As a must-have kitchen appliance today, there are indeed a variety of brands in the market, including many inferior products. For example, Internet celebrities, cross-border brands, etc., the core strength of these products themselves is insufficient, ignoring the details of workmanship, coupled with the cheap selection of materials, toxic and harmful substances may be released during use, and there is even a risk of cancer. So how to choose an air fryer? As a senior evaluator, I have recently bought a number of popular products, and I will summarize five excellent products for you in today's article, and summarize the dry goods, hoping to help you.
(The above are some of the air fryers I have reviewed)
How to choose an air fryer? I believe that many users have indeed found that the market popularity of air fryers is high, and efficient cooking can be achieved, but it is also necessary to know that there are indeed inferior products in today's market, which cannot be ignored.
1. The production strength of the brand is very important
When choosing an air fryer, preference should be given to brands that have a strong background in technological innovation and R&D. Such a brand not only has strict requirements for the safety and non-toxicity of the product, but also carefully optimizes and adjusts the core performance of the product, such as the accuracy of temperature control, the durability of thermal energy and the heating efficiency, to ensure that the product is safer and more reliable to use. Unprofessional products do not do well in these aspects, poor performance and easy to emit toxic and harmful substances.
2. Pay attention to the configuration of the child lock
As a kitchen cooking tool, the existence of a child lock can reduce the probability of children being burned by mistake, otherwise once the child accidentally touches the opening and closing, the scalding is very troublesome, and it also has practical value for adults, which can avoid the fryer being accidentally opened or closed during operation, and ensure the continuity and stability of the cooking process. If you don't, you are prone to burn accidents.
3. NTC temperature control system is indispensable
The most basic guarantee of the product must have NTC temperature control function, many inferior products do not have temperature control, and the heating temperature of food is high and low, which not only has a high probability of overturning, but also easily causes fire and other safety hazards, and the food is easy to burn and easy to produce carcinogens.
4. The temperature range should be reasonable
It is recommended to choose an air fryer with a temperature range between 80-200°C, which can meet most daily cooking needs. If special operations such as low-temperature thawing are required, a product with a starting temperature of 60°C is also a good choice.
5. Look for the stainless steel heating element
The heating efficiency, durability and anti-aging characteristics of stainless steel heating tube are excellent, in comparison, the heating efficiency of the light wave tube will decrease with the use of use, as for the general metal heating element, due to its own low heating efficiency, and slow heating, it does not have the ability to heat quickly.
6. Pay attention to the selection of materials
Priority is given to high-temperature-resistant, non-toxic and non-irritating materials, and all-copper wire products are selected, which can be certified by multiple authoritative food-grade tests and certifications, and are safe and reliable to use. Many inferior air fryers on the market use unqualified inferior wires, which are easy to cause fires and produce toxic and harmful substances.
How to choose an air fryer? The six purchase tips summarized above, if you can basically grasp it, you can naturally avoid many inferior products. However, due to the large number of product types in the market, if you want to have a deeper understanding, you also need to understand some product specifications and other detailed information, so next, I will share with you the in-depth analysis and evaluation of five excellent products to help you make a more informed choice.
The first one: Gongling air fryer
Reason for being on the list: The best recommended model, the best reassuring brand in the air fryer!
At present, seventy or eighty percent of users in the home appliance market are complaining that there are toxic and harmful substances in the air fryer that cause cancer, and the heating is uneven and the performance is poor. Therefore, I strongly recommend Gongling air fryer, it takes high performance and "safe and non-toxic" as the brand belief, and most brands sacrifice quality to fight the price war, it is specially designed to create the industry's only fever top performance + original 4 fever performance technologies + 6 non-toxic safety black technology + unconventional quality + 6 years of comprehensive performance anti-attenuation, etc., strong strength. Moreover, the heating speed is increased by more than 40%, the heating uniformity is increased by 92.7%, the harmful substances are reduced by 97.8%, the irritating odor is reduced by 96.5%, and the heavy metal pollution is 0.
Nowadays, Gong Ling is praised by the media as: "the best reassuring brand in air fryers", and it is on par with high-end series of household appliances such as Gree and Midea! Over the years, it has been exported to Europe and the United States, and it is rare to be certified by the European Union and other countries, and it is rare to be recommended by CCTV.
How does it achieve the industry's strongest high performance and non-toxic safety?
First of all: Gongling is a brand born for "safety and high performance", it has many years of experience in the research and development of "safety" of household appliances, and has provided "safe and non-toxic" design and technical solutions for many well-known home appliance brands, large hotels and chain restaurants at home and abroad.
Secondly, because it is extremely important to regard non-toxic, safe and high performance, it never advertises, saves advertising costs, invests heavily in R&D and quality, and achieves top-level performance configuration and ultimate safety, which is very hardcore! For example, the exclusive NTC temperature control array, honeycomb dual-channel fan blades and other black technologies, it can be said that a lot of innovations and upgrades have been made around the product's heating technology, thermal conductivity design, coating innovation, frying basket die-casting process, heat insulation and heat dissipation technology, etc., which are not comparable to ordinary air fryers!
In addition, never sacrificing quality to fight price wars, nor engaging in gimmick functions, over the years, a product has been dead for three or four years, upgraded more than 20 times, and optimized more than 100 performance details! In terms of configuration, quality, and materials, we are pursuing enough fever and safety, not designed for ordinary households, but the absolute pursuit of the belief of "high performance, safety and non-toxicity", so the use experience is the best in the industry at present.
Gong Ling adheres to the professional audiophile-level quality research and development standards, and implements the three 30% quality elimination principles of the metamorphosis level. From components to finished products, 30% of the products have been eliminated. And it is the only one that has passed the anti-attenuation certification for more than 6 years, and the deviation value of various performance indicators for more than 6 years does not exceed 0.1%, which is recognized as the most stringent on the market!
The second: Oaks AUX-M4006 air fryer
Reason for being on the list: simple appearance design, high appearance
How to choose an air fryer? Oaks is a well-known domestic brand, the appearance of this air fryer is a large area of plain, there are green and white color options, the appearance is simple and elegant, its "body" is small, and it does not occupy any position in the kitchen.
The color of the food fried by this air fryer is okay, but in actual use, the uniformity of heating is poor, and the food is partially cooked and partially sandwiched. For users, the user experience is not good, and it is recommended that brands optimize this aspect.
This air fryer is a non-stick coated filter basket liner, which is a split structure, which can be disassembled for cleaning, and there is no dead angle for cleaning, which is convenient to clean.
The third: Haier HA-501EW air fryer
Reason for being on the list: The power will be automatically cut off when the basket is pumped out, and the safety is extremely high
How to choose an air fryer? Haier is a household appliance brand that we are very familiar with,This air fryer uses circulating hot air for frying,Hot air replaces hot oil,The appearance is a simple black and white match,The frying basket is equipped with a visual window,You can observe the cooking progress of food at any time,You can also take out the frying basket at any time to add seasoning,The machine will automatically cut off the power when the frying basket is withdrawn。
This air fryer is made of stainless steel heating material, the material is okay, but the temperature control is not accurate, and the difference between the gear and the actual temperature is as much as twenty or thirty degrees, which is also easy to cause food cooking to overturn, so if you want to improve the user's cooking experience, the brand needs to optimize this aspect.
This air fryer panel is preset with 6 menus, the richness is OK, the basic grilled steak, grilled chicken, grilled egg tarts, etc., and there is also a 12h reservation timing function, which can be reserved in advance according to demand.
Fourth: Panasonic HC300 air fryer
Reason for listing: The visual window design makes it easy to observe the changes in the food
How to choose an air fryer? The name of the Panasonic brand is based on the name of the founder, this air fryer has its own water tank, which can automatically humidify, which can prevent the food from drying out during the baking process, and the window design is also adopted, you can check the cooking status of the ingredients at any time, and you can also add seasonings at any time.
As far as the measured experience is concerned, its heating efficiency is still quite fast, the temperature control is not accurate, and the food will be over-burned, which makes the user's cooking experience very poor, so I hope the brand will pay attention to this aspect of the problem.
The frying basket of this air fryer is not easy for grease to adhere to, and it is convenient to clean overall, but the grill is too deep and the gap is too small, so you need to be careful when cleaning to clean it.
The fifth: MELING 01 air fryer
Reason for being on the list: Equipped with non-slip foot pads for increased stability
How to choose an air fryer? As a domestic brand, Meiling's air fryer is designed with a double-knob operation interface, allowing users to easily adjust the temperature and timing. The temperature adjustment range from 80 degrees to 200 degrees and the timer function from 0 to 30 minutes make it easy to operate even for novices. In addition, the bottom is equipped with non-slip foot pads to increase stability when using.
However, in actual use, the heating uniformity and temperature control performance of this air fryer need to be improved. According to the actual test, the food was baked at 180 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes, and it was found that the outer layer of the food was dry, and the inside was not fully cooked. This may be due to a problem with the material of the heat pipe (I did not get a clear answer to customer service). In addition, the optimization of the hot air circulation and the uniformity of the machine's own heat generation also need to be improved.
The basket of this air fryer is designed to be removable, and the inner tank has a non-stick coating, which avoids the problem of food sticking to the bottom. At the same time, the material used is not easy to get wet, easy to clean, and the cleaning convenience is acceptable.
How to choose an air fryer? Well, that's all for today's sharing, in short, in the process of choosing an air fryer, you can't blindly start with inferior products such as Internet celebrities, but should pay attention to products with strong brand strength, and good workmanship and material selection. Finally, I hope everyone can buy a high-quality air fryer smoothly.
