The air fryer has remained unabated in recent years, and its popularity is catching up with the barbecue in foreign countries. Many people in China still don't know what an air fryer is.

The name "air fryer" always makes people misunderstood, and many people recall: this thing does not use oil, how does it "fry" the food?

In fact, an air fryer is a machine that can use air for "frying". It mainly uses air to replace the hot oil in the original frying pan, and uses convection similar to the sun's hot air to heat food. A rapid circulating heat flow is formed to make the food cooked; at the same time, the hot air also blows away the moisture on the surface of the food, so that the ingredients can achieve a similar frying effect. We can understand the air fryer as an "oven + fan" combination.

Since the advent of the air fryer, there have been constant disputes and different opinions: some say it is tasteless, some say it is really fragrant, some say it is an artifact, and some say it is an "intelligence quotient tax".

The main advantages of the air fryer:

The ingredients are low in oil and fat, making it healthier to eat; simple to operate and easy to clean.

Disadvantages of an air fryer:

Small capacity, compared to the oven, the air fryer capacity is relatively small

Taste: Because it uses hot air to quickly heat the ingredients, without oil, although it can achieve the taste of fried, but the moisture of the ingredients is low, and some ingredients taste dry after rapid heating.

Noise: It is inevitable that there will be noise, which does not affect normal living and is within the acceptable range
