I. Read the passage.

In modern kitchens, an air fryer has become a popular appliance that is used to cook meat, fish, and
vegetables such as potatoes. It works by circulating hot air around the food to make it crunchy outside and
soft inside.
To cook food in an air fryer, take the following steps. First, remove the pan with a basket from the
appliance by pulling the handle and put the ingredients in the basket. Then, put the pan with the basket back
into the air fryer; set the required temperature; set the timer to the required cooking time; and switch on the
appliance. After that, shake, turn or stir as needed during the cooking time. When you hear the timer bell, the
cooking time is over. When the food is ready, pull out the pan, lift the basket out of the pan by sliding the lid
first, and then by pressing the basket release button. Finally, empty the contents into a bowl or onto a plate.
According to a medical review, air-fried foods are better for health than deep-fried foods. The former
foods require less oil, and thus have a significantly lower fat content, which may help reduce calorie intake,
leading to weight loss. Compared to deep-frying, air-frying can reduce the formation of acrylamide.
Acrylamide is a chemical substance which is thought to cause cancer. So, air-fried foods are healthier than
deep-fried foods. Nevertheless, they are still fried foods and harmful chemicals are present at lower levels in
air-fried foods. Air fryers take more time to cook food and produce a slightly different taste and texture. In
addition, they can be expensive depending on their brands and models. Although using air fryers has some
disadvantages, they will be of great interest to many housewives
