[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, people use more and more cooking utensils in the kitchen, and the requirements for cooking utensils are getting higher and higher. Among various cooking utensils, various baking equipment used for baking meat products, bread and pastries, etc. are becoming more and more popular. For example, people like ovens with various functions, air fryers, etc.

[0003] Traditional air fryers use a heating component to release hot air into the cooking cavity for holding ingredients, and the hot air heats the ingredients by contacting them. However, as the baking process progresses, the moisture in the ingredients will evaporate to a certain extent, which can easily cause the ingredients to lose water, thereby affecting the taste of the ingredients after cooking. Patent CN202022778056.3 provides an air fryer, on which a water tank protruding outward toward the cooking cavity is provided on the pot body. During the baking process, the water tank can replenish water into the cooking cavity of the pot body to reduce the rate of moisture dissipation of the ingredients during the baking process and maintain the taste of the ingredients. However, this air fryer requires the pot body to be pulled out of the fryer before the water tank can be added. If the single cooking time is long and the water in the water tank is exhausted, the cooking work needs to be suspended, the pot body needs to be pulled out, and the water tank needs to be added with water before the cooking work can be continued. For some ingredients that require a long cooking time, water may need to be added multiple times during a single cooking process to meet cooking needs. This means that the user needs to pause cooking multiple times and pull out the pot to add water, which is inconvenient to operate and provides a low user experience. At the same time, due to the interruption of the cooking process, the continuity of cooking cannot be guaranteed, which has a great impact on the taste of the ingredients after cooking.
