This means that you don't have any risk of cooking your food as there is no direct heat contact with the flame. It doesn't require oil so it is healthy and green. But, there are some who feel it makes too much fat.

The first version of an air fryer was invented in Japan around 1970. The first air fryer was sold in America in 1980. Many companies have since developed new models for air fryers. There are many options for air fryers today. Some have timers or temperature controls. Others also have automatic shut off features and LCD screens. They are often made from stainless steel or aluminum. Many models come with a built in grill so that you can grill meats and vegetables at home. You can buy these appliances online or in stores like Home Depot, Target, Walmart, Costco, Bed Bath & Beyond, Amazon, Sears, Best Buy, and others.
