It uses rapid air circulation technology to cook food evenly and give it a crispy texture, much like frying\u2014but with significantly less fat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s perfect for frying, baking, roasting, and even reheating your favorite snacks and meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%92%A1_How_Does_an_Air_Fryer_Work\"><\/span>\ud83d\udca1 How Does an Air Fryer Work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The air fryer works by circulating hot air around the food at high speed, which cooks the food and creates a crispy outer layer.
