Air fryer, infrared cooker or electric pot? Cooking appliances and stoves guide for Iraq
Short answer
For frying with little oil, take an air fryer. If gas runs out or you want clean electric cooking, an infrared cooker. For baking and grilling at home, an electric oven with hot plates. For simple cooking in a room or dorm, an electric pot. For kleicha and luqaimat, special makers save you time.
