The principle of the air fryer is to use hot air to circulate, and the food moisture will be continuously taken away during the cooking process, so the food taste will be dry. The air fryer with a steam box can provide water vapor during the cooking process to make the food taste more delicious. Happliy speaking, this function of water vapor is the most obvious when making French fries, and it is completely two Taste.
The so-called steam frying is to inject water to vaporize to keep the humidity in the fryer. The taste of the finished product is neither dry nor firewood. Is it necessary to replenish water? I don’t know if you have ever eaten “Twice-cooked Twice-cooked Pork”. After eating the leftover Twice-cooked Pork, it has been reheated several times, resulting in excessive water loss and the meat becoming dry and hard.
Occasionally, I still feel chewy when I eat it once or twice, but I can’t resist eating it often… In this case, I will heat this plate of meat in the steamer of the rice cooker, so that the taste can be restored The meat is soft and tender. The common problem of air frying: strong hot air circulation will cause more water loss on the surface of the ingredients, and the taste is the same as “twice-cooked pork”
1. Capacity( volume of the air fryer )
Basically, the larger the capacity of the air fryer, the more ingredients it can hold. You have to consider your personal needs when purchasing. For example, a small family is suitable for 3-5L. If you usually like to invite friends to parties, you can choose a large-capacity air fryer, and you can also consider a capacity of 5L or more.
2.Rated power
Generally , the power of the air fryer is around 800-1500W, and the higher the power, the faster the heating will be. It is recommended to choose more than 1200W. But it should be noted that the power of the air fryer is not the bigger the better!
3.Operation mode – core points
Usually there are two knob switches for temperature adjustment and timing.
Knob switches operation: The temperature and time are all controlled by yourself. You need to have a certain understanding of the heating time of the ingredients, and you need to know the heating time; the operation is simple and it is more friendly to the elderly.
Touch screen operation: generally controlled by a computer, you can bake the ingredients according to the set program, and you can see the appointment and heating time; the operation is more complicated, not friendly to the elderly, and the price is relatively expensive.
4. Security
Safety only needs to extract functions such as automatic power-off protection and heat insulation protection. Extraction automatic power off protection, we need to extract the pan to check the food status and turn over the good during the cooking process, and the automatic power- off protection can ensure that we are not hurt.
And it can work again after putting it back, no need to set up again, and it is very convenient to use.
Heat insulation protection: The maximum temperature of the air fryer can reach 200°C, and the heat insulation protection function can ensure that we will not be scalded when we accidentally touch it or take it out together.
5. The visualization window
can intuitively check the food heating process, which is also the part that increases the functional experience.
