1. preheating time/power:
Air fryer: 3-5 minutes/low power
Household oven:10-15min/high power
Analysis: The general specifications of the oven are 28L and 30L, and the air fryer is 3L, only 8L. Air fryer will take less time to make food than oven, and its power will be smaller and smaller, which will save more energy.
2. Heating principle/oil consumption:
Air fryer: hot air circulation system/few.
Household oven: heated/regulated by heating pipe.
Traditional frying: high temperature frying/oiliness
Analysis: People tend to eat high-fat and high-calorie foods in their daily lives. When food is fried, it is heated evenly, and the surface quickly caramelization to form a hard shell, thus locking the moisture inside the food and finally forming a soft taste outside. The air fryer uses hot air instead of hot oil, and the hot air with high temperature circulates quickly in a narrow space, heating food and taking away the moisture on the surface, thus making the appearance and taste of frying.
But the air fryer is not completely oil-free. Some meat with high fat content can be cooked without oil, but vegetables should be coated with a thin layer (compared with ordinary frying, air fryer is very friendly to people who lose weight and exercise)
3. Product volume/capacity
Air fryer: small volume/capacity
Household oven: large size/large capacity
Analysis: The volume of air fryer is almost smaller than that of rice cooker, which takes up no space and is easy to move. However, the oven has a wider range of temperature control and produces more dishes, which is one order of magnitude more than that of the air fryer. In addition to daily barbecue, roast lamb chops, roast whole chicken and other meats, toast, cakes, pizza and so on. It is also very convenient. The advantage of large capacity is that it can make food with larger weight, which is very suitable for many family scenes.
4. Smoke/cleaning
Air fryer: smokeless/clean frying basket
Household oven: there will be some oil smoke/clean the baking tray and the inside of the oven.
Analysis: The air fryer only needs to clean the fried blue. Ovens are generally heated up and down, and improper heating will cause food juice to drip on them, which is difficult to handle.
Summary:
To sum up, the air fryer will produce something between the oven and frying, but it is not so oily. The air fryer is time-saving, labor-saving and healthy, and is suitable for one to three people. The oven can greatly enrich your menu and is suitable for many people in the family. The principle of air fryer and oven is similar, but the main functions are different. Never treat the air fryer as a small oven.
Attach tips for using air fryer:
1. Pay attention to the food condition when using it for the first time and adjust the temperature at any time.
2. The food that needs to be turned over during the operation (almost all the food needs to be turned over) can be directly pulled out of the operation box, turned over and put back to continue baking (pay attention to the high temperature and be careful of burning hands).
3. When you use it, you can spread a layer of tin foil (you can wash the pot less, haha)
