Are Air fryers a healthy way to cook your food?
Air frying is 100% Healthy! This trendy kitchen appliance is very safe to use, as it uses less oil for the preparation of this snack.
Deep frying uses a lot of oil, which can be cut short in the case of the air fryer. There is rapid hot air circulation along with the dripping of tiny droplets of oil inside the deep fryer.
The Air fryer makes it work perfectly without the use of a high amount of oil. And this results in the formation of a brown & crispy layer offering a wonderful taste to the dish. This method avoids the formation of harmful compounds and has less fat content compared to deep-fried food.
