The air fryer is a countertop convection oven that uses hot air and little oil to cook food quickly. It was introduced in Europe in 2010 and has grown rapidly in popularity in the United States, with almost 10 million being purchased between 2017-2019. Air fryers work by circulating hot air to cook food with only teaspoons of oil, making foods less greasy and calorie-dense than deep frying. While proponents claim air fryers can replace deep frying, critics argue some foods don't taste as good and reheating oily frozen foods defeats the purpose. Future models may combine microwave, toaster, and oven functions to save space.
