Is an airfryer healthy?

In an airfryer, you can cook ingredients with hot air. Unlike an oil fryer, you only need little or no oil to cook in an airfryer. This makes an airfryer more healthy than a deep fryer. Continue reading to discover how healthy an airfryer is and what makes an airfryer healthy.

Less oil

In an airfryer, you can prepare fries and snacks with hot air. This way, you only need little to no oil to cook. This way, your fries get less greasy, so they're healthier than fries from an oil fryer. You'll only need a spoonful of oil when you cook unprocessed food, like homemade fries or raw chicken. That fries and snacks from an airfryer are less greasy doesn't make them healthy. They still contain a lot of calories.

More vitamins

In addition to fries and snacks, you can also cook many other ingredients in an airfryer. For example, you can prepare healthy food like fish and vegetables. These unprocessed products are healthy on their own. If you prepare these products with hot air, they retain the nutrients and vitamins even better. In addition, you can also cook nice and crunchy vegetables.

Fewer harmful substances

To airfry even more healthily, you have to make sure you don't cook fries or other ingredients too dark. When that does happen, there's a chance there's a small amount amount of acrylamide. This substance is bad for your health in large amounts. You get this substance when you cook products that are rich in carbohydrates like fries above 120°C. For frozen fries, the acrylamide level is very low. It's best to let fresh fries soak in water for half an hour or to briefly cook them.
