Avoid cooking at overly high temperatures for a long time.
According to the World Health Organization, processing food at high temperatures, especially starchy foods, can create acrylamide compounds - substances that are warned to be associated with the risk of cancer. Therefore, temperatures should be adjusted appropriately and food should not be burned.
Do not abuse processed foods
Experts warn that oil-free fryers are not a "shield" to help make every dish healthy. According to Marion Nestle, Professor of Nutrition at the University of New York, the abuse of processed foods such as frozen french fries, sausages or pre-marinated foods still poses many health risks. These products often contain high levels of salt, saturated fat and additives from the beginning.
Therefore, even if processed in an oil-free frying pot, the nutritional nature of food is almost unchanged. In other words, the device only helps reduce the amount of oil when cooking, but does not eliminate inherently unfavorable ingredients. Therefore, to ensure health, users should prioritize fresh ingredients, self-process and control spices instead of relying on processed foods.
Clean the pot regularly
It is an important factor but is often overlooked. Food and grease residue accumulated over time can produce harmful substances when further heated. According to the US Food and Drug Administration, periodic cleaning of cooking equipment helps limit the risk of bacterial contamination and unwanted chemical reactions.
Experts recommend that oil-free fryers are only really good when users understand how to use them. Choosing fresh ingredients, controlling temperature and maintaining equipment hygiene are basic principles to protect family health.
