1. What are the advantages of an air fryer?
What are the advantages of this new type of kitchenware - air fryer? Normal and qualified air fryers can be easy to operate, save time and trouble, and can provide us with more convenient and efficient choices for cooking, whether it is a busy white-collar worker or a beginner in cooking, you can easily use the air fryer to make delicious and healthy food. Below we have summarized the five advantages of air fryers for you.
Advantage 1.Fuel-efficient and good taste
The hot air in the air fryer circulates quickly to create a crispy texture similar to the effect of frying on the surface of the food, without having to soak in a large amount of oil, which greatly reduces the amount of fat used and gives it a refreshing taste.
Advantage 2: Reduce fat intake
Air fryers are usually equipped with a grease artesian grid or oil drain pan, which will drain the grease itself during the cooking process, thereby reducing the amount of oil absorbed by the food, which is designed to better control the grease content of the food and make the food cooked healthier.
Advantage 3.Cleaning is very convenient
The interior of most air fryers is equipped with detachable parts such as a frying basket, pan base, drain pan, etc., which can be easily removed and cleaned separately for thorough removal of food debris and grease.
Advantage 4: Save time and trouble
Compared to a traditional fryer or oven, an air fryer usually doesn't need to be preheated for a long time, just set the right temperature and time, and start cooking immediately, eliminating the need to wait for it to warm up.
Advantage 5.Feature-rich, no need to wait in the kitchen
Most air fryers are equipped with a simplified control panel and preset programs that make operation very simple, the user only needs to select the appropriate parameters such as cooking mode, temperature and time, and then press the start button to start cooking, without complicated adjustments and monitoring.
