Advantages of frying in an air fryer:
The main advantage of cooking in an air fryer is obviously the less usage of oil. Here hot air is circulated to cook and make the food crispy. The second advantage I feel is, we need not babysit the food while it is frying. Unlike the regular frying where we need to keep an eye on the food.
