The air fryer can be used to make oil-free roast chicken wings and French fries, and can also be used for baking, such as baking cakes, pizzas, sweet potatoes, etc., and can also be used for frying steaks, tenderloin and other meats. In addition, the air fryer can also air-dry fruits, which can be used to make dried kiwifruit, bananas and other dried fruits.
First, the advantages of air fryer
1, no oil and little oil
The biggest advantage and feature of frying with air fryer is that you can put no oil or less oil, and neither roast chicken wings nor French fries need to put too much oil. Therefore, relatively speaking, the food made by air fryer is still relatively healthy, and the oil content is far lower than other cooking methods.
2, petite
On the other hand, the air fryer occupies a relatively small area, which is not far from the general rice cooker. Compared with large ovens, air fryers will be more suitable for smaller families. For example, air fryers of brands such as Philips and Midea are of high value and do not take up much space.
3, the difficulty of cleaning
Because the amount of oil used is less, cleaning will not be as troublesome as other cooking tools.
Second, the shortcomings of air fryer
1, scope of application
Although air fryer is friendly to roast sweet potatoes, roast chicken wings or French fries, its cooking flexibility is far less than that of oven or other cooking equipment. On the one hand, because the capacity of the air fryer is limited, it can't hold enough food, on the other hand, it is limited by the working principle, which often can't guarantee the handle and water content of cooked food to be in the best state.
2, the price is more expensive
At the same time, the price of air fryer is not low, and the cost performance is not very high in terms of function. Like some non-stick air fryers with inner liners, the price is as high as 1599 yuan, which is also a relatively expensive small kitchen appliance.
The above is about the function and use of the air fryer, the advantages and disadvantages of the air fryer, and I hope it will help everyone.
