Air frying is a cooking method that uses hot air circulation to cook food, mimicking the results of deep frying but with significantly less oil. This technique allows for a crispy texture on the outside while keeping the inside moist. Many people use air fryers to prepare a variety of foods, including vegetables, meats, and even desserts. The appliance itself is compact and often features adjustable temperature settings and timers, making it user-friendly. Air fryers are popular for their ability to create healthier meals by reducing fat content, as they require little to no oil compared to traditional frying methods.
