Steam early in baking preserves crust elasticity so bread can rise fully before the surface sets, then moisture burns off to create a hard, crackly crust while the inside remains soft. Xiaomi applies the same principle to an air fryer with a steam-and-bake approach. The Mijia Smart Air Fryer Pro Steam and Bake Edition uses a 1.5-liter water tank feeding a 900W steam generator that reaches 130°C, supporting multiple continuous dishes before refilling. A 1,850W heating element and 360-degree hot air circulation allow switching between dry heat and humid heat within the same cooking cycle. A 304 stainless steel interior resists corrosion from moisture, and a fluorine-free non-stick basket simplifies cleanup. Steam-fry layers humid and dry heat to slow surface dehydration while driving heat inward, improving results like crackly wings.
"Steam-fry layers humid and dry heat in sequence, holding just enough moisture in the chamber to slow surface dehydration while the heat pushes deeper into the food, which is exactly how you get chicken wings that crack rather than just brown."
