Airpan

Airpan is a company that produces cookware, most notably its line of air fryer pans. These pans are designed to mimic the function of an air fryer by circulating hot air around food placed within a perforated basket or tray. The goal is to achieve a crispy, fried texture using significantly less oil than traditional frying methods.

The typical air fryer pan consists of a cooking basket that fits inside a pan or tray. Food is placed in the basket, and the assembly is then inserted into a conventional oven. The oven's heat, combined with the perforated design of the basket, allows for hot air to flow freely around the food, promoting even cooking and crisping. Some models may also include a raised rack within the basket to further enhance air circulation and prevent food from sitting in any rendered fat.

Airpan products are marketed as a convenient and healthier alternative for achieving fried-like results without the need for a dedicated air fryer appliance. They are typically made from materials like stainless steel or non-stick coated metals. Users often report success in preparing items such as french fries, chicken wings, and vegetables, achieving a degree of crispness comparable to that of an air fryer or deep fryer. The ease of cleaning and storage are also frequently cited as advantages.
