The benefits derived from using the air fryer are limitless. Air fryers protect users who are nervous about getting burnt by oil or fire when they use the traditional chip pans. The controlled temperature, as well as the complex cooling systems of the air fryer, enables it to protect itself. When you make use of air fryers, you turn out meals or foods that are healthier and taste better. The appliance is environmentally friendly as well; the benefits are too numerous to mention, and only a trial run can buttress these facts.

Air fryers were launched in 2010, first in Europe and Australia, then later in Japan and North America. Air fryers have become a necessity nowadays in most contemporary kitchens. In Japan, air fryers are used for making fried prawns, while in the UK and the Netherlands, chips are made using air fryers. In the United States, Americans make use of the air fryer for the preparation of chicken wings. Even the Indians are not left out; they use air fryers for making samosa.

The air fryer is a modern-day kitchen appliance, and if you have ever seen several adverts about the air fryer, you must have wondered how it works. You may even have wondered about the health of an air fryer and how helpful it is to users. Congratulations! You are in the appropriate place to get the right answers to all your questions regarding the air fryer.

Air is used majorly in this kitchen appliance. The term air fryer may have given you an impression of the usage of hot air, and you are not far from the truth. An air fryer is a device that has been technologically transformed to cook food using superheated air, which is circulated within it.

Air fryers use Rapid Air Technology to cook almost any type of food that one would usually immerse in deep fat. This is how it works: air is circulated, increasing its temperature as high as 392oF/2000C, and is used to fry chips, chicken, fish, pastries, and so on. The use of Rapid Air Technology ushers in a new era of cooking appliances which, in turn, has birthed a new generation of cooking procedures or systems. With air fryers, foods become browned completely and made crispy using a small amount of fat as high as eighty percent less fat when compared to traditional methods of cooking such foods.

Located within the cooking chamber of an air fryer is a heating element that is strategically positioned near the food. This heating element radiates heat which cooks the food properly, uniformly and efficiently. An exhaust fan, which supplies the needed flow of air from the underside of the appliance, is situated above the cooking chamber and helps the heated air to pass through the food continuously.

An air fryer has a removable tray similar to the one found in a rice cooker, and within twelve minutes, a hot and crispy meal is served up. Any food you cook using the air fryer may appear fried due to its light and crunchy quality, but such foods are not only healthier but also have low amounts of calories. There is almost no type of food that requires using oil to cook them that cannot be made healthier using an air fryer. Such foods can be made using tiny amounts of fat. For example, to prepare a batch of chips, you will only require half a spoonful of oil, and within twelve minutes, crisp and crushable potatoes are served.

The amazing thing about air fryers is how fast they work; whether you are making French fries, hamburgers, cakes of steaks, the air fryer gets them done for you within a few minutes!

The exhaust system regulates the temperature that is intensified as a result of the internal pressure within an air fryer and emits more air (which is exhaustively filtered before discharged to the environment) that is necessary to cook food. Air fryers are not only user-friendly but eco-friendly as well odorless and nontoxic!

You have no reason to be afraid of the superheated air within an air fryer which is utilized in cooking food. An air fryer comes installed with an efficient cooling system, and this includes a fan that is mounted on top of a motor axis. This fan helps to control or regulate the internal temperature inside an air fryer as well as ensuring that the inside of the air fryer is healthy and free of contaminants. The cooling system allows the passage of fresh air to flow with the help of filters and continue to the innermost part of the fryer. The constant stream of air from the top of the fryer to the bottom contributes to cool the internal parts of the kitchen apparatus.

Question: Can we use the air fryer to cook different types of food?

Question: Is it possible to cook lots of food in an air fryer all at once?

Question: During cooking in an air fryer, can we add more ingredients?

Answer: Yes, it is possible for you to add more ingredients even when food is getting cooked in an air fryer. But ensure that you add the ingredients as soon as possible or else, the resulting heat loss will cause the food to take a longer time in cooking.
