The principle of Air Fryer products.

The Air Fryer works mainly by using a hot air convection system, which is a high-speed air circulation technology. It generates hot air by heating the heat pipe inside the machine at high temperatures and then using a fan to blow the hot air into the pan to heat the food, circulating the hot air in an enclosed space and using the food's fat to fry the food, thus dehydrating the food and making the surface golden and crispy to achieve the frying effect. So, the Air Fryer is a simple oven with a fan. The reason it doesn't use oil is that it uses the fat from the food itself to act as a medium to dehydrate the food and make the surface crispy and golden, similar to frying. The fact that no oil or a small amount of oil is needed to bake the food compared to a conventional oven makes it healthier, which is the main reason for its popularity.

Technical description of the Air Fryer.

Circulation technology

The Air Fryer uses high-speed air circulation technology to make delicious chips that are up to 80% less fat than traditional electric fryers! The unique combination of fast circulating hot air and oven components allows you to fry all kinds of delicious food snacks, seafood, and more quickly and easily. Because you only use air for frying, it produces less odor and steam than conventional frying and is easy to clean in everyday use, making it safe and economical!

Temperature control

The Air Fryer allows you to preset the optimum cooking temperature for your food up to 200 degrees. Enjoy golden-colored crispy fries, snacks, chicken, meat, and more, all at the right temperature for optimum results!

What is the difference between the Air Fryer and the oven?

The Air Fryer is similar to a convection oven (oven plus fan) and uses hot air circulation to cook the food, with the heating element near the food providing the heat source and the fan allowing the hot air to circulate. Traditional frying methods submerge the food completely in hot oil (the temperature of the oil is much higher than the boiling point of water) and cause a Maillard reaction at temperatures between 140°C and 165°C. The Maillard reaction is a reaction of amino acids and reductions in the temperature of the food. The Maillard reaction is a chemical reaction between amino acids and reducing sugars that causes the food to brown, producing flavor compounds that give the food its unique flavor. In comparison, the Air Fryer uses less oil, reducing the amount of oil used in frying foods such as chips by 70-80%, and the Air Fryer has its culinary flavor to the food, whereas traditional frying would have a large amount of oil-soaked into the food adding to the flavor of the oil.

The Air Fryer is a common everyday kitchen appliance for roasting and heating, where food is placed on a rack and heated up or down the food. Tends to leave food with a drier texture. A fan can be used to assist the oven and increase the circulation of air, this convection oven is essentially the same as the Air Fryer. The Air Fryer is, of course, more compact and the fan is closer to the food, concentrating a lot of heat in a smaller area and cooking faster than in a convection oven. Convection ovens are more convenient for cooking large batches of food, but the placement of multiple layers of food also hinders some air convection efficiency.
