What is an Airfryer?
An Airfryer is a cooking appliance that uses the rapid circulation of hot air to cook food. The result? You get crispy, golden fries, juicy roast chicken, or even grilled vegetables, with very little or no oil at all.
Unlike a conventional fryer, where food is immersed in a bath of oil, the Airfryer reproduces the crispiness of deep-fried food with just a spoonful of oil, or sometimes none at all for certain foods that are already slightly greasy.
The Health Benefits of an Airfryer
-
Less fat and calories
- Reduces fat by 70 to 90% compared to a conventional fryer.
- Preserves your figure while providing the desired taste and texture.
-
Reduction of harmful compounds
-
Cooking at high temperatures with little oil reduces the formation of acrylamide, a potentially carcinogenic substance produced during traditional frying.
-
-
Cleaner cooking
- Fewer lingering odors in the kitchen.
- No used oil bath to dispose of, better for the environment.
-
Versatility in everyday life
-
Prepare meats, fish, vegetables, gratins, falafels, homemade pizzas… and even desserts like muffins or baked apples.
-
A trend that extends to ovens
Although the Airfryer isn’t a recent invention, its integration into other appliances is much more recent. Siemens, Bosch, Gaggenau, Miele, AEG, and Neff now offer this technology integrated directly into certain multifunction oven models.
So, there’s no need for an additional appliance on your countertop. Your oven can now offer a specific “Airfry” mode, using optimized temperatures and airflow for this healthy and fast cooking.
Good to know: At Kichechef, we offer both options:
- Ninja’s compact and powerful portable airfryers are perfect for everyday use.
- Built-in ovens with an airfry function are ideal if you’re considering replacing or upgrading your kitchen.
Why choose an Airfryer?
- To eat healthier without sacrificing crispness.
- For speed and ease of use.
- For versatility: one appliance that replaces several cooking methods.
- For reducing grease and unpleasant odors.
It quickly became a must-have, both for preparing quick weekday meals and for cooking crispy fries or vegetables without guilt.
