The Basic Information about Air Fryer

Air fryer, is a machine that can use air to "fry", mainly using air to replace the original frying pan in the hot oil, so that the food is cooked; at the same time, the hot air also blows away the moisture on the surface of the food, so that the ingredients to achieve a similar effect to frying.

The basic principle of air fryer

Traditional frying is a process that uses the vaporization of oil at high temperatures to take away the moisture from the surface of the food, while conducting heat from the outside to the inside to cook the food to maturity.

The air fryer has a food baking heater on top, which can quickly heat the air inside the pan, plus the special pattern design of the food basket inside the fryer, with the help of a high-powered fan to produce high temperature and rapid circulation of swirling heat in the enclosed space of the fryer, that is, the use of hot air instead of traditional animal and vegetable oils, so that the air helps us fry food.

Air fryer's internal baking pan is generally placed in the middle of the fryer, the top and bottom are left with a certain space, so that under the action of the fan, the circulation of hot air to achieve a full range of contact with the surface of the food, in the food around the continuous heating, the ingredients themselves contain grease "forced" out, so that the food cooked, and the surface also becomes browned, creating a crispy and crunchy texture similar to "deep frying".

The air fryer is like an oven and a high-powered hair dryer combination, so the air fryer cooked food from the appearance and taste, are more inclined to the oven baked food, but rather with the traditional deep-fried have some differences.

What is the difference between different brands of air fryers?

There are a wide variety of air fryer brands available on the market, and the key difference in performance is mainly in the way the food is heated.

Some air fryers use technology that enables air to circulate up and down the chassis to improve convection heating area, thereby enhancing the uniformity of heating on both sides of the ingredients.

Some air fryers have an ingredient rotator in the liner, which heats the ingredients and allows them to rotate for even heating, but may damage the integrity of the food to some extent.

There are also air fryers installed inside the air fryer on the air guide slot, so that the hot air from the side of the food basket blowing through, but such a liner device will inevitably make the inside of the food basket stained with grease and food residue, after the use of clean-up work is relatively more difficult.

Air fryers really do not need greasy?

Compared to traditional deep-frying cooking methods, air fryers greatly reduce or even avoid the use of animal and vegetable oils in the process, but it would be inaccurate to say that air fryers do not use grease at all.

Because in its working process, it will use the food itself contains the fat to produce the taste of frying, only compared with the artificial extra oil cooking, this fat content and heat is also really much lower.

However, not using additional animal and vegetable oils is not absolute, if our raw ingredients themselves contain a certain amount of fat, such as chicken wings, fish, etc., it is true that you can not put extra oil.

But if we want to use the air fryer itself almost no fat vegetable ingredients, such as lotus root, etc., or need to add a little oil in advance in the ingredients as a medium, in order to better help the body absorb the nutrients within the vegetables, but also to effectively prevent the vegetables become scorched.
