First of all, the principle is different
Air fryer: The principle is to use air to replace the hot oil in the original frying pan, and use convection heating similar to solar hot air to form a fast circulating heat flow in a closed pan, so that the food is cooked, and the hot air also blows away the moisture on the surface of the food, so that the ingredients can be fried approximately without boiling oil.
Electric oven: uses the radiant heat of electric heating elements to bake food.
Second, the capacity is different.
Air fryer: the capacity is generally 3~6 liters, which is about the size of an electric rice cooker. It occupies a small area and is easy to move and store.
Oven: the capacity is generally 18~30 liters, which requires a large area and is not convenient to move.
Third, different types of cooking.
Air fryer: You can make fried chicken wings, roast lamb chops, roast pork belly, ancient breakfast cakes, potatoes and other foods, but pay more attention to fried foods with certain grease in the ingredients themselves.
Oven: It can cook whole chicken, roast duck, Basque cake, biscuits, bread, pudding and other foods, but it pays more attention to all kinds of baked foods.
Matters needing attention in using air fryer
1, food preparation: When using the air fryer, it is necessary to cut the food into appropriate sizes for quick and even cooking. The surface of the ingredients should be dry, and there should be no excess water, so as not to spill oil.
2. Oil consumption: Although the cooking method of air fryer is healthier than that of traditional fryer, using too much oil will also affect the health of food. Generally speaking, 1~2 tablespoons of oil is enough.
3. Temperature and time control: When using the air fryer, it is necessary to adjust the temperature and time according to different ingredients and personal tastes. Generally speaking, the temperature is controlled between 180~200℃ and the time is controlled between 5~ 15 minutes.
4. Safe use: Pay attention to safe use when using the air fryer. Before opening the air fryer, it is necessary to check whether the furnace body and power cord are normal. During use, it is necessary to avoid operating the air fryer with wet hands to avoid electric shock. During cooking, don't open and close the lid frequently to avoid the temperature drop.
