Chapter 637, Air Fryer

Is it difficult to produce an air fryer?

In fact, this thing is not difficult for Jiang Yan, but it is not as smart as later generations. Jiang Yan only needs to fix a few temperatures and fried things. With this design, the current technology can completely make it.

But to be honest, this air fryer can "replace deep frying". In fact, although the air fryer can use high-temperature airflow instead of oil to force out the moisture in the ingredients to achieve a crispy effect, this effect is still different from real deep frying. There is a big gap.

On the surface, the cooking method of the air fryer is very similar to deep-frying, except that the medium is replaced by air. The high-temperature and rapid circulation of air can quickly take away the moisture on the surface of the ingredients to form a crispy shell, and at the same time produce the Maillard reaction and caramelization. After the reaction, the surface of the food has a golden crust and a crispy texture.

However, the entire process of air frying is much slower than frying. In addition, frying can wrap the ingredients 360° without any dead ends. When the surface of the ingredients becomes crispy and dehydrated, the oil plays a filling effect, giving it a crispy texture. At the same time, there is also the satisfaction brought by cooking oil.

When the air fryer is air-dried at high temperature for a long time, because there is no grease to fill it, it will easily taste dry, lack oily aroma and freshness, and even be a little burnt and bitter. Moreover, many air fryers have temperature controls. The heating uniformity is also not accurate enough, which can easily lead to the food being burnt on the outside or raw on the inside, or half cooked and half raw.

However, the flaws are not to be concealed. It is a good thing if it can produce oil. There is no need to consider the taste and the like. The oil is the important thing. Moreover, this artifact is also quite easy to export. Western food is either steamed or steamed. Baking, this thing is cheaper than an oven, and there is definitely a pretty good market.

So Jiang Yan decided to produce it.

Naturally, the drawings were readily available. The computer itself had the drawings of the air fryer. Jiang Yan just changed some things inside, so he completed all the production in less than an hour. Before he got off work, Jiang Yan Yan then returned to the research institute with his secretary and asked the second uncle Liu Haizhong to produce the air fryer parts.

Since the parts were relatively low, they were produced very quickly. Before leaving get off work, the parts were already in front of Jiang Yan. After checking that there were no problems, Jiang Yan started assembling them.

After a while, the two directors walked in together.

"Then, do you need some oil?" He Yuzhu asked next.

"This fried thing doesn't require oil. This sounds a bit fresh." He Yuzhu muttered and went to get potatoes for Jiang Yan without stopping.

"Xiao Jiang, why did you call us here, and what is this?" Wang Honghai, who had just entered the door, couldn't help but ask when he saw Jiang Yan playing with a strange machine that was half a meter high.

He Yuzhu, who was sitting on a chair instructing others in the canteen to clean up the kitchen, stood up immediately when he heard Jiang Yan's voice.

"Go, get some potatoes, wash them, peel them, cut them into the size of a child's finger, and get some more." Jiang Yan directed his secretary to put down the air fryer in his hand, and then said to He Yuzhu.

"What's wrong, boss? What's the matter?" He Yuzhu asked as he trotted up to the chef Jiang Yan.

"No need, just go and prepare the potatoes. By the way, get some more salt, cumin and chili powder." Jiang Yan urged He Yuzhu.

"Xiao Gong, go and call the director and deputy director Zhao over." After finishing the work, Jiang Yan said to the secretary.

Secretary Xiao Gong responded and went directly out of the kitchen.

"Zhuzhu, Zhuzhu." As soon as he entered the kitchen, Jiang Yan called He Yuzhu loudly.

"Boss, what is this? Is it a rice cooker again?" He Yuzhu asked Jiang Yan without leaving, looking at the air fryer he had just put down.

"No, there is another thing that can be used to make fried food." Jiang Yan spoke while instructing Xiao Gong to connect the power supply.

The assembled air fryer is much larger than the one after the funeral, and the volume is also much larger. But now Jiang Yan can't care about anything else and asks his secretary to pick up the newly made air fryer and the two of them work together. Went to the kitchen of the cafeteria.

"This is something just made from the air fryer." Jiang Yan introduced it.

"Can this cook the same thing as the rice cooker you made?" Wang Honghai asked curiously.

"Same, but different. Simply put, this air fryer can make fried things without oil." "You can make fried things without oil." Wang Honghai muttered quietly.

"This air fryer uses flowing hot air to cook the food while blowing away the moisture on the surface, so that the food can achieve the deep-frying effect. This effect does not require high pressure.

It is similar to an object being exposed to the sun and wind, and then becomes dry and cracked.

The air fryer works on this principle, but it speeds up the process countless times.

Its components include heating element, fan, control panel, food basket and filter…. "

Jiang Yan gave a brief introduction to this, but the rest of the air fryer is easy to talk about, but the control panel is a very troublesome place. After all, there were no chips in this era, so we just used a few specific temperatures.

I don’t know if I understood Jiang Yan, but when Jiang Yan said that he could achieve the deep-fried effect without oil, the two of them suddenly became a little excited.

If it really works, every household will save a lot of gas money. This is another great political achievement, so their family is also looking forward to this air fryer.

At this time, He Yuzhu walked in with a large plate of cut potato strips. He greeted the two directors and brought it to Jiang Yan.

After Jiang Yan took the potato strips, he first sprinkled the salt and potatoes together, and then put them into the super large air fryer. He put the cumin aside and planned to sprinkle it on when serving.

After closing the door and setting the stall and time, Jiang Yan looked at the others and said with a smile, "Everyone, please wait a moment. It will be ready in about five minutes."

At this time, everyone's eyes were looking at the air fryer.

After a while, a strong aroma wafted from the frying pan. Everyone's expressions changed, and they were surprised that it was really possible.

"This smells so good!" Zhao Zhanqiang couldn't help but sigh.

"It smells pretty good." Wang Honghai also nodded.

"Ding." Suddenly there was a crisp sound. The timer switch is completely reset.

Jiang Yan took one look, smiled slightly and said, "Okay, everyone, wait a moment."

Then, he opened the door of the air fryer.

Everyone was immediately shocked. The fragrance had already surprised them. They didn't expect it to be so fragrant after opening it!

As the heat slowly dissipated, the potatoes in the air fryer appeared in front of everyone.

You can see that the surface of the potatoes has been browned and is still slightly shiny, as if there is a layer of oil on it.

They had just seen it clearly.

When the potatoes are put in, they are completely freshly washed. Only salt was added throughout the process, not a drop of oil was added. But now it really looks like it's fried.

Everyone felt that their knowledge had been subverted.
