What’s Behind the Warning?
Air fryers are excellent for smaller portions, quick cooking, and achieving a crispy exterior without deep frying. But experts caution that:
1. Not All Foods Cook Well in Air Fryers
Foods that require even, low-temperature cooking over a long time — like large roasts, casseroles, baked goods, and some vegetables — often do better in a conventional oven. Air fryers circulate very hot air in a confined space, which can lead to uneven cooking for dense or thick foods.
2. Texture and Quality Can Be Compromised
