"When temperatures are scorching outside, the last thing you want to be doing is firing up your standard oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit or standing over a hot stovetop for a prolonged period of time. While ordering delivery might sound optimal, those prices can add up quickly, not to mention having to give up control of what exactly goes into your food. The easiest pivot for summer cooking that won't heat up your kitchen too much is to lean on your air fryer."
"Due to the compact size of the air fryer, it needs far less time to preheat and cook, meaning that the appliance is producing heat for a shorter amount of time overall. The result is that it gives off a lot less heat, and your kitchen stays cooler. Additionally, the energy required to use an air fryer is less than that of powering a full-sized oven, saving money on your energy bill, which is very welcome if you're powering an air conditioner, too."
Air fryers are compact convection ovens that circulate hot air to cook food, producing less ambient heat and using less energy than standard ovens. Standard ovens can raise a small kitchen's temperature by 10 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit, while air fryers require much less preheat and cook time, emitting heat for a shorter duration. Air fryers can prepare most foods that fit their capacity, offering a versatile alternative to traditional baking and frying. To adapt oven recipes, reduce the temperature by about 25 degrees Fahrenheit and shorten cooking time by roughly 20% to achieve comparable results.
