steam-assisted cooking. With SteamLock™ Technology and Air Fry working together, you get soft, fluffy idlis with a light crisp edge. Brush with a little ghee at the end and it becomes a simple favourite.

The approach is straightforward: steam for the first few minutes, then switch to Air Fry mode for colour and texture. It’s clean, quick, and ideal for small batches.

You can apply the same idea to dhokla, momos, and stuffed buns. Start with steam to maintain moisture, finish with heat to build structure. The result is a texture that feels balanced and satisfying.

Your Nester is designed to do more than one job. Try different modes, timings, and placements to find what works for your routine.

Why Nester Chooses Safer, Smarter Materials”

At Nester, we believe great cooking starts with great materials. That’s why we stay away from harmful chemical coatings often found in kitchen appliances. Here’s a quick breakdown of what we avoid:

  • PFAS: A large group of synthetic chemicals known for water- and grease-resistance. Many nonstick products use them — we don’t.
  • PFOA: A banned PFAS once used in Teflon manufacturing, linked to long-term health concerns. Nester products are always PFOA-free.
  • PTFE: A chemical still used in many traditional nonstick surfaces. Our appliances use safer, high-performance coatings without PTFE.

Choosing Nester means choosing cleaner, safer cooking every day.
