An air fryer is a kitchen appliance that uses hot air to cook food. When you use an air fryer your food is likely to be crispy.

Air fried food is much healthier as it do not have much oil, says Food24.

According to Food24– online publication with food recipes and qualified chefs- the combination of hot air and small amount of oil used by an air fryer to cook does not make the food dry, unlike the microwave that uses electromagnetic radiation to warm up food.

Faster than an oven

The above-mentioned source also mentions that using an air fryer to preheat food is faster than having to wait minutes before the oven is warm.
