An air fryer is a kitchen appliance that cooks by circulating hot air around the food.[1] A mechanical fan circulates the hot air around the food at high speed, cooking the food and producing a crispy layer.

By circulating air up to 200 Celsius,[2] this appliance fries several foods like potato chips, chicken, fish or pastries and it uses less oil than traditional fryer.

Most air fryers[3] come with adjustable temperature and timer knobs that allow for more precise cooking. Food is cooked in the cooking basket that sits atop a drip tray.

Various brands of air fryers claim to save as much as 80% cooking oil in comparison to traditional fryers. [4]
