JAKARTA - The increasingly busy routine makes many people start considering kitchen equipment that can help save time.

One of the things that is increasingly in demand is an air fryer. However, choosing an air fryer is no longer just looking at the ability to fry without oil.

Many consumers are starting to look for devices that can cut the cooking stages, from preparation to food storage, so that activities in the kitchen become more practical.

This trend is in line with changes in people's lifestyles that prioritize efficiency. Based on a study by Euromonitor International, as many as 66.5% of global consumers are looking for ways to simplify daily life, while 42% are willing to spend more for solutions that can save time.

For urban Indonesians, efficiency in the kitchen also means reducing the time to prepare ingredients and cleaning many equipment after cooking.

Seeing this need, kitchen equipment manufacturers continue to present innovations that not only focus on the results of cooking, but also ease of use.

One of them is through a device that combines several functions in one tool so that the process of preparing, cooking, serving, and storing food can be done more concisely.

"We see a growing need in Indonesian society to continue to enjoy healthy home-cooked meals, but with increasingly limited cooking time. Many people still have to use several different equipment ranging from preparation, cooking, to storing food,"

"The air fryer that we present is to bridge this need through a container that can be used from the beginning to the end of the cooking process, so that activities in the kitchen become more practical without reducing the quality of the cooking results," said Frangky Purnomo Angelo, Head of Country Business, SharkNinja Indonesia (MAP Group) in a press release Ninja Crispi to VOI, Monday, July 13.

Unlike air fryers that are generally used to process frozen foods or snacks, this device is equipped with four cooking modes, namely Air Fry, Roast, ReCrisp, and Keep Warm. The combination allows users to process various types of dishes, ranging from side dishes, main menus, to desserts.

To support more consistent cooking results, this device is equipped with Precision Airflow Technology which helps the hot air circulation spread evenly.

In addition, there is also an innovation in the form of a 1,700 watt PowerPod which is claimed to be able to speed up the cooking process with a compact design so that it is easy to move according to needs. All accessories, except the PowerPod, can also be cleaned using a dishwasher, which also helps save time after cooking.

In its launch in Indonesia, the capabilities of this device were also demonstrated by MasterChef Indonesia alumni, Chef Gio and Chef Rommy, through various menus, ranging from main dishes to desserts inspired by the tastes of Nusantara.

"As a chef, I see this air fryer as having a very relevant ease for daily cooking needs. I can prepare a variety of dishes, from main menus to desserts, in one container without having to move equipment. The results are evenly cooked, while the cooking process becomes much more efficient," said Chef Gio.

When choosing an air fryer, the public should not only prioritize speed, but also consider ease of use, space efficiency, and the reduction of the number of equipment that must be cleaned after cooking.
