Air fryers are confirmed to be the least polluting cooking method for your home, producing lower levels of indoor air pollution compared to pan-frying, stir-frying, and deep frying.
Indoor air pollution from cooking can lead to various health issues, including respiratory problems and heart disease.
A study tested five cooking methods and found that air frying and boiling produced significantly less pollution in terms of particulate matter and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Proper ventilation, such as opening windows or using extractor fans, is essential to reduce indoor pollution during and after cooking.
