An air fryer is actually a small countertop convection oven designed to simulate deep frying without submerging the food in oil. A fan circulates hot air at high speed, producing a crisp layer via browning reactions such as the Maillard reaction. Some product reviewers claim that regular convection ovens or convection toaster ovens produce better results or that air frying is essentially convection baking under a trendy new name. It is indeed an easy way to cook.
For some people, this type of modern technology that was created to ease so many burdens that people have to go through when cooking might be confusing to use. Because of that, they might have been using it in the wrong way and the action might cause it to not function properly. Worry not because these are 5 mistakes that you should avoid.

5 simple mistakes done when using an air fryer:
- Cook using an air fryer over the maximum capacity. You should put food in it until half basket only.
- You do not clean it right after using it. In fact, it should be cleaned right after use to avoid the stain from sticking onto it permanently.
- Pull out the basket before the air fryer stops completely.
- Locate the air fryer really close to the wall when using it. You should have at least located it a 5-inch distance from the wall.
- Put food in the air fryer using a container that is not heat resistant. You could cover it using aluminum foil.
