An air-fryer is a combination of an oven and a deep fryer, which helps prepare healthier alternatives of meals, which are generally cooked in oil. This appliance uses circulated hot air to directly cook the food. The functioning might sound similar to that of an oven but it is the way an air-fryer is designed that makes it stand out. The air-fryer applies the convection process in cooking food, which is facilitated by a mechanical fan, which cooks the items in the cooking chamber.

This form of cooking requires a minimal layer of oil applied to the food that needs to be cooked. Hot air up to the temperature of 392F is circulated through the ingredients. This innovative method is what makes the air-fryer different from traditional frying techniques, as it eliminates around 80 percent of the oil that is applied. Depending on the brand of air-fryer, you will have a wide array of features like timer adjustments and heat control settings, which will help make the cooking more precise and convenient.

Air-fryers are well suited for home cooking but if you want to cook for a large number of people, you can use an air crisper at first to crisp the ingredients and then bake them in a convection oven. The technique might be the same but the air-fryer is more compact and produces less heat as compared to a convection oven.
