Before I bought air fryer , I also did a lot of homework online. But when I really bought it, I realized that those purchasing tutorials were simply nonsense. For example, they said they wanted to buy a removable pull-out basket , which would make it easy to clean. When I bought it, I found that there are no products that cannot be removed from the pull-out basket? They also said they wanted to choose a 360° internal circulation pot. They only realized when they bought it that a pot without internal circulation pot is not an air fryer at all!

Since two years ago, I started buying air fryers. Some are not easy to use and they will be refunded directly, while others are not ideal to give it to others. After all, I have bought 5 air fryers - now I have left two at home.

If you want to talk about purchasing experience, I am afraid that few people have more abundant experience than me. Now, as a experienced person, I will summarize how to buy an air fryer! By the way, I have to say "Would you like to buy an air fryer?" For example, after I bought a 5-piece air fryer, I found that I was not suitable for using an air fryer at all.

[Purchase Key Points 1] Capacity

The capacity of the air fryer ranges from two or three liters to more than ten liters, and no matter how many liters, the merchant will write three big words on the details page: large capacity! For rice cookers, three to five liters are indeed a large capacity, but it is far from enough for air fryers.

The food in the air fryer often needs to be spread out, so it seems to be quite a big pot, but in fact it cannot put much ingredients in it. The 3L rice cooker is enough for a family of three, and the 3L air fryer is barely enough for one person to eat.

Therefore, it is recommended to buy a larger one: at least 5L or more. The two pots I left behind are 7L and 12L, which is very satisfying.

[Purchase Key Points 2] Shape

The shape of the air fryer can be divided into two types: vertical and flat. The vertical air fryer looks similar to that of a rice cooker, with a small diameter and a large height. The flat empty fryer is like an electric pancake pan , big and flat.

Personally I prefer a flat-shaped air fryer because when we use an air fryer, the food needs to be spread out. Flat pan can put down more ingredients. If it is vertical, there will be a lot of space being wasted.

Of course, it depends on your cooking habits: if you mainly use it for fried chicken and fries, then the vertical pot is fine, because this type of food can be stacked.

[Purchase Points 3] Power

From my experience of buying so many air fryers, the power of the air fryer is only two specifications available: 1200W and 1500W. The difference between the two is not the heating speed, but the material of the heating pipe.

200W power air fryer is generally equipped with a light wave heating tube. The characteristic of this heating tube is that it has a fast heating speed, so its power can be lower (power saving). However, this kind of heating pipe is relatively fragile and will be damaged if it is bumped.

And after each cleaning, it is possible to cause scratches on the surface of the heating pipe. If there are too many scratches, it will affect the heating efficiency of the heating pipe, making the pot more and more difficult to use.

500W power air fryer is equipped with a stainless steel heating pipe. The heating pipes like are relatively traditional and have a slow heating speed. In order to achieve sufficient working efficiency, they can only increase the power. But it is very durable, and even if the pot is broken, the heating pipe can remain intact.

I think the two types of heating tubes are incomparable. The purchasing advice is: use frequency high, choose 1200W, and the power saving effect will be more obvious. The frequency of use is not high, so choose 1500W. It doesn’t matter if you use it once occasionally, but it takes a longer service life.

[Purchase Points 4] Viewable window

has only one recommendation for the appearance of the visual window: be sure to bring a visual window. This way you can observe the food in the pot while cooking.

Don’t trust yourself too much, nor do you trust the preset menu of the Air Fryer too much. I have used the air fryer countless times, but none of them can succeed based on the temperature and time of the last time.

is mainly because the temperature in the air fryer changes too much, the ingredients are a little more and less, and the room temperature is slightly higher and lower, and the heat will be different. can only make the taste the best only by observing and roasting.

Is it suitable for you?

I have bought so many pots, and to be honest, I have indeed bought pots that are good to use. But even so, the frequency of using air fryers in my house is still very low. In the final analysis, the air fryer is not suitable for me.

air fryer, to put it bluntly, is just a cooking tool: it can make low-oil, dry dishes.

But the purpose of my purchase of air fryers is to lose weight. Unfortunately, it is difficult to make a weight loss meal when cooking in the air fryer. It just makes unhealthy food a little healthier -

For example, fried chicken is unhealthy, and air fryer chicken a little less oil will be a little healthier. But no matter how healthy it is, it is not as healthy as vegetables and fruits.

People who want to pursue delicious food are not suitable for using air fryers. air fryer can replace oil pans and ovens, but the food produced is not as delicious as oil pans and ovens. So if you are pursuing a taste bud experience, it is recommended to choose an oven.
