Glossary and Terms Related to Air Fryers
Air Broil
Broiling is a cooking method that uses direct radiant heat or in the case of an Air Fryer, it uses hot air to cook food. The hot air circulates around the food, cooking it evenly. This method is similar to baking, but the food is cooked faster and at a higher temperature.
Air broiling is a healthy alternative to frying because it doesn’t use any oil. This means that you can cook your food without adding any extra fat or calories. Air fryers are also very versatile and can be used to cook a variety of foods.
Convection Heat
Air fryers are becoming a popular kitchen appliance because they offer a healthier alternative to deep frying. Convection heat is the key to how an air fryer works. Hot air circulates around the food, cooking it evenly and quickly.
If you’re considering buying an air fryer, here’s what you need to know about convection heat. Air fryers work by circulating hot air around the food. This type of cooking is called convection cooking, and it’s different from traditional frying methods.
In traditional frying, hot oil surrounds the food and cooks it from the outside in. With convection cooking, hot air circulates around the food, cooking it evenly and quickly. This means that you can cook food with less oil, and it will be just as crispy and delicious as deep-fried food.
