What are the dangers of an air fryer?Many people have the impression of a good kitchen helper for air fryers, but in fact, because there are many inferior air fryers on the market, and everyone's understanding of air fryers is usually superficial, they often encounter such products, burying hidden dangers for their own and their families' health, so it is particularly important to understand the dangers of air fryers and know how to deal with them. Therefore, as a small household appliance evaluation blogger, I will lead you today to understand the product knowledge such as the dangers of the air fryer, so as to make it a veritable kitchen artifact (to show you some of the air fryers I have evaluated).
OneWhat are the dangers of an air fryer?
What are the dangers of an air fryer?The harm of the air fryer is closely related to the inferior quality of the fryer itself, that is to say, the inferior air fryer is the root cause of the harm, from the external performance, the inferior air fryer will not only produce a pungent smell when cooking, but also the coating will fall off, and the most fundamental thing is that they generally have the following five major slot drawbacks, which pose a great threat to everyone's dietary safety and health.
Produces acrylamide carcinogens
Due to the unscientific power setting and diversion design of inferior air fryer, it is easy to have uneven heat conductivity when heating, and places with too high temperature are easy to burn food and produce acrylamide, which is a carcinogen with a high risk factor.
Excessive radiation to the human body
Radiation will occur in the use of any electrical appliances, but for inferior air fryers, most of their materials and designs cut corners, so the radiation control is very poor, and high radiation levels are prone to occur in use, affecting health and safety.
It is easy to cause burns
Many inferior air fryers generally have the problem of uneven temperature distribution during the heating process, which will cause local overheating, which can easily cause burns if accidentally touched, especially for children.
Use of inferior non-stick coatings
In order to reduce costs, the non-stick coating of inferior air fryers mostly uses inferior materials, which are easily damaged and release harmful substances at high temperatures, and are generally not wear-resistant, not resistant to high temperatures, and potentially harmful.
5. Poor material consumption of the visual window
The visual window is convenient for observing the cooking state of food, which is the common configuration of high-end air fryers, but the material of the visual window of the inferior air fryer is poor, and it is easy to produce toxic and irritating odors at high temperatures, and there are many poor heat insulation, and there are many scalding accidents.
II. II. IIWhat are the benefits of an air fryer?
What are the dangers of an air fryer?We talked about the dangers of inferior air fryers earlier, so we also want to talk about the advantages of the corresponding high-quality air fryers, so that everyone's cognition can be more three-dimensional. So what are the benefits of an air fryer?There are also five benefits:
Hygienic and easy to clean
The hygienic cleaning of the air fryer is very simple, especially the air fryer with a flat baking plate, which only needs to be gently wiped to be as clean as new, without wasting time and effort.
Food is healthier
Cooking in an air fryer is basically carried out without oil and with little oil, so the food cooked is low in oil and fat, which meets the requirements of modern healthy food.
Automated cooking
The function setting of the air fryer is very intimate, there are various timing functions, you only need to set it to run automatically, and there is no need for people to be on site when cooking.
Easy to use
The operation of the air fryer is not complicated, you only need to put the ingredients into the fryer, set the appropriate time and temperature, and press the start, which is very worry-free and labor-saving compared to the many cumbersome processes of traditional fried food.
Fuel-efficient and tastier
The air fryer cooks with little or no oil, and the food cooked is exceptionally delicious and tastes greater.
Three**Four Routine Traps of Inferior Air Fryer!
What are the dangers of an air fryer?Now we understand the hazards and benefits of air fryers, and we also know that the difference between good and bad products can lead to two diametrically opposite results. If you buy and use an inferior air fryer, it will undoubtedly be harmful, and it will be a lot of complaints, and it is true, improper product selection is the most important reason why air fryers are widely complained about today, and the following figure is the voting result of negative slots on the whole network of air fryers, which strongly verifies our point of view.
As for why people always have improper product choices, this is naturally no wind and no waves, and there are deep reasons, that is, such inferior products often engage in some routines, so that everyone can't help but choose them, let's talk about the five commonly used routines:
1. Falsification of test reports
The test report is usually the endorsement of product quality, many low-quality products their own performance parameters are not up to standard, or simply workshop production, do not have the conditions to issue a test report, so often forge the test report, this kind of fraud is extremely irresponsible to consumers, we must keep our eyes open!
2. Low price attracts attention
Many inferior products are very moving, with ultra-low **, people can't help but buy, but behind the low price is inferior materials, rough workmanship, and the sacrifice is the overall quality of the product!
3. Promote that air fryers are harmless
There are also some inferior products that vigorously promote the harmlessness of air fryers, so that everyone relaxes their vigilance, but they don't know that this kind of product is very harmful, and it is easy to believe in the propaganda, and it is even more harmful!
4. False standard configuration
Many businesses are limited to their own technical capabilities, and there are shortcomings in the configuration, but in order to sell goods, they do not hesitate to falsely standard the configuration and parameters, the most typical is the capacity, and the small is large, so you must figure it out before you start.
Render high power
The power of the air fryer should be scientifically matched with its own capacity, but many inferior fryers exaggerate the power, making everyone mistakenly think that the greater the power, the better, and even ignore other defects of the product, laying hidden dangers for future use.
Fourth, eight tips for buying high-quality air fryers
What are the dangers of an air fryer?Above we talked about the mistakes that we are prone to make in the purchase of inferior air fryers, and then we will talk about how to choose high-quality air fryers from the front, in fact, the method is not complicated, we can do it according to the following eight points.
Choose a brand with technical strength
Try to choose a professional brand with technical research and development strength, such brands usually have high professional ability, rich technology research and development and accumulation, and have enough ability to adjust the core performance such as heating efficiency, thermal energy attenuation and temperature control accuracy, and the selection of materials for professional brands can pass a number of food-grade test reports.
useMade of stainless steelHeating element
The heating efficiency, durability and anti-aging characteristics of stainless steel heating tube are very good, in comparison, the heating efficiency of the light wave tube will be reduced in the later stage, while the general metal heating element itself has low heating efficiency and slow heating, and it is difficult to adapt to the needs of rapid heating.
PowerBe the right size
The power is moderate, generally speaking, try to choose the power at about 1500W, and the power and capacity should be coordinatedOn the contrary, it is easy to burn, which is not conducive to temperature control.
YesChild lock function
The child lock function can effectively avoid the occurrence of hot steam and hot gas burns due to accidentally opening the lid of the pot, which is a very intimate protection for families with children.
There is no peculiar smell during use
It is normal for the air fryer heating element to smell strange smells when it is first opened, but if you smell the same pungent smell as burning plastic while cooking, you should be careful, which usually means that the heating element material is inferior.
The heating method is:Hot air circulation
This heating method has high diversion efficiency, fast heating speed, and the heating process is more uniform, and the temperature control can be more fine, making the food more delicious.
Silicone coating is used
Air fryer coating is very important, inferior materials often release toxic irritant gases at high temperatures, which is not good for health, it is recommended that you choose a silicone coated fryer, which is safer than Teflon coating.
, temperature rangeThe setup is reasonable
Generally, the temperature range of the air fryer is 80-200, and it is meaningless to advertise a low temperature of 40 on the market, but if you have high requirements for the thawing temperature, you can choose to lower it to 60 degrees.
Although there are a lot of inferior fryers on the market, as long as you master these eight skills, it is not difficult to buy a high-quality air fryer.
