How to cook with Air Fryer

An air fryer can be described as a cooking appliance that fries food without oil or fat. This device uses hot air heat to steam food. It is healthier than deep frying. An air fryer's main advantage over conventional ovens is the fact that they use no heat source below 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 Celsius).

Others also have automatic shut off features and LCD screens. They are usually made out of stainless steel or aluminum materials. Some models even have a built-in barbecue, which can be used at home to grill meats or vegetables.
