? The air fryer can be thought of as a small oven that can be used to bake food. The operation is still very friendly to the novice, and very convenient. Not only can you do normal deep-frying, snacks and refreshments like cakes and pizzas can also be done with an air fryer.
? But the air fryer also has shortcomings, that is, fried food is still not very healthy, though compared to the oven and traditional deep-fried better, but still eat less is better.
The air fryer is still friendly to kitchen novices? I'm a non-cook myself, and sometimes I'm too scared to hit the gas at home, but I can get myself some potato fries or hashbrowns for dinner. In my opinion, the air fryer is kind of the ultimate benefit for kitchen hackers.
? It's easy to operate. Generally speaking, the air fryer needs to be preheated for 5 minutes before use, at which time we can prepare the following ingredients. After the preheating time, put the ingredients into the frying basket, push the fryer back and set the time we need to cook.
? Sometimes certain ingredients need to be constantly turned in order to be heated evenly, we also just need to pull it out and turn it a few times and push it back in, and the heat won't burn your hands. When the time is over, you can enjoy the food.
? So, for kitchen whites, there's no gas or anything like that, just put the ingredients in and wait, nothing to operate content, and it's easy to get started.
Air fryers do bring convenience and benefits too? First of all, air fryer cooking will reduce the fat content of the food itself. By generating a high-speed convection of hot air while it's working, it promotes the precipitation of fat from the food itself. This generally reduces the fat content of the food by 20%-50%, slightly healthier in layman's terms.
? In addition, the cooking temperature of the air fryer can be controlled by yourself. Compared to deep-frying, where the temperature is uncontrollable, when you use an air fryer, you can try to keep the cooking temperature as low as possible while maintaining the cooking results.
But air fryer food can't be eaten every day? Just because it was mentioned above that air fryers are lower fat and healthier doesn't mean that air fryers are completely healthy food. Essentially, all the frying, grilling, etc. is what is known in nutritional terms as junk food. Once ingredients are baked at high temperatures, the nutrients inside are lost, and we don't get the appropriate amount of adequate nutrition from these types of foods.
? In addition, high-temperature baking produces some soot, which adheres to the food and may contribute to the body's oxidative-antioxidant balance in the long term.
? Not only that, but food heated at high temperatures may produce chemicals that are harmful to humans, such as acrylamide: a component classified by IARC as a class 2A carcinogen. But there is currently insufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in humans, based only on carcinogenicity data from experimental animals.
So how should we normally use it?? In fact, we don't have to worry about the air fryer, it's just as risky to switch to a regular frying pan or oven. Because as long as there are reducing sugars and proteins in the food, this reaction will occur once high temperature cooking is involved.
? So there's no need to worry about air fryers causing cancer, and it's safer to zap fries for a change every now and then than it is for you to go to a fast food restaurant and buy fries. However, it is recommended to eat less fried food and more fresh vegetables in your daily life.
? All in all, air fryer is the biggest benefit for kitchen whites like me, you can eat food without having to cook yourself, and the operation is also very convenient. But we still need to pay attention, or do not eat every day this kind of high-temperature baking out of things, some or not healthy, reasonable use of the best.
