Whether or not the calorie content of something fried in an air fryer is high depends on whether or not additional cooking oil is added during frying; if not, the calorie content is close to that of the original food.
Air fryer is the use of air to “frying” machine, its main role is to use the air itself to take away the moisture on the surface of the food, so that the food crispy, similar to the effect of deep-fried.
An air fryer is essentially a simple oven with a fan. Whether or not air fryer food is high in heat depends on whether or not additional cooking oil is added before cooking. If none is added, then the calories are essentially the same as the original food.
When using an air fryer, it is recommended to try to control the cooking temperature as well as the cooking time of the air fryer. If battering occurs, carcinogens such as benzo(a)pyrene and acrylamide on its surface will increase by 10 to 20 times as compared with ordinary food, increasing the risk of cancer.
In daily life, it is recommended to choose more quick stir-fry, boiled or steamed to cook.
