1️⃣ Why adopt the Air Fryer in 2025? 🔥

The Air Fryer propels a flow of air from 180 to 240°C around the food: golden and crispy surface comparable to frying, but with up to –75% fat . Another advantage: cooking is 30% faster than in the oven, which means almost €50 of electricity saved per year (based on €0.25/kWh).
