In recent years, it has been popular with delicious and less oil-fried pork, which has attracted many consumers' favorites and has become a hot topic on the Internet. However, have you noticed whether the pill inner layer used is safe? Is your use the correct way?

Like a whirlwind oven, the air fryer is heated by the air circulation and cooked with the oil of the food itself, reducing the amount of oil used, and the heat of the food is greatly reduced. It can be made from crispy chickens, chicken pieces to steaks, and it has a crispy taste and does not produce a lot of oil. It is more in line with healthy cuisine and is loved by consumers.

Gao Caihua, a professor in the Department of Products Science, pointed out that the main internal layer material of the gas frying pot is iron fluoride or ceramic, among which iron fluoride layer is the most common, because it is not sticky, resistant to high temperature, and has a lower price, but the disadvantage is that it is not scratch-resistant. Therefore, it should be cleaned with sea cubes to avoid the deterioration of the layer affecting the non-stick function. When consumers buy gas frying pot, Gao Caihua recommends that they can choose products with smooth surfaces to touch, and clean and maintain according to the instructions to extend the service life.

Frying pots have various functions such as baking, frying, and steaming. They can also be divided into layers and placed in different ingredients through accessories. Gaocaihua reminds that it is best to put the vegetables on the upper layer when cooking, and then put the meat on the lower layer; because the heating time required for vegetables is short, when taking out the vegetables, the meat is often not cooked thoroughly. If the meat is placed on the upper layer, there is no cooked meat scraps or gravy falling into the vegetables below, which will cross contamination.

As for the meat skewers that fold vegetables, during the cooking process, you can check whether they are cooked before eating; in addition, during the use of gas frying, a small amount of oil smoke will still be produced. The oil smoker should be turned on to facilitate the ventilation, and the outlet of the skewers is easy to keep oil stains, and it must be washed after each use.

Because the gas frying pot uses high temperature flow, lighter food debris will fly and stick to the inside of the gas frying pot such as the heating tube. It is best not to put food too much, or use baking papers on the cooking pot to reduce stickiness. Because food contains ingredients such as powder, protein, oil, etc., when food debris stick to the inside of the gas frying pot, if it is not removed immediately and heated repeatedly, carcinogens may be generated.

Gaocaihua reminds that after using the utensils each time, use a damp cloth to wipe away debris and oil stains while using a damp cloth; you can also regularly spray the heater tube, inner wall and other places with more oil stains, then add water to heat to soften the oil stains, and finally wipe it with a cloth to clean it. Whenever you find that the gas frying pot has fallen and black crumbs appear, and white smoke and strange smells appear during the cooking process, you should immediately stop using it.
