For example, fish is a reasonable choice for diabetics because of its high nutritional value, but you should eat steamed and boiled fish … avoid frying fish. Fried chicken contains a lot of carbohydrates, calories, salt and fat, so diabetics should not eat it, but should use other cooking methods instead, such as boiled chicken and steamed chicken.
However, fried food does have irresistible attraction. If you are a diabetic and like fried food, use an air fryer! Because air fryer can reduce 80% fat in fried food.
1. What is an air fryer?
Air fryer, also known as no fryer, radiates hot air at about 200℃ to the surface of food evenly through a fan, making the surface of food dry and crisp, while keeping the food fluffy (such as French fries) or moist (chicken legs). Because the oil used in the air fryer is not much, which is less than 10% of the oil needed for frying food, the air fryer can limit the intake of body fat, which is beneficial to health, especially for patients with diabetes, hypertension and heart disease. ...
2. Air fryer reduced the oil in fried food by 80%.
The air fryer consists of two parts, the upper part generates heat and the lower part reflects heat. The upper part consists of heating resistor and fan system. The lower part is designed with a drawer. Inside the drawer is a movable net or perforated metal basket. The air fryer is very simple to use. You just need to pour a few spoonfuls of oil into the ingredients, then put them directly into the basket and then put them into the preheated air frying pan. When the food is cooked, the grease will drip from the basket into the drawer below.
The temperature inside the air fryer is constant at 80-250 C, and the heat mainly spreads from two directions, the first direction radiates directly from the top, and the second direction is pushed to the bottom of the pan along the side of the pan by the fan, and then pushed back. This heat transfer mode makes the hot steam in the pot circulate rapidly and strongly all the time, which makes the cooked food appear attractive golden yellow, and at the same time, it discharges a lot of excess oil (up to 80%) in the food.
