Air fryers have been in the market for more than a decade and are one of the must-haves in modern households and small-scale restaurants and cafes. These air fryers are rapidly replacing traditional deep fryers as a healthier alternative to deep frying. Actual frying involves the immersion of food in hot oil. The hot oil dehydrates the surface of the ingredients, making the food crispy and delicious. Instead, air fryers mimic the effect of frying by blowing hot air on the food. It consists of a heating element such as an electric coil and a fan that blows air on the food. The hot air makes the food crispy and golden. In addition, it is a healthier option as it uses less or no oil as compared to deep fryers without compromising on taste, texture, and flavors. These air fryers are capable of making everything from breakfast to desserts.

Different Air Fryer Styles

Rapid urbanization and changing consumer preferences for low-fat or low-oil-based food due to the growing prevalence of lifestyle-associated diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disorders has resulted in increasing adoption of various types of air fryers. Air fryers come in a variety of styles and sizes. Some air fryers are simple, single units, while some have multi-functionality.

Basket Style: Basket style air fryers have evolved over the years in terms of aesthetics and cooking ability and are the most common type of air fryers seen in usual households. These are easy-to-use, compact air fryers that enable users to make various types of food such as cookies, pancakes, fries, and chicken among others.

Dual Basket Style: Dual basket style lets the user cook two different types of food at once which makes them great for making whole meals or cooking in extra-large batches. One of the key advantages of these air fryers is that each basket has its own oil pot.

Air Fryer Toaster Ovens: Air fryer toaster ovens are one of the trending air fryers widely used in restaurants, cafes, hotels and open spaces as these require more space than conventional air fryers. These are a combination of air fryer, oven, and toaster that can perform anywhere from 4 to 13 different functions including air frying, bagel, toasting, baking, slow cooking, roasting, broiling, reheating, warming, and dehydrating. Some models have rotisserie attachments for making rotisserie chicken or meat at home.
