Air Fryer, OTG or Microwave: Choosing the Right Appliance

An air fryer, an OTG and a microwave oven are different kitchen tools.

An air fryer blows hot air around food to make it crisp with little oil.

It is useful for fries, wings, vegetables and small portions.

An OTG uses heating elements and is good for cakes, bread, pizza, grilling and roasting.

It usually takes longer to heat and gives more manual control.

A microwave uses electromagnetic waves to heat food very quickly.

It is especially useful for warming rice, dal, curry, drinks and leftovers.

Some convection microwaves can also bake, roast and grill.

The right choice depends on what you cook most often and how much space you have.
