Now more and more often you can hear that modern air grill can replace the oven, microwave, pan and other equipment. We will figure out whether this statement is actually true, and what are the disadvantages and advantages of this new technique?
Pick your recipe
The main advantage that can be distinguished in an air grill is the preparation of dishes without the use of oil, as well as other fats, which can not be said about cooking in a pan. This feature is especially important for those who follow a diet and care about their health.
The second advantage is that it is possible to carry out the same manipulations that can only be done in a microwave oven. That is, you can quickly warm up or unfreeze food, boil porridge, bake a pie, dry berries or greens, sterilize jars and baby bottles. Thus, in the air grill you can not only cook, but also perform many other functions.
Another plus is saving time. Monitoring the cooking in the air grill is much simpler, as it cooks on its own. In addition, if you have a small kitchen, then the air grill will be a real salvation, since it takes up little space.
Now the flaws. Of course, an air grill cannot replace absolutely all equipment. Many manufacturers claim that the air grill can steam, but this function is far from being performed on all models. It is more advisable to heat the dishes in the microwave, as it is faster and more convenient. Another drawback is the strong heating of the case during cooking, it can be dangerous if there are children in the house. According to manufacturers, the air grill works stably under any stresses, especially for those people who live in rural areas. But if the voltage drops in the outlet, the performance of the unit also decreases. It is also worth understanding that the air grill is powered by electricity and consumes a lot of it. Therefore, such a device is not suitable for those who are used to save energy.
