The invention relates to an air fryer stable in control. The air fryer comprises a base and a cover body hinged to the base. A fyer assembly is arranged in the machine base. The fryer assembly comprises an inner pot. A hot air assembly is arranged in the cover body, the hot air assembly comprises an air guide plate, a fan and a heating piece. The fan and the heating piece are positioned below theair guide plate; a transparent visual window is arranged on the cover body, the center of the hot air assembly deviates from the center of the fryer assembly, the distance between the center of the hot air assembly and the hinge center is smaller than the distance between the center of the fryer assembly and the hinge center, and the visual window surrounds the hot air assembly and is located above the inner pot. The hot air assembly is far away from a user relative to the fryer assembly, the area of the visual window located on one side of the user is enlarged, and therefore the user can visually observe the interior of the fryer assembly through the visual window. Meanwhile, the heights of the cover body and the whole air fryer can be effectively reduced, the gravity centers of the coverbody and the whole air fryer are reduced, and when the cover body is opened or closed, the whole air fryer is stably operated.
