Is Air Fried Food Healthy?

Air frying cuts up to 80% of the fat of traditional frying, making it a much healthier alternative. Most deep-fried recipes require 2 to 3 cups of oil. With the air fryer, you need only a tablespoon. Because air-fried meals are so much lighter, you will feel less bogged down after eating them.

Which is the Best Air Fryer?

My favorite is the Cosori Air Fryer. It's a 5.8 quart and 1700w and cooks at really great speeds. You can check out my Cosori Air Fryer review here.
