 Although food fried with Airfryer is healthier, beware!


Airfryer, which has become the choice of those who do not want to spend a long time in the kitchen, offers the convenience of preparing many types of food in a short time with the savings it provides. Cooking foods faster with high heat also brings questions like "Does it cause a loss of value in nutrients?". It causes less value loss of food cooked with Airfryer compared to other cooking methods. Asst. Prof. Dr. Sema Aydın, Food Engineer from Istanbul Gelisim University (IGU), Faculty of Applied Sciences, Department of Gastronomy and Culinary Arts, remarked that frying with Airfryer may cause the formation of some compounds related to cancer development, such as acrylamide.
