The Benefits of Air Frying
Air fryers are kitchen appliances that use hot air to cook food. They're a healthier alternative to deep fryers that use oil. Air fryers are also quicker and easier to use compared to traditional ovens. You can cook a wide range of foods in an air fryer, from vegetables to meats, and even desserts.
