Many people are familiar with the oven, but what the hell is this air fryer? What can it do? Can it replace the oven? Talk about it.

In fact, to put it bluntly: the air fryer uses a small amount of oil and hot air to bake, so that you can eat a feeling that it is better than fried. The principle is that it is not the hot oil that makes the food cooked, but the hot air. So which one is better?

We analyze from the following aspects:

1. Volume: The air fryer is basically equal to the size of a small oven and is easy to store.

2. Efficiency: The air fryer does not need to be preheated, and can be produced faster. Of course, it is definitely not as fast as direct frying.

3. Price: Generally, a small oven can bake basic chicken wings at about 200 yuan.

4. Taste: Air frying and oven products have different tastes. There is no better or worse, but I think one thing is that air frying can be used for baking, but it is difficult to fry in ovens.

My personal suggestion: friends, if you can only choose one, you might as well consider a small oven first, for the following reasons:

1. Anyway, if you don't study baking, why do you need to spend more money to meet the needs of a hundred yuan?

2. You are not in a hurry anyway. If you bake slowly, you should slow down. It is only a few minutes difference.

3. Although the oven cannot be fried and crispy, the function is enough to meet your ordinary daily needs. In case one day you want to study cooking on a whim, the oven may be able to help you.

According to your needs, we recommend several ovens that are cost-effective:

Changhong small baking oven (618 to hand price 79 yuan)

Supor automatic 35L oven (the price is 269 yuan, suitable for family use)

But if you think I'm a simple oven party, that's naive. In fact, I belong to the kind of face slapper who buys an air fryer after owning an oven and it smells so good!

The following three uses are the aspects that I have experienced and feel that the performance of air blasting is not bad:

Low-fat cooking: This is why I decided to buy an air fryer to try. The oil that comes with the meat itself will be forced out. Even vegetables, if they are brushed with a layer of oil, they will taste good.

Reheated fried food: The peak of the taste of fried food itself is the moment it is just fried out of the pan. I have tried reheating in the oven and microwave before, and the effect of re-frying is not satisfactory. This is where I say that air frying is slightly better.

Roasted seeds and seeds moisture-proof: Dry food is particularly prone to damp and scrapped, so it will be placed in the fryer to remove moisture to preserve the taste.

So I think the biggest advantage of the air fryer is to seek a balance between health and taste. It enriches our table like an oven steamer. From this point of view, it is also a good small kitchen appliance.

My own experience with this air fryer is as follows:

1. Affordable price: The original price is more than 400. If you encounter various activities, the price/performance ratio can reach the peak. Now you can also cross-store full discount, 300-40 yuan coupons.

2. Large capacity is easy to operate: 3-4L capacity meets daily needs, mechanical operation, only two knobs to control time and temperature. No matter how large the capacity is, you can look at Liren's. I saw that he had 8L and 10L models at the time, and the price was not expensive.

3. The cooking effect is good: fried chicken wings, roasted sweet potatoes and roasted peanuts are all very satisfying. The time in the recipe is for reference only. In the early stage, everyone must rely on their own taste and habits to explore the most suitable time.

4. The operation is sound but tolerable: There is a sound of operation when cooking, but within the tolerable range, it is not noise. At most, it means turning on an ordinary electric fan in summer. Anyway, I have never encountered a completely silent electrical appliance.

5. Easy to clean: When cooking, remember to put tinfoil oil paper on it, which can prevent the oil and sugar from the food itself from sticking to the pan. After the machine is turned off to dissipate heat, wipe it with a rag or something, then dry it and put it away. That's it.

6. In terms of price: it is suggested that the upper limit of the budget can be controlled at around 500. Because honestly buying such things is not about the more functions of expensive things, but whether the more affordable ones meet your needs. Don't look at what you have, just look at what I want, that's probably what it means.
