ARE AIR FRYERS SAFE TO USE?
IS COOKING SAFE? IS HEAT SAFE? IS DEHYDRATION SAFE? ARE OVENS SAFE? ARE FATS SAFE? If you think these questions are unnecessary, then you can safely answer the question at hand.
Air Fryers are really just small-sized convection ovens (or OTGs) with a fan to circulate hot air more efficiently than in a large oven. This allows you to dehydrate the surface of foods really quickly and with very little oil. As long as you don’t char your food till it’s visibly dark brown or black all over, air-fried food is perfectly safe! Convection baking has been used by human beings since the dawn of cooking, and air fryers (despite their name) use the exact same physics of hot air transferring heat to food.
And if you are someone looking to cut down calories from fat and also like crispy textures, this appliance is perfect for you. As always, focus on what you are ultimately eating rather than the appliance.

That's a false argument, we've been able to reduce deaths due to preventable disease and improve mother and infant nutrition initiative which reduced child mortality rates and those measures have increased the life expectancy. What the above comment alluded to is quality of life. So your comment doesn't seem to be an apt counter.

Gotta be a joke! If you are sensitive to minimal risks, then you also need to avoid using mobile phones, microwaves, TV and other appliances that emit radiation. But in spite of using all these, our overall quality of life and longevity has increased. Vata.. lol.. As per ayurveda, you need to literally avoid all tasty food and masalas, but that's not practical. Sugar and excess carbs are also linked to lifestyle diseases and cancer. We consume all these and expect to avoid using air fryer to reduce risks! Stupidity is what it is!!

@krishashok 11 ай бұрын

It's not about individual ingredients or foods but the overall balance of your diet over a longer period. So, oil free is often sold as a healthier thing simply because of the fewer calories, but you are right. Eating fibre-free snacks made of maida with some fat is better than eating them without any fat
