What Is an Air Fryer?
An air fryer is a small countertop convection oven that's designed to simulate deep-frying without the need for submerging foods in oil. These days, air fryers come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and models. But typically, an air fryer has a fan at the top (or in the back) that circulates hot air at high speeds around the food being cooked, which results in crispy snacks, sides, main courses and all-around munch-worthy goodness.
