Discover the statements of some voices that are not so clear about it and the role that the Chef Ramsey at the launch of these culinary appliances.
Your market launch
What kind of sorcery is this? Was it conceivable twenty years ago fry without oil? Fortunately, today it is. The idea came to an engineer named Fred van der Weij. This one bought a fryer without oil in the telemarketer for several years before launching his own invention. He was disappointed with the results. He was not convinced and went to work to improve it.
This invention was patented in the year 2005 by Turbochef Technologies. The idea was to launch it on the market of the large hotel and restaurant chains. Five years later was when the giant Phillips He presented it at a consumer electronics fair in Berlin. This is called International radio exhibition And it wasn't exactly his springboard to success.
It went unnoticed until the chefs Emeril lagasse y Gordon Ramsey they began to advertise it. The latter will sound to you from the program "Nightmare in the kitchen" original in English. What the marketers did was show them using it while raving about it. In addition, they created a website and a recipe book that can be prepared with this gadget.
How does the air fryer work?
The first thing to say is that the artifact has skipped the definition of the RAE of the word "fry". This is: "To make a raw food ready to be eaten, keeping it in boiling oil or fat for the necessary time." The last part of the fat does not apply since the one that performs the function is the air. This circulates to 200 degrees in the form of very fast currents around food. This cooks the ingredients and can actually burn them if you're not careful.
The scientists achieved this air stream putting a heat source down and up a fan. In this way, the machine disperses the hot air. Thus, the food is cooked both internally and externally, where a crisp layer appears. The benefits it offers are basically two. Prepare food in a less time the one in the pan is the first. The other is reduce fat intake typical of foods fried in oil. This can be accomplished in a 80% according to Phillips. However, some people disagree.
The cons
La Organization of Consumers and Users (OCU) studied the issue last year and concluded that they are not worth what they cost. They tested air fryer brand Tefal and a Phillips, after which they clarified that one is not worth it. One of the problems they found was that the food was not cooked properly. homogeneous shape. Therefore, some areas were made more than others. Also, the potatoes were not crispy and they tasted raw. Most likely, the temperature of the moving air was not the same throughout the fryer.
Another cons is that they consume more electricity than a conventional electric fryer. They give an example Philips Air Fryer. This one needs some 390 Wh to fry half a kilo of potatoes, a 25% more electricity than a classic deep fryer uses. In addition, they argue that not all of them are so fast. They indicate that it may take time ten more minutes than conventional ones. This can be a problem due to the appearance of acrylamides. They are potentially carcinogenic substances that are formed during long frying processes of foods rich in carbohydrates.
His conclusion is that it is not worth paying more for something that does not bring you benefits. However, the market for air fryers it is getting wider. Innovation in search of a more efficient product that can be sold at a lower price is underway. Magazine Business Insider has its top in which some stand out like Aicok. They precisely praise its value for money. Others like Aigostar Dragon Pro 30LDX They stand out for their speed. There are even those that can cook two dishes at the same time: Tefal ActiFry 2 in 1.
