What is the core working principle of air fryers

As an innovative appliance in modern kitchens, the core working principle of the air fryer relies on advanced high-speed hot air circulation technology. The equipment is equipped with an efficient electric heating tube and a powerful fan. The electric heating tube is responsible for quickly heating the air to the set temperature, while the fan quickly and evenly sends the heated hot air to the food surface, forming a continuous circulating hot air flow, thereby ensuring that the food is heated evenly during the cooking process. This unique heating mechanism allows the air fryer to simulate the crispy texture and golden color of traditional fried foods without using or with only a very small amount of cooking oil.

During the operation of the air fryer, the electric heating tube is first started and the air is quickly heated to the preset temperature. The current passes through the electric heating tube to the surrounding air, causing its temperature to rise rapidly. What followed was the start of a high-speed fan, and strong winds quickly blow hot air to the food surface. Due to the high speed of the fan, a strong airflow is formed in the cooking chamber. This airflow can not only heat the food surface quickly, but also effectively take away the moisture from the food surface, thereby promoting the discharge of oil and ultimately achieving an ideal crisp effect.

It is worth mentioning that the cooking process of the air fryer will also inspire Myrrard's reaction. The Myrrard reaction refers to the complex chemical reaction between proteins and sugars in food under high temperature environments. This reaction not only creates an attractive golden shell on the surface of the food, but also releases a unique aroma and flavor similar to fried food. The high-temperature environment and hot air circulation created by the air fryer provide ideal conditions for the Myrrard reaction, making the food cooked not only crispy and delicious in taste, but also attractive in color, fragrant and unique in flavor.

In addition, the design of the food basket of the air fryer is also one of the key factors in achieving efficient cooking. Food baskets usually have grid-like structures to ensure that hot air can evenly wrap ingredients from all directions. This design not only optimizes the heat transfer efficiency, but also effectively allows excess oil to flow into the oil-coating pan below, thereby achieving the purpose of healthy fat loss. At the same time, the material of the food basket has been carefully selected and usually uses a high-temperature resistant non-stick coating, which not only improves the convenience of cleaning, but also enhances the durability of the product, thereby further improving the practicality of the air fryer.
