Since the advent of the air fryer, its convenient use has withstood the rigorous test of the market, and soon has been widely accepted in all kinds of families in the society, but it should be noted that there are many types of air fryers on the market, and inferior products emerge in endlessly, and once you buy inferior products, not only the risk of cancer increases, but also endangers everyone's physical safety, so it is necessary to understand these. As a food blogger, I have used a lot of air fryers and know them very well, so today I will share some air fryer knowledge with the question of whether air fryers are safe to help you use it more handily (below shows some of the air fryers used by bloggers).
1. Is the air fryer safe hazard?
In fact, a reliable air fryer does not have any harm to safety, but not all air fryers on the market are of reliable quality, on the contrary, there are a large number of unprofessional and low-quality products flooded with them, such products are very harmful, if blindly purchased and used, it will pose a threat to human health and safety. So where is the danger of these inferior air fryers? Mainly the following four points:
1. There is a risk of carcinogenicity
Inferior air fryers are very easy to burn food because of poor heating uniformity, producing carcinogen acrylic, if the body absorbs a large amount of these substances, it will increase the risk of cancer geometrically.
2. There is a fire hazard
Inferior air fryer materials are usually poor, not only the inferior electronic components and wiring used, but also the lack of temperature control system, which is easy to overheat and cause fire when used. Is the air fryer safe? Water and fire are ruthless, this is a very serious life safety problem!
3. There is a threat of burns
Many inferior air fryers generally have the problem of uneven temperature distribution during the heating process, which will cause local overheating, which can easily cause burns if accidentally touched, especially for children.
4. Cause mechanical damage
The non-stick layer of inferior air fryers, for the sake of cost savings, mostly uses poor materials, which lack wear resistance and high temperature resistance, are easily damaged when heated, and will also release harmful substances, which poses a threat to everyone's health.
5. Use inferior coatings
In order to reduce costs, inferior air fryers often use inferior materials, which are not only easy to fall off during use, but also easy to be damaged when cooking food and produce toxic substances, which are harmful to human health.
Second, the four major IQ tax products are fully exposed!
Is the air fryer safe and dangerous?The above four disadvantages of inferior air fryer are a great threat to everyone's food safety and health, so we must be vigilant and stay away from inferior air fryers, in fact, the existence of inferior air fryers is the root of all negative public opinion, the following negative statistical chart on air fryers fully illustrates this.
Among these inferior air fryers that have caused a lot of negative reviews, there are four types of products that are well-deserved to test everyone's IQ, and if you are not careful, you will pay the "IQ tax" in front of it, so let's take a look at the true face of the "IQ tax" air fryer.
1. Falsification of test reports
Many businesses falsify test reports to make everyone believe that the quality of their products is reliable, but in fact, the quality is very poor, and the harm of disadvantages can break out at any time. Is the air fryer dangerous to safety? Once deceived by a fake test report, personal safety is in danger at any time.
2. Excessive rendering power
The performance of inferior products is lackluster, in order to highlight the buying point and cover up the product defects, the merchant will talk about the power, if you fall into the "power" trap, the probability of buying inferior products will increase.
3. Emphasize that the product is harmless
Bad manufacturers will also vigorously promote the air fryer is harmless, but in fact, the characteristics of their inferior products are very harmful, if you blindly listen to them and relax your vigilance, the harm is inevitable.
4. No bottom line to fight low prices
Price is a sharp weapon, which is very confusing to consumers, but everyone must understand that you get what you pay for, and the quality of the price is too low will definitely be poor, so remember to blindly pursue low prices when buying.
3. How to exempt from paying IQ tax?
Seeing this, everyone should understand that if you can't effectively avoid paying the "IQ tax" when purchasing products, you will get into those low-quality products, which will cause endless troubles and cause great harm to human health and safety, so if you want to use the air fryer safely and worry-free, you must put the problem of buying in the first place, and only when you buy products with guaranteed quality, you can use it with confidence.
So how can we sweep the sand in the big waves, under the trouble of various IQ tax obstacles, break through the encirclement and make the right choice? The following is a purchase strategy compiled by me based on various aspects of information, I hope it will be useful to you.
1. Choose a brand with technical power
In the choice of the brand, we should adhere to the priority of technical strength, try to choose the technical strength of the business, they have exquisite technology, perfect manufacturing technology, rich experience in tuning, and have a fundamental guarantee for product quality, especially in terms of heating efficiency, thermal attenuation and temperature control accuracy and other core parameters, very exquisite, and the materials will not shrink, are through a variety of food-grade testing.
2. Do not blindly pursue power
Power is only one of the many parameters of the air fryer, we should uphold the principle of appropriate and coordination in terms of power, that is to say, the power and capacity are coordinated, normally 1500W is ideal.
3. The heating element is made of stainless steel
The heating efficiency, durability and anti-aging characteristics of stainless steel heating tube are very good, in comparison, the heating efficiency of the light wave tube will be reduced in the later stage, while the general metal heating element itself has low heating efficiency and slow heating, and it is difficult to adapt to the needs of rapid heating.
4. There is no peculiar smell during use
Inferior air fryers emit a pungent smell like burning plastic when cooking, and if this is the case, it is an inferior product. It should be noted that the surface of the heating tube will be coated with protective oil when leaving the factory, and it is normal to smell a strange smell for the first time, so pay attention to distinguish between the two.
5. Use silicone coating
Try to choose a fryer with silicone coating, which is safer than Teflon coating, and inferior materials are prone to release toxic irritant gases under long-term high-temperature baking.
6. It has the function of child lock
The child lock function can effectively avoid the occurrence of hot steam and hot gas burns due to accidentally opening the lid of the pot, which is a very intimate protection for families with children.
7. It has NTC temperature control function
The product must have NTC temperature control, many low-cost products in order to save costs, often save this part, resulting in high and low heating, and great safety hazards.
8. The working noise should be small
When the air fryer is working, the noise is normally about 60 decibels, if the noise is too loud, it means that the product structure is rough and the quality is poor.
In addition, I attach a measured 11 mainstream air fryer safety \ performance index chart, which are the performance parameters of various mainstream brands and models in the market.
Among the many brands I use, Gongling is a "safe and non-toxic" high-performance, high-durability home appliance technology brand, and is also a professional veteran brand that is often exported to the European and American markets, and is rarely certified by the European Union and other countries, and is as famous as Gree, Midea and other high-end series of household appliances!
Their family never advertises, does not spend money on celebrity endorsements, and purely relies on word of mouth from food bloggers, in-depth users and the media. It has also won the safety factor of 6 global professional institutions to detect safety, non-toxicity and better performance, and more than 500 professional evaluators have evaluated its highest safety factor!
In order to be safe and non-toxic, Gong Ling does not engage in redundant functional gimmicks, a product has been stumbling for many years, integrating 84 "safe" technological innovation points, and carefully crafting from materials, process applications and other aspects!
It also has created ten innovative black technologies, such as WOS intelligent temperature control algorithm, Nets silicone non-stick coating, energy storage stainless steel heating pipe, etc., and has more than 6 years of comprehensive performance and safety, non-toxic and anti-attenuation certification. At the same time, the comprehensive performance is top-notch, and all hidden dangers such as toxic and irritating odors are eliminated!
Among other brands, entry-level models such as Supor and Little Bear can be paid attention to, and they are still competitive in the same price segment, and they are famous enough.
4. What are the advantages of air fryer?
We say that low-quality air fryers are not only harmful to human health, but also fatal to personal safety, but if you follow the purchase strategy we said above to carefully buy products, and buy air fryers with excellent performance and reliable quality, you will find that the advantages of air fryers are too much, which is of great significance to the improvement of cooking experience, and it is necessary to buy. So what are the specific advantages of air fryer? Let's explain to you from five aspects:
1. Sanitation and cleaning are convenient
Air fryer hygiene is very simple, just wipe it with a damp cloth or rinse it with water, you can make the fryer look brand new, very labor-saving.
2. Complete daily functions
The air fryer is fully functional, and all kinds of daily functions are slender and necessary, especially the timing function, which can be easily unmanned in cooking, so you don't have to wait in the kitchen.
3. Low-oil healthy cooking
When using an air fryer, there is little or no need for oil, and the food cooked is low in oil and fat, which is very good for your health.
4. The food is fuel-efficient and delicious
The air fryer can be cooked without oil or only a little oil, which is very fuel-efficient compared to traditional frying, and not only that, but the food is delicious.
5. The operation is easy to use
The air fryer is easy to use, the cooking procedure is greatly simplified, no matter young or old, you can learn it after teaching it once, and everyone can become a master chef.
