Air fryer recipes are hitting the internet every single day by the hundreds and you must switch to it. Experts have calculated that, using the air frying method while cooking will cut calories by almost 80% just because it uses the minimum oil required to cook a recipe. Therefore it has a lot less fat and completely avoids the harmful effects of frying. The air fryer works on a very simple mechanism whereby, the top part of the device has a heating mechanism and fan.
