Hot Air Circulation: Air fryers cook food by circulating hot air around the food at high speed. This rapid air movement cooks the food quickly and evenly.
Minimal Oil Usage: Unlike traditional frying methods, air fryers require only a small amount of oil (or sometimes none at all) to achieve a crispy exterior. This is done by coating the food lightly with oil or using a spray.
Heating Element: A heating element near the food basket generates the heat, which is then distributed by a fan.
Food Basket: Food is placed in a perforated basket or tray, allowing the hot air to circulate freely around it.
