For young people who rent a house and cook less, air fryer, oven, steamer and microwave oven all have their own advantages and applicable scenarios.
Air fryer is a healthier choice than traditional frying. You can make oil-less foods similar to fried foods, such as French fries and chicken nuggets. In addition, the air fryer is convenient to use and relatively simple to clean.
Oven is suitable for making more kinds of food, such as bread, cake, pizza and so on. At the same time, you can also cook meat, seafood and other dishes. However, it should be noted that the oven needs to be heated in advance, and the temperature and time should be controlled when using it.
The steaming and roasting machine integrates steaming and roasting functions, and is suitable for making dishes such as meat and seafood, and can retain the original nutritional components and taste of ingredients. But the price is higher.
Microwave ovens are mainly used to heat food or thaw frozen food. It is convenient and quick to use, and different heating methods can be selected according to different foods. However, microwave heating will affect the taste and nutrients of some ingredients.
Therefore, if food needs to be heated or thawed quickly, microwave oven is the most practical choice; If you want to make more diversified dishes, choose an air fryer or a steaming and baking machine; If you want to make more kinds of bread, cakes, etc. You should choose to use traditional large-scale electronic appliances: electronic bread maker or electronic cooking machine; If you want to be able to cook meat, seafood and other dishes at the same time, you should choose to use traditional small household appliances: electronic stews or electronic cupboards.
