What is Air Fryer and why choose the 3.5L capacity?
The principle of Air Fryer is to use high-speed hot air circulation in a confined space, and blow hot air evenly to the ingredients through the top heating tube and fan to achieve a "no frying" effect. Compared with traditional frying methods, air fryers require almost no oil or only a small amount of oil to fry crispy outside and tender inside, greatly reducing fat intake, helping to control weight and cardiovascular health.
The 3.5L capacity just meets the daily needs of a family of 2-4 people. It can handle daily breakfast and bento making, as well as weekend gatherings or family dinners. It is a cost-effective choice for small kitchens. Whether it is roasted chicken legs, French fries, chicken wings, baked vegetables, French toast, or even cakes, the 3.5L capacity can easily handle it.
Detailed explanation of functional highlights
Fast heating, evenly locking in freshness: The 3.5L Air Fryer is equipped with a high-power heating element that can reach a high temperature of more than 200°C in a short time. At the same time, the internal hot air duct is scientifically designed to form a 360° three-dimensional heat circulation, allowing the surface of the food to quickly form a crispy and golden "fried skin", while the inside remains juicy and original.
Multi-stage temperature control, free control of time: The equipment is usually equipped with a temperature adjustment range of 80°C to 200°C, and the optimal cooking temperature can be set according to different ingredients to avoid overheating or nutrient loss. With the 0-30 minute timing function, users can complete frying, baking, heating and other processes without watching the pot.
Preset menu, kitchen novices can also become chefs: Some models also support intelligent preset programs, such as "French fries mode", "Chicken wings mode", "Cake mode", "Baking mode", etc. Users only need to select the category of ingredients, and the device will automatically match the time and temperature to achieve one-click cooking, greatly reducing the learning curve.
Removable non-stick basket, easy to clean and non-greasy: 3.5L Air Fryer generally adopts a removable frying basket and oil tank design, and the inner wall is mostly food-grade non-stick coating. Whether it is oil stains or food residues, just rinse with water and wipe gently with a soft cloth. Some models even support dishwasher cleaning, saving users the trouble of cleaning.
