The chicken wings fried in the air fryer will also produce oil, and with the bread crumbs and eggs wrapped, the heat is not low.
However, compared with ordinary frying, the oil content of food fried in air fryer is much less. The calories will also be lower than those of ordinary frying. From this perspective, the air fryer is really "healthy".
After all, frying is not as good as cooking methods such as boiling and steaming. Among many cooking methods, boiling and steaming can better retain the nutritional components of food. And it can be done with less oil and less salt. But in this way, you won't feel the pleasure of "eating", let alone enjoying the food.
Advantages of air fryer:
1, covering a small area.
If the kitchen area at home is not large, the big oven will take up a lot of space, but the air fryer is usually slightly larger than the rice cooker, which is very convenient to move.
2, no oil
Making food for 1-2 people is very handy, and you can fry as much as you eat. Unlike real fried food, it needs a lot of frying because a large pot of oil is used. If it is not destroyed immediately, it will taste bad.
Some nutrition experts suggest that if air fryer is used, the temperature should be controlled as much as possible, the heating time should be reduced, the heat-labile nutrients in the food should be kept as much as possible, and the harmful substances produced by high temperature should be reduced under the premise of ensuring the maturity and hygiene safety of food.
