Air fryers have revolutionised healthy cooking by delivering crispy results with little to no oil. But what makes them so effective? The answer lies in rapid air circulation and even heat distribution. Learn how to maximise this innovation with MyFibres.
The Science behind Air Frying
An air fryer uses a powerful fan and a heating element to circulate hot air around your food at high speed. This convection effect ensures heat reaches every surface evenly, unlike traditional ovens that often have hot spots.
The result?
Crispy texture outside
Tender and juicy inside
Faster cooking times
The basket design allows air to flow freely, preventing uneven cooking and ensuring every bite is perfectly golden.
Why Even Heat Distribution Matters
Even heat distribution is key to achieving that perfect crunch without excess oil. It guarantees:
No soggy spots;
Uniform browning;
A reduced need for flipping or stirring.
This makes air fryers ideal for many kinds of food, from fries and chicken wings to vegetables and pastries.
