Get rid of your fat: hot air fryers in use
The flavour and crunchiness of fried foods are something very special. But too frequent consumption of fried foods can cause problems for the body in the long term. But that doesn't mean that fries and sausages need to be given up completely. Fryers without fat manage to imitate the taste experience and consistency of food fried in fat almost perfectly - simply with hot air. This guide explains how this works and what additional advantages frying without fat has.
Why frying without fat is a benefit?
How to make crispy and delicious food without any fat!
Fried food is popular all over the world. But the food cooked in a lot of oil can have some disadvantages. High fat content makes fried foods high in calories and excessive heating of oil can produce harmful substances that are suspected of being carcinogenic. When frying without fat or oil, foods are often healthier and there is less grease smells, which is a benefit for small kitchens.
Deep fryer without fat: the air fryer
In recent years, Air Fryers have become increasing popular, due to their ease of use, practical small appliance size and relatively cheap cost to purchase.

Tips for buying an Air Fryer
There is a large variety of Air Fryers avaliable to buy from retailers and they differ in terms of capacity, appliance size, cost and different settings and features. When considering which Air Fryer to purchase you should consider the following:
- The handle and outer shell should be made of heat-resistant material.
- A non-stick layer ensures that the food does not stick in the air fryer.
- Extras such as a stirrer, a rotisserie or grill grate are practical for using the fryer without fat for many different dishes.
- The capacity size - for example a single household needs a smaller appliance than a family of four.
- For easy cleaning, the removable parts of the air fryer should be dishwasher safe.
