The air fryer has been introduced and has been touted by everyone. Easy to use and fuel efficient, it is a healthy cooking tool for people. However, some experts say that the food made by the air fryer contains cancer-causing ingredients, is it true?
Why do some people think that air fryers can cause cancer?
The air fryer can cause cancer is roughly divided into two factions, one believes that the air fryer radiation exceeds 112 times the limit, will cause cancer. Another faction believes that above 120 degrees will produce carcinogenic substances, air fryer cooking temperature up to 180 degrees, will certainly produce carcinogenic substances.
But if you think about it, you will know that nowadays, as long as you add oil to the cooking, the temperature can be lower than 120. do we only deserve to eat raw food?
Air fryer output acrylamide?
Originally, it was a "healthy stove" that preached less oil, but because it was detected to exceed the carcinogenic limit of "acrylamide" in the food it cooked, people think it has the risk of causing cancer. Acrylamide has nothing to do with pots and pans as it does not ask where it comes from.
"Acrylamide is indeed a Class 2A carcinogen recognized by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, but international medicine considers it to have limited experimental evidence of carcinogenicity. And as long as there are carbohydrates (sugar) and proteins in food, acrylamide is inevitable in the process of heating at high temperatures, as is the case with any cooking utensil.
How does an air fryer work?
An air fryer is like an oven with a fan. It works by turning the air in the pan into a rapidly circulating stream of heat, which dehydrates the food and makes the surface golden and crispy for a frying effect. This mode of operation is also called "high-speed air circulation technology.
As you can see, although the results of the air fryer evaluation are scientifically accurate, they should not be generalized. In fact, it is the wrong way of cooking oil control and the production of individual pots and pans that are the key to the risk of cancer.
