5. The air-based fryer according to claim 1 , wherein the air moving device is adapted to create an air circulation path in the food preparation chamber, and the heating device is located in the air circulation path so as to heat the air moving in the air circulation path.
6. The air-based fryer according to claim 1 , wherein in the food preparation chamber is provided a food receiving structure having an air permeable bottom, a top opening and sidewalls, the air moving device and the heating device are located in a vicinity of the top opening of the food receiving structure such that a circulation path is created by the air moving device in such a way that air comes into the food receiving structure from the air permeable bottom of the food receiving structure, and exits the food receiving structure from the top opening of the food receiving structure, and then moves along the sidewalls of the food receiving structure to the air permeable bottom of the food receiving structure.
7. The air-based fryer according to claim 1 , wherein the air filter comprises a porous section located below the liquid level in the liquid tank.
8. The air-based fryer according to claim 7 , wherein the air outlet is in fluid communication with a space of the liquid tank upstream of the porous section so that air from the food preparation chamber flows through the porous section.
9. The air-based fryer according to claim 7 , wherein the porous section comprises an element having a plurality of holes to allow air flow only through the holes.
10. An air-based fryer, comprising
a food preparation chamber;
an air moving device for moving air in the food preparation chamber to generate air flow;
a heating device for heating the air flow generated by the air moving device so that the heated air flow can heat food that in use may be received in the food preparation chamber;
a liquid based air filter comprising a liquid tank detachably connected to the food preparation chamber, the liquid based air filter being adapted to filter air from the food preparation chamber, wherein the food preparation chamber has an air outlet which is in fluid communication with the liquid tank so that air from the food preparation chamber entering the liquid tank rises above a liquid level in the liquid tank; and
an air pumping device, wherein the air pumping device and the air moving device are driven by a same actuator, and the liquid tank further comprises has an air outlet above the liquid level, which is in fluid communication with the air pumping device to build negative pressure in a space above the liquid level in the liquid tank through the air pumping device.
