People are only just discovering what happens to food when you cook it in an air fryer

Consumers are only recently discovering the internal processes that occur within their air fryers while cooking, and the findings have left them surprised.

Air fryers serve as multifaceted kitchen appliances, ideal for warming up leftovers, crisping frozen meals, baking desserts, and even preparing complete roast dinners.

These appliances, which come in diverse forms and sizes, are frequently marketed as more energy-efficient options compared to conventional ovens.

They not only accelerate the cooking process but also provide a healthier way to prepare a variety of popular dishes.

However, users who merely place their food in the air fryer and step away may be unaware of the workings of the air fryer basket.

In general, air fryers are equipped with an automatic pause feature that briefly stops cooking when the appliance is opened to monitor the food’s progress.

Nonetheless, the Crispi model from Ninja stands out with a glass window, enabling users to watch their meals as they cook.

A social media user, @aligroholski, posted a video showcasing the air fryer in action, commenting: “That was super invasive.”

The video, which has amassed over 9.3 million views, depicts a spring roll floating and spinning as it cooks.

The user continued: “Watching the inside of an air fryer feels illegal.”

As indicated by their name, air fryers use hot air for cooking. A heating element at the top emits heat into the cooking chamber’s air, while a fan swiftly circulates the heated air around the food.

Ali’s video has sparked wonder in the comment section. One viewer wrote: “No way my food is just in there breakdancing.”

Another commented: “THEY SPIN?” and a third remarked: “That’s why my cheese never stays on.”

Conversely, one viewer stated: “That doesn’t happen in mine, because when I open it, the food is in the exact same position no matter how small the food is.”
