Is cooking with an airfryer healthier? Definitely and here’s why

Have you ever wondered if cooking with an airfryer is actually healthier? You’ve probably heard about it. But is it really better than a pan on the stove, the oven, or quickly microwaving something?

Tips & Tricks

1. Less oil, less hassle, more ease
The answer is yes. Cooking with an airfryer is healthier and often easier than you think.
In this blog post, we’ll show you why and how you can cook more healthily and efficiently with an airfryer.

  • Less deep frying means less fat
  • No greasy splashes
  • No burnt pans
  • Your food is evenly cooked
  • Thanks to circulating hot air
    Healthy cooking is... also just easier.

2. Better than the microwave: no drying out or loss of nutrients
The microwave often heats the inside too quickly, while the edges stay cold. Or worse: food gets dry, tasteless, or loses its nutrients.

The airfryer heats your food more evenly and gently. Thanks to the Reheat function, you can reheat meals quickly and evenly. And the Keep Warm function keeps dishes warm without drying them out.

  • No harmful radiation like with the microwave
  • Better texture and flavor
  • Ideal for meals, leftovers, and every moment

3. Faster and more efficient than a regular oven
The airfryer is actually a mini-oven — but faster and more energy-efficient. While a conventional oven takes 10 to 15 minutes to preheat, the airfryer is ready instantly.

  • Faster heating
  • Lower energy use
  • Perfect for 1 or 2 servings, no waste

You can start straight away with frozen snacks, fresh vegetables, or plant-based treats.

4. Healthier cooking with less effort
Because hot air circulates evenly and you don’t need much oil or high heat, an airfryer automatically helps you cook more healthily.

  • You use pure ingredients
  • You don't need extra fats
  • You keep more nutrients in your food
  • You avoid a greasy mess

One appliance that offers:

  • Energy savings and speed
  • Little to no fat
  • Even and crispy results
  • Less washing up
  • A perfect fit for a healthy lifestyle
  • No need for complicated appliances or difficult recipes

Conclusion: an airfryer is a smart choice
Is an airfryer always healthier? Absolutely. Not only do you use less oil, but you also gain more control over what and how you cook: faster, cleaner, smarter.
