Airfryers revolutionize the way we fry by using hot air instead of oil. This technology makes it possible to prepare crispy snacks and fries with up to 90% less oil than traditional frying methods.
Why airfrying is healthier than frying
An airfryer uses circulating hot air to cook food evenly. This process reduces calorie intake by up to 200 calories per serving compared to traditionally fried food. The drastic reduction in oil use results in a lower fat intake, which positively contributes to your heart health and cholesterol levels.
Impressive fat reduction in numbers
The differences are striking when you compare the numbers. Airfryer fries contain only 5 grams of fat per 100 grams, while deep-fryer fries contain 11 grams of fat. The saturated fat content drops from 1 gram to 0.5 grams per 100 grams.
This halving of saturated fatty acids significantly contributes to:
- Better heart health through reduced cholesterol buildup
- Weight management through lower calorie intake
- Reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases
Our Nedis airfryers feature preset programs that automatically set the ideal temperature and time for minimal fat absorption.
Reduced formation of harmful substances
Traditional frying at high temperatures produces acrylamide, a potentially harmful substance linked to increased cancer risk. Airfryers produce lower levels of acrylamide because they operate with circulating air at lower temperatures. This makes airfrying a safer choice for daily use. Nedis airfryers operate with precise temperature control between 80-200°C, which helps minimize these harmful substances.
Preservation of nutritional value
The faster cooking process and lower temperatures ensure that vitamins and nutrients are better preserved. Vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, and bell peppers retain their vitamin C content much better than with traditional cooking or prolonged baking. Airfryers with multiple cooking levels make it possible to prepare different vegetables simultaneously at optimal temperatures.
Practical advantages in the kitchen
Besides health benefits, an airfryer also offers practical advantages:
- No oil splatters on your stove or countertop
- Elimination of frying odors in the house
- Easy maintenance thanks to dishwasher-safe parts
- No need to change or dispose of oil
Our Nedis airfryers have removable parts with non-stick coating for extra easy cleaning.
Beware of pre-processed products
Not all airfryer products are automatically healthier. Specific airfryer fries often contain more calories and sugars than regular fries. Airfryer fries contain 155 kcal, 26.5 grams of carbohydrates, and 1 gram of sugars per 100 grams, compared to 126 kcal, 21 grams of carbohydrates, and 0.4 grams of sugars for deep-fryer fries. This is due to extra processing and a sugar coating for crispiness. Therefore, always check the packaging of pre-processed products.
Homemade is healthiest
The healthiest option remains making fries yourself from fresh potatoes. With only one tablespoon of oil on 500 grams of potatoes, you get per 100 grams:
- 106 calories (much lower than ready-made variants)
- 2 grams of fat (minimal fat content)
- 0 grams of salt (you control the amount)
Use herbs instead of salt for extra flavor without health risks. This kitchen equipment with large capacity such as that from Nedis makes it possible to prepare complete meals with fresh ingredients like vegetables, fish, and chicken.
