1. The air fryer has a small capacity and is suitable for small families; The intelligent oven has a large capacity, which can cook more food at a time, saving time and electricity. If you want to roast a whole chicken, I don't think the air fryer can do it. The oven can also be roasted with a fork, which is more convenient. However, the air fryer is small in size, does not occupy space and is more convenient to move. The air fryer does not need preheating, and the oven needs preheating in advance. Some people may find preheating troublesome.
2. The air fryer is efficient and easy to operate.
Whether it is a big oven or a small oven, it should be preheated before making food. The preheating time is about 10-30 minutes. Preheating food too short will cook slowly, and too long will shorten the life of the oven, which is more troublesome. The air fryer is a bit silly in operation. As long as the prepared food is put in, the meat of two people can be finished in 20 minutes, which is more suitable for the current fast food eating method.
3. The air fryer does not occupy space and saves space.
Household oven, the smallest is 15L, which is generally about 25-40L for household use. They are big, light and occupy a lot of space, especially for those kitchens that are not big in themselves. The version of the air fryer is a rice cooker, which will be put away after use. It is easy to move and does not take up space.
4. Disadvantages of air fryer:
Expensive. Generally speaking, the price of air fryer is slightly higher than that of two ovens. But for the sake of health, it is still within the ability of most people. The internal cooking space is small and the choice of dishes is limited. Being small is both an advantage and a disadvantage. The small limitation of the cupboard can only cook for 2-4 people.
The taste of the dish is a little less, because the air fryer was taken away by the hot air in the process, so it tastes a little dry. In addition, excessive intake of dehydrated food will also affect our health, leading to problems such as large skin pores.
To sum up, I usually use air fryer to make chicken legs, chicken wings, fried foods, oven baked and barbecue foods. You can choose according to your actual situation!
Personally, I think it's an oven. The oven can not only bake things, but also make cakes. If you want to cook big dishes, such as grilled fish, grilled lobster and toast, I'm afraid the air fryer won't work, so I think the oven will be more practical.
Hello, I'm glad to answer your question. Which is suitable for home use, air fryer or oven? I think both of them are suitable for home use and have their own advantages. I haven't touched the oven at home since I bought the air fryer.
1, the air fryer is small and easy to take. There is not much space in my kitchen, so the air fryer can be put in the cupboard, which is convenient to take out when it is used and does not occupy the kitchen space.
2, the operation is simple. Just put the marinated ingredients in an air frying pan and fry them flat, and then choose a good temperature and time to do other things, saving time for housewives.
3, no oil or a small amount of oil, very healthy. My children like fried chicken wings, fried chicken legs and fried chicken pieces very much. It used to be fried, and the ingredients will absorb a lot of oil, which is very unhealthy. Since I bought an air fryer, I can fry crispy and delicious fried chicken wings without putting a drop of oil. Children like it.
Hello, I'm He, a food blogger, and I'm glad to answer your questions.
Oven and air fryer have the same function. I have used both of them, but I still recommend a home oven, which is more practical, especially for baking pizza and cakes. The oven is better. Let me tell you about their principles.
The inside of the air fryer is closed, which mainly uses air circulation and high temperature to fry food, and the fried food will be dry. The oven is different from the oven. The oven cooks the food through a heating tube, which takes a long time and has a stronger flavor, so the food baked in the oven will be relatively delicious if it tastes good.
Do I usually prefer baking or using the oven? My cooking tastes better and tastes better. I hope it helps you.
Hello, I'm glad to answer this question. I think the oven is more suitable.
The air fryer looks very similar to the rice cooker that everyone usually uses for cooking, but it is still smaller than the ordinary oven. It is said that this kind of pot uses the principle of air circulation to heat the air in a closed space and circulate it at a high speed to form a hot airflow, and then uses this hot airflow to heat fried food. The air is hot enough to cook food, and at the same time, the flowing hot air will take away part of the water in the high-speed circulation environment, making the food look similar to fried food. Replacing the original oil with air can achieve the purpose of less oil, which is healthier and more environmentally friendly.
Compared with the oven, this air cooker has the advantages of small volume, small occupied space, convenient cleaning and more energy saving than the oven. When cooking food, the air fryer does not need extra oil, which is more worry-free and saves the oil needed for cooking. Judging from the taste of cooked food, this kind of air fryer can release the grease in food without extra oil, so it will be more refreshing to eat.
Every coin has its two sides. The food from the air fryer tastes simple, similar to frying. There is no way to make the taste of baking or cooking, but the oven can do it easily. Because of the small size of the air fryer, when a large number of families need to cook a lot of food at a time, the efficiency of the air fryer is obviously not as good as that of the oven. Moreover, when the air fryer is working, there will be relatively loud noise due to the agitation of air.
So which is better, oven or air fryer, should be chosen according to the actual situation in your home. If there are few people in your family and you prefer to eat fried food, then the air fryer is of course the first choice. But if there are many family members and rich dietary preferences, it is better to choose an oven.
Attached is a recipe for baking cakes.
2 -3 eggs
Fine sugar10g (yolk paste)
20g warm water
Salad oil 20g
45 grams of low gluten flour.
30 grams of fine sugar (egg white cream)
0.5 grams of salt
A few drops of lemon juice
The taste is soft, and it doesn't matter if there is no cream on the surface. Beat the cream into a semi-fluid state, put it in a paper bag, squeeze out long strips of different lengths and decorate with blueberries. Super simple.
In ordinary families, I recommend using an air fryer.
Reason 1: The air fryer can cook most ingredients, such as cakes, French fries, fried chicken and some dishes, which is more convenient to operate than the oven.
Reason 2: The principle of air fryer is to make the food basket circulate heat quickly through a high-powered fan, which can reduce the use of oil and make the food we eat healthier.
Reason 3: In my opinion, the air fryer needs to be used in a very flexible position at home, and occupies a small space, which is more convenient for ordinary families to use.
This really needs to be divided into groups, and the needs of each family are different. Air fryer and oven actually belong to different types of electrical appliances, and the types of food cooked are completely different.
Air fryer:
You can use less fried chips, chicken wings and popcorn than a gas stove, but you don't need any oil. In fact, the air fryer is in a relatively small space, through heating pipes and hot air, so that the small space can quickly reach a very high temperature to cook food, so that the food can achieve a crisp surface, similar to the effect of frying. The actual cooking effect is not as good as that achieved by frying gas stoves.
Advantages: relatively less oil, relatively healthy. There will be no smoke caused by poor oil temperature control (according to recipes), small size, convenient storage and fast speed.
Disadvantages: the effect is not as good as frying, which is prone to unevenness, some places are not cooked, and some places are burnt. If you don't follow the recipe strictly, the effect will be difficult to control.
Oven:
Oven is suitable for more dishes than air fryer, and can bake many things, such as barbecue (lamb chops, steak, barbecued pork, chicken wings), grilled fish (Zhuge grilled fish, saury, hairtail), seafood (grilled shrimp, scallop, razor clam, crab), vegetables and miscellaneous grains (corn, sweet potato, potato) and tart pie (pizza, egg). It can be said that as long as you want to bake in the oven, there are many choices, such as cooking, dessert, staple food, dinner and afternoon tea.
The principle of the oven is to heat pipes, some with hot air and some without, and cook food by thermal radiation.
Advantages: there are many kinds of cooking, and you can make toast and souffle that air fryer can't do, with less oil. Compared with the air fryer, the baking effect is better, the space is larger, more food can be cooked at one time, and the uniformity is better.
Disadvantages: the speed is slower than that of the air fryer. After all, kebabs are baked by electricity, the temperature is not so high, and it is not as brittle as charcoal fire. If the built-in takes up cabinet space, if the desktop takes up table space, it will take up more space than the air fryer.
Whether it is an air fryer or an oven, it needs to meet individual needs. If you are a comfortable and convenient person, you only need to make some chicken wings and French fries for your children or yourself occasionally, and the taste is not very demanding. The air fryer can meet your needs, the price is relatively cost-effective, it takes up less space and is easy to store. If you are a baking enthusiast, or want to make moon cakes, cakes, dissolved beans for children, and grinding teeth, you need an oven. Ovens are also divided into embedded ovens and desktop ovens. If you only make small things occasionally, the desktop can meet the demand. If your house is newly installed and has space, and you like baking and eating dinner, then the embedded oven is recommended. From the perspective of decoration, the embedded steamer oven or all-in-one machine is the general trend.
With a few pictures of cooking by yourself, fried mushrooms and gas stoves are prone to oil leakage, pain, difficulty in cleaning and headache.
Because I have a baby at home, I personally like baking, so I use embedded oven, roast beef pizza (richer than Pizza Hut), roasted sweet potato (super sweet), family secret barbecue (to solve the problem of eating barbecue during the epidemic), bread (it is too difficult and tiring to knead dough by hand, and chefs can cook it), Oreo cream cake and biscuits.
Personally, I think the oven is more practical, there are many kinds of things to make, and the temperature can be controlled when it is used, but the air fryer is relatively simple to operate. So, if you want to choose and feel interested in food, buy an oven. If it's just a whim, it's an air fryer. The first picture is an oven, and the second picture is an air fryer. You can refer to it
Air fryer is more practical.
Reason:
1, the air fryer has high efficiency and simple operation.
Whether it is a big oven or a small oven, it should be preheated before making food. The preheating time is about 10-30 minutes. Preheating food too short will cook slowly, and too long will shorten the life of the oven, which is more troublesome. The air fryer is a bit silly in operation. As long as the prepared food is put in, the meat of two people can be finished in 20 minutes, which is more suitable for the current fast food eating method.
2, do not occupy space, save space.
Household oven, the smallest is 15L, which is generally about 25-40L for household use. They are big, light and occupy a lot of space, especially for those kitchens that are not big in themselves. The air fryer is a rice cooker. Put it away after use. Simple movement and no space occupation.
Extended data:
Key points of purchasing air fryer:
1, technical comparison
The most important thing about air fryer is the technical level, because the working principle is the same. There is a heating device at the top of the fryer and a very powerful fan inside to ensure rapid circulation.
2. Pay attention to the comparison of brands
It is recommended to choose regular brand products for household appliances, only in this way can we really ensure good use effect. Moreover, big brands make technical improvements every year, so the products they provide are naturally more secure.
Select oven:
1, air fryers can't make desserts, such as bread cakes!
2, the effect, the mutton skewers from the air fryer are relatively dry, such as the lean meat part, which is very hard!
3, personal feeling is that the oven has a hot fan circulation or something! The principle of personal feeling is relatively simple, the name is very awesome, and the effect is chicken ribs! The use is far less than the oven!
