The harms of air fryers mainly include the following::
The air fryer produces less electrical radiation during use.
Air fryers can produce grease and noise hazards when used. When using an air fryer to cook ingredients such as vegetables or potatoes, oil is still required, so it is inevitable that the fried food will cause grease hazards. The air fryer will emit a sound similar to that of a blower in use, and the sound is more obvious, which is easy to form noise pollution for kitchens with relatively small space.
When using an air fryer, the temperature is too high, and burns are prone to occur. As a high-temperature running equipment, high temperatures will be generated during operation, so during the preheating and cooking process of the air fryer, try to minimize the internal contact to avoid scalding.
High-temperature cooking carries a risk of cancer. High-temperature cooking of food produces acrylamide, which was identified as a 2A carcinogen in 1994.
While there are some potential hazards associated with air fryers, these risks can be minimized as long as they are used correctly. For example, avoid excessive heating when using, reduce the use of grease, and pay attention to safe handling.
