How do air-fryers work?

612 views

If you’re using oil, I assume it heats then atomizes the oil so it cooks the food item in hot oil by coating it with a mist rather than the traditional method of dunking it in liquid oil, but it says on the box you can cook many items with no oil.. so how is this different from just baking/roasting them in a traditional oven?

ETA: Thanks everyone!

Yep. It’s the same as an oven, but it is small and with a fan that is bigger and faster relative to the size of the air fryer.

Things tend to heat and subsequently to cook faster for these reasons. I’ve been using it to do personal oven stuff much quicker, or to just heat stuff up instead of the microwave. You can also use a bit of oil on food, so you get a type of oily fried food without preparing whole tub of hot oil.

Honestly, a skillet and an air fryer and you’d be set for a lot of cooking.
