Statement: There are no commercial advertisements implanted in this Shang Zhi Life Circle evaluation, and the experience results are only responsible for the samples, for reference only.
The three air fryer samples in this evaluation experience are simply carved with three molds-the appearance is basically different. Beautiful/beautiful, a drawable fryer bucket is what our common air fryer looks like.
Open the e-commerce platform to search for air fryers, most of which are of this type.
This kind of air fryer is generally opaque in design. Like beauty/beauty, it is pure black full of mystery, which makes people think about it at work. I don't know what the food inside went through before it became our dish.
OLAYKS supports a transparent container with a white base, and a lid with a burner is placed on top of the pot like a crown.
At first glance, I thought it was a new type of air fryer, but in fact, when TV shopping began to enter China in the late 1990s, air fryer appeared like this (unexpectedly).
Completely transparent containers allow food to change at a glance. I have to say, watching food cooking is really super healing.
This bear has a green body and a transparent cover that turns over, which also allows people to see food directly from it.
The rhythmic figure and crackling sound of food, coupled with the fresh green body, seem to tell us that this air fryer is healthy and beneficial to health.
Among the three kinds of air fryer samples, the largest is beautiful, but the capacity is relatively small, only 4.5L (the other two are 5L and 7L), which may be the so-called contrast sprout.
But for the sake of safety, there should be enough space around the air fryer when it is used, generally 20-30cm. However, because Bear and OLAYKS need to open the lid upwards, although it looks small, more space should be reserved on it, otherwise it will be difficult to open the lid, and beauty without lid requires less space.
At present, the control methods of air fryer are mainly mechanical and touch control.
This time, both bear and OLAYKS samples are mechanical, and both have a knob to control the temperature and time. When in use, the corresponding temperature and time can be manually selected according to different foods.
Beauty/beauty is touch-sensitive, and there are many modes to choose from, such as French fries, chicken wings and fresh shrimp. When working, it will set the corresponding time and temperature according to the mode we choose. (Of course, if we think that the default temperature of a certain mode is too high/too low and the time is too long/too short, we can also set it manually. )
When using, bear and OLAYKS need to open the lid and then put the food into the frying basket or plate. Beauty/beauty can be directly pulled out of the frying bucket to put food. Relatively speaking, Beauty/Beauty Theory is simpler and ruder, while Bear and Mr. Lecosse have more sense of ceremony.
The principle of air fryer is similar to frying, that is, hot air is used to replace hot oil, and hot air is used to form a fast circulating heat flow in a closed container to make food mature. In this process, the air can also blow away the moisture on the surface of food, so that the food can achieve the effect similar to frying without hot oil.
But do three different air fryers make the same food as fried food? What's the difference between color and fragrance? Let's take a look at the comparison of their cooking effects!
We made sausages, eggplant, chicken wings, French fries and chicken nuggets with three samples from the air fryer.
Beauty/Beauty chose the corresponding cooking mode (if there is no corresponding mode, set the temperature and time manually), and Bear chose the corresponding temperature and time according to the requirements of the manual. OLAYKS's instructions do not specify the temperature and time of the food we want to cook, so its temperature and time settings are consistent with Bear's.
Bear (180℃,15min):
Crispy outside and soft inside, moderate in all aspects, good in color and fragrance.
Olax (180℃,15min):
The skin of the fried sausage looks less brittle and tastes softer, just like the sausage that my mother fished out of the oil pan in advance to prevent me from getting angry. Of course it's cooked.
Beauty/Beauty (200℃, 10 min):
It looks thinner and has less moisture than the other two fried sausages.
Withstand (200℃, 10 min):
The appearance is wrinkled, but there is more water inside, which makes it soft to eat.
Olax (200℃, 10 min):
It looks "full", but in fact, the edge has been dehydrated, and the taste is similar to that of roasted eggplant.
Beauty/Beauty (200℃, 10 min):
It is fried more deeply and tastes drier than the other two.
Withstand (200℃, 30min):
Like KFC's Orleans roasted wing, it was fried again after it was bought, and it was tender outside.
Olax (200℃, 30 minutes):
It's like KFC's Orleans roasted wing, soft and juicy.
Beautiful/beautiful (200℃,13min):
Evenly heated, crispy ~
Bear (2 10℃, 15 minutes):
Brittle outside and soft inside, like French fries in a golden arch, the tip of French fries is burnt and the heating uniformity is average.
Olax (2 10℃, 13 minutes):
It's soft inside and out, like French fries in the golden arch, but it's the kind that has been put for a long time. And it's a little sticky, and the overall heating is not very uniform. Are there any golden potato chips that stand out?
Beautiful/beautiful (200℃,13min):
It tastes like a finger lady, and each one is fried thoroughly, but in fact it is evenly heated.
Bear (2 10℃, 13 minutes):
It's drier than OLAYKS, but the moisture is much more than beautiful/beautiful, and the crispness is just right.
Olax (2 10℃, 13 minutes):
It looks full of water, like steaming instead of frying. It tastes hard and soft inside.
Beautiful/beautiful (200℃,13min):
Less water, suitable for friends who like to eat crispy food.
Taste summary
On the whole, it can be found that there is not much difference between the three air fryers and the fried food, but the water content is different. Like those fried by OLAYKS, they are generally "moist", followed by bears, and the most dry is beauty.
This may be because OLAYKS has relatively low power (800W) and moderate firepower, while Midea has relatively high power (1350W) and relatively fierce firepower.
It may also be because the default temperature of different modes of beauty/beauty is higher or longer. If you have experience, you can try to lower the temperature or shorten the time.
Although the air fryer can be used without oil, "air frying" will fry oily food, and some foods (such as bread crumbs and sesame seeds) are easy to leave residues, which can easily "pollute" the whole pot. Therefore, it is very important for hin to clean the air fryer conveniently.
We have fried so many dishes in these three pots and washed them once every time, so we know which one is easy to wash and which one is not.
Beauty/Beauty needs to clean the frying pan+partition (the partition is put in the frying pan and can be taken out). Because the wok barrel and partition are non-stick coating materials, although there are some uneven lines, it is not difficult to clean. After washing with water, wipe it with a cloth stained with detergent, and it will be clean soon.
Bears need to clean the inner pot+fried basket. The inner pot and the cooking basket are also non-stick coating materials, so cleaning is relatively simple.
OLAYKS needs to clean the big container+steamer+plate, but its transparent container is really too big and heavy. When washing, if your hand touches the detergent, it will become very slippery, and maybe a careless container will leave your hand willfully. ...
It is worth mentioning that the shells of bear and OLAYKS are connected by wires and cannot be washed. Cleaning the lid by friction alone is a technical test.
Then, after a series of experiences, how to choose an air fryer?
① It is not recommended to choose an air fryer with heavy pot. After all, cleaning is a bit troublesome.
(2) What kind of pan-fried food is delicious, it is difficult to have a standard. I believe that as long as everyone can master the temperature and time suitable for their own taste, different air fryers can fry the same delicious food.
If you don't know what temperature and time to choose for different foods, then … practice more!
