WWAW air fryers?

[quasi101]

The one I had worked pretty good, but it was kind of a bitch to clean.

They make silicon trays and liners. A good one has space for those. So you just take the liners out and clean those.

It depends on what you eat.
My friend has been trying to convince me to get one for the last 6 months, but the only thing I can think of that I would cook in it is some hash browns. I cook mostly everything from scratch but have streamlined most things so nothing should ever require much more than 15/20mins.

you can make them easier to clean by lining them with silicon pads. but its just as easy to clean a decent wok/pan
pretty restricted on space and you still have to fuck around with some items to get them to cook evenly/well (ie cant just leave it for 30mins)
just doesn't seem worth it for me.

Oh you said the same thing fuck me right!

Cornish hens in the air fryer rotisserie. They cook in like 12 mins. Air fryer is basically just convention with a smaller space and stronger fan. It's crisps things and bakes faster but becuase the time isn't as long it doesn't dry out.

If I'm being a faggot here sweet potato fries in the air fryer are healthy and wast to make as an example.

Salmon with a nice dry rub comes out really good in the air fryer. Only takes like 10 minutes too

Every boomer i know has one and none of them have ever plugged theirs in

My sister bought my dad one 3 years ago and he's literally never opened it. Born in the 1950s.

They’re a small shitty oven that heats up really fast. Great for reheating fried chicken.

Logistics-wise. They're basically a bachelor's best friend. Maybe even ok for a guy with a girlfriend or early doors wife. Impractical for a family man with more than one kid.

You’ve got to clean your oven stove normally though, so isn’t it actually easier to clean?

I rent so nah . . . the heat kills everything so it's just grease slick.

I use 4 things - Stainless Steel Pot for boiling water, cast iron for searing, dutch oven for stews, and stainless steel wide pan for the rest. Fuck gimmicks.

I bought one and tried it once to make fries for my kids. They came out limp and pale and I'm sure I followed the instructions to the letter. Put it back in the box and haven't used it since. I might just be a retard though

Our makes fries that are super crispy - what were the instructions?

It was a couple of years ago. I think it could be they were the wrong fries? They were the frozen oven ones

I got the ninja dt201. Food eats pretty good. Makes frozen foods crispy. Reheating pizza is closest thing to fresh. You can use it as an oven or a toaster too. It comes with a thermometer probe for meat.

this kind is useful, the all in ones. Pure air fryer with a basket sucks. Non stick/teflon is toxic.

get a deep fryer.

Cleaning it is the only reason I don’t use it more. My friend said lining it with foil sometimes helps but I don’t know how that affects heating certain foods

I used it to make chicken parm and fried shrimp and they came out pretty good without the mess of crackling oil

foil is also toxic.
