The air fryer is known as "oil-free" or even "low in oil", but it is not necessary to put oil except pork belly, chicken wings, mutton and squid, which have high oil content.
Take French fries as an example, French fries should be brushed with scallion oil and salt and pepper before entering the oven, and then baked for 15~20 minutes. French fries are very oily. Cooking without oil or with less oil will not taste and taste good.
Compared with ordinary frying, the fat content of food cooked in air fryer is indeed lower, but its heating temperature exceeds 120℃, mostly at 180℃~200℃, which will produce acrylamide, a suspected carcinogen. Eating this food for a long time is harmful to human body.
