What is an Air Fryer?
An air fryer is a kitchen appliance that uses hot air circulation to cook food, giving it a crispy texture similar to deep frying but with significantly less oil. It typically consists of a heating element and a powerful fan, which work together to circulate hot air around the food, cooking it evenly and quickly.
Air fryer promotes healthier, faster and versatile cooking. It's a healthier alternative for those who want to reduce their oil consumption. Air fryers produce crispy and crunchy exteriors on foods like french fries, chicken, and onion rings, giving you that satisfying texture without the excess oil.
Oven Vs Air Fryer
Oven and air fryer cooking are both popular methods of preparing food. Ovens are versatile and suitable for a wide variety of cooking methods and larger meals, but they often require more time and oil for certain textures. Air fryers, on the other hand, are faster, use less oil, and excel at creating crispy exteriors, making them ideal for smaller, quick-cooking portions and snacks. The choice between the two depends on your specific cooking needs and preferences.
Ovens generally require longer cooking times and more oils making them suitable for slow roasting, baking, or cooking large batches of food.
Since Air fryers cook food much faster than ovens and need minimum oil and they are ideal for quickly preparing smaller portions of food, like frozen snacks, fresh vegetables, and fruits.
