[0025] Attached Figure 1 To Attachment Figure 3 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of a new outdoor air fryer provided by the present invention. The air fryer includes a shell 10 and a hot air circulation system 20 arranged in the shell 10. A cooking cavity 11 for holding food is provided in the shell 10, and the cooking cavity 11 is suitable for being connected to the hot air circulation system 20.

[0026] like Figure 3As shown, the cooking cavity 11 is provided with a heating cavity 12 outside, and a heat source 30 is provided inside the heating cavity 12. The heat source 30 is suitable for heat transfer with the outer wall of the cooking cavity 11.
