The Innoteck 4 Litre Air Fryer, model DS-5015, is a kitchen appliance designed for healthier cooking. It utilizes hot air in combination with high-speed air circulation (rapid hot air) and a top grill to prepare a variety of dishes quickly and easily, often without the need for added oil. This method allows for cooking up to 90% faster than traditional cookware, saving energy and time.
Function Description:
The air fryer operates by circulating hot air around the ingredients, heating them from all sides simultaneously. This process results in crispy textures similar to deep-frying but with significantly less oil. It is suitable for preparing a wide range of ingredients and snacks, including fries, meat, poultry, and baked goods. The appliance features a timer (0-60 minutes) and a temperature control knob (80-200°C) to allow for precise cooking settings. The power-on light and heating-on light provide visual indicators of the appliance's status.
