What is the difference between Air Fryer and traditional frying?

Air fryers and traditional deep-frying are two common cooking methods, but choosing between them can directly impact health, kitchen efficiency, and cooking results. As a leading air fryer manufacturer with over eight years of export experience, Zealkeep serves customers in Europe, Australia, Southeast Asia, and beyond. We explain the key differences between air fryers and traditional deep-frying through technical comparisons and performance data.

Core Technology Analysis

1. Traditional Deep Frying:

Food is submerged in oil at 350°F–375°F (175°C–190°C).

Use 6-12 cups of cooking oil per batch.

The high thermal conductivity of oil allows food to cook quickly.

2. Air Frying:

Rapid air circulation technology circulates heat at 200°C–220°C at over 1,500 RPM.

Only 1 tablespoon or less of oil is required (up to 98% reduction).

360° airflow penetrates the food layer through convection.

Health Impact Analysis

1. Reduced Fat and Calories

Traditional method: Chicken wings absorb 14 grams of fat per 100 grams.

Air-frying: The same chicken wings absorb 4 grams of fat per 100 grams.

Calorie Savings: Air-frying can save up to 70%

2. Air fryers can prevent toxic compounds.

3. Air fryers can inhibit the formation of carcinogens:

Acrylamide (found in starchy fried foods) levels can be reduced by 90%

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) levels can be minimized

Safety Performance Analysis

1. Traditional frying uses high oil temperatures, which can easily cause burns.

2. Zealkeep air fryers include safety features:

Precise temperature control (±5°C differential)

Automatic power off after cooking
