Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchenware technology, specifically to an air fryer that is easy to control and adjust. Background Technology

[0002] An air fryer is a cooking appliance that heats and bakes food using rapidly circulating hot air. It replaces the hot oil in a frying pan with hot air, cooking the food while removing surface moisture, achieving a similar effect to deep-frying. By using air as a heat transfer medium, air fryers effectively reduce the oil content of food, providing healthier options and thus gaining popularity among consumers.

[0003] Existing air fryers typically include a shell and a pot body inside the shell, a heating element, and control buttons located on the front side of the shell. The front side of the shell has an opening for the pot body to be inserted, and the control buttons are generally located above the opening. Due to the size of the shell, the number of control buttons is limited, so function / menu buttons are often set on the air fryer. When selecting a suitable cooking mode, users need to press the function button multiple times until the desired cooking mode appears, and then press the confirmation button. Secondly, when adjusting the air fryer's cooking program later, it is necessary to return to the air fryer, which is not very convenient. Utility Model Content
