Things to note when buying a steam fryer

Suitable pot capacity

This is the first thing you need to know before deciding to buy a steam fryer. On the market today, steam fryers have many capacities, of which the small type will be 7L, and the most popular are 15L, 16L.

From experience, you should consider choosing a large capacity. Because the more airy the steam fryer is, the higher the cooking efficiency will be (due to better air and heat convection). 

Large capacity will also be suitable for large families (4-5 people or more) who often organize meals. In the long run, a large pot will be more convenient and can be used more flexibly, although the initial cost will be higher.

Consider the features and functions

Oil-free fryers already have many functions, but with steam fryers, you will be surprised by the number of features and utilities equipped for the product. Because in addition to the frying function (using heat), the pot has an additional function of heating with steam. Therefore, manufacturers are free to program additional cooking functions. 

>>> Note: Don't focus too much on having a lot of features (e.g. many preset cooking menus). In fact, the presets are just for reference. Most users will set the temperature and time manually.

Wide temperature range helps to cook a variety of dishes

• Smart steam frying: This feature works in the following way: during the frying process, it will combine with hot steam. Thanks to that, the dish will not turn yellow too quickly while keeping the dish moist (crispy on the outside, moist on the inside). 
• Top and bottom heat: most steam fryer models only have top heat, so you will often need to flip the food. However, this feature is not too important, in fact it is only suitable for those who like to bake.
• Auto clean.

Other factors

Besides the two important notes above, when deciding to buy a steam fryer, you also need to pay attention to the following factors:

• Flexible, easy to use: Are the functions displayed in Vietnamese? Are the buttons easy to see and sensitive? Is the design easy to operate?
• Brand, design: prioritize choosing famous brands with high reputation, the product quality will also be more guaranteed. The color and design will depend on your preferences.
• Where to buy: Buy steam fryers at reputable stores to ensure you buy genuine products and receive full warranty.
