Will air frying caulifting carcinogenic?Expert: The key is to change the cooking method

"Everything can be fried", fried chicken wings, french fries, fried pork ribs ... Think of these, do you drool immediately? Today, the air fryer has become a "net red" electrical appliance. The air -free, low -fat, and not hot air frying pot makes friends who love fried foods get treasure. But there are also many people who are confused. Since it is "frying", is the food fried out of the air fryer? Will it cause cancer? If you have to use an air fryer, how to use it to be healthier? The reporter deliberately interviewed Wang Lin, deputy chief physician of the Guangzhou Cross Hospital, and Wang Lin, a post -doctorate of the oncology. He said that the air fryer uses high temperature to complete food heating. Therefore, in the process of cooking food, some chemical components that are harmful to the human body such as acrylamide, but its average exposure in our diet ( That is, the intake) is very low, and it is unscientific to put aside the toxicity of the dose. "Instead of worrying about the carcinogens of the air frying pot, it is better to change the cooking method.

The air fryer is equivalent to a powerful version of the hair dryer

Wang Lin introduced that we must first understand the working principle of the air frying pot. It makes the secret of crispy food, not through "frying", but "baking". The heating pipe and fan inside the air fried pot can allow the hot air in the pot to circulate a high -speed cycle. During the hot air blowing, the ingredients are dehydrated at high temperature, and the surface is crispy at the same time to achieve the effect of "fried", which is equivalent to a powerful version of a hair dryer or an oven with a fan.

Relying on its "high -speed circulating air" technology, using air fried pots to cook foods like meat, seafood, etc. itself contains oil, no need to over -oil; while cooking vegetables such as fat The previous layer of thin oil can also give vegetables with smooth and bright appearance. Compared with the real fried frying, the use of air fried pots can indeed reduce the intake of oil, which is indeed relatively healthy.

Putting aside from dosage and unscientific toxicity

Wang Lin introduced that he had specially consulted a lot of information on the question of "the fried things that would cause the air fryer". The earliest question comes from a test report released by the Korean Consumer Academy in December 2019. The report shows that if the frozen potato strip is placed at a high temperature above 200 degrees Celsius, and then cooked according to the product manual, the "acrylamide" content of 4 fried fried fries is exceeded. The potential harm of the carcinogenic carcinogenic carcinogenic pot is exposed.

Wang Lin introduced that acrylamide is indeed a carcinogen that has been listed by the World Health Organization International Cancer Research Agency (IARC) as 2A carcinogens, which means that it is the evidence that causes human cancer to be unclear and strict. Its carcinogenic effect is just a possibility.

Acrylamide generally exists in daily diet, but it is only the problem of how much content. As long as the temperature exceeds 120 ° C when heating food, there will be suspected carcinogenic matter of acrylamide. When the air fryer works, the internal temperature of the container is between 180 ° C and 200 ° C, and there is indeed the possibility of generating 2A carcinogens.

Some scholars in my country have conducted relevant studies on nearly 350 kinds of foods on the market, and found that acrylamide can be detected in most food samples, but its average exposure in our diet (that is, intake), but its intake) It is relatively low, and the standard of carcinogens cannot be met.

Moreover, the air fryer itself is just a heating tool. If you have to say carcinogenic, even if you do not use the air fryer, use ordinary pots to fry, fried, braised, etc. Amide.

Adjusting the cooking method is the key

Wang Lin said that instead of worrying about air -frying pots, foods will produce acrylamide. It is better to adjust the cooking method, control and eat less fried, roasted, and fried foods. Try to cook ingredients through steaming, cooking, etc. And nutrition, but also more natural and healthy. Pay special attention to the following points:

First, eat less high -temperature fried foods as possible. Fried foods are often too high in oil and are high -energy foods. Eating too much can cause excessive energy intake.

Secondly, do not set the temperature when using the air frying pot too high. Try to be within 120 ° C. Do not make too long. It is best to control it in about 10 minutes (pixels for one or two minutes. Differential, it is generally only needed to be frying to the surface slightly yellow and unimpeded). It can also avoid excessive potential harmful ingredients.

Finally, pay attention not to use too much seasoning, especially salt.
