airfrier
The appliance that mostly everybody already had under another name (at least in Europe). An then they renamed it as another thing and everyone bought one. The marketing worked.
Most countries have ovens
Umluftofen!
I think its the small volume that makes it worth it (faster to heat up, efficient) so I can see why people would buy one.
I personally don’t have one because I don’t exactly value my time. I throw my food in the cold oven and set it to whatever and check back later. I don’t have any motivation what so ever to care about pre heating or having my food ready 10 minutes earlier.
Same with the electric kettle. I remember being so surprised half the world had been using them for years.
What are you talking about? An oven? An oven cooks like shit compared to an air frier.
Not it’s not and I’m tired of the nerds screeching.
A Ferrari is very different from a Honda.
Air friers have a much lower total volume while moving a much higher volume of air. The effect is far more pronounced and cook times are halved.
Well, the only person who is screeching are you with your car manufacturer comparison, which does not make any sense in that context. As if airfrying is ferrari and ofen with a fan is honda?
Being smaller also means cleaning the is much easier, specially when you can put the basket and lid bits in the dishwasher.
And with the results of climate change going on, you don’t even need an airfryer anymore. Just a bucket of air will do the trick.
Just hold your chicken leg out the window for a few seconds.
We can fry shit with the air, so nice
Alps look ok!
20° where there used to be glaciers :|
Hannibal panting with excitement
The glass is half not boiled kinda guy
*air fried
I want to gather the boys with the Normandy and get hammered on Tuchanka. Did I ask for too much?
Take your hot air machine and shove it up your ass.

Wait until you find out about microwaves!
As I understand microwaves, they are essentially powered by magical runes we trap inside.

I think air frying technology isn’t so grand as a stable, functioning society.
Essentially we got fucked once Falwell figured out anti-abortion-access radicals will vote against their own interests. It didn’t hurt that white America really hates blacks.
Anyhow, that helped to get Reagan in to power and the economy turned K-shaped and never recovered, and at that point liberal democracy in the US was doomed.
Agree to disagree. A society would be fine, but I’ll take the air fryers.
I’ve never tried an air fryer. I don’t have the counter space for one and am concerned I’d eat more unhealthly more often if I owned one but it’s possible that’s not true.
It’s a little more complicated than this, but basically it’s just a smaller, faster convection oven. They’re cool but not lifechanging IMO
Nah we cook fish in ours.
Losing weight is easier (less oil) and cooking times are faster.
It’s just a more compressed oven. You can eat healthy or unhealthy with it
Breaded fish or grilled fish?
Can it toast bread?
If you can do it in an oven, chances are you can do it in an air fryer. Just be careful not to burn the outside.
I toss sweet potatoes in there for a good snack. Roast veggies. Mostly the air fryer cooks healthy foods fast which is nice.
We’re air frying the world too
I prefer to fry potatoes, but you can fry shit if you like. Just keep it in your air fryer.
You’ve heard of boiling shit in a kettle, now get ready for frying shit in an air fryer
Yes but can you afford anything to fry with this air?
The first night I owned an air fryer, I tossed in some shitty frozen tater tots that had been in my freezer for way too long, and they came out so delightfully crispy that I cooked two more servings.
I realized immediately that this would be a problem. It’s a bit too easy to make delicious stuff that’s pretty bad for me. I nearly made myself sick of wings within like 2 weeks. That was a close one. Fuckin love wings.
I got rid of my home deep fryer for health reasons. It is dangerously easy, cheap, and quick to make quality fries…
But it’s also quick and cheap to make absurdly-delicious roasted veg.
My favorite: take a bag of frozen broccoli florets, mist it with some oil (it’ll harden on them), sprinkle with some salt and pepper and toss in it at 400 degrees F for like, 15 minutes. Halfway through I pull the basket and drain the accumulated water in the bottom to increase browning.
Delicious, crispy, I can devour an entire pound of broccoli that way in like 5 minutes.
Didn’t not expect this post to turn into “how it’s made” about air fryers.
why do people like air fryers more than toaster ovens? i don’t get it
Removed by mod
I got a ninja air fryer for 50 bucks because the old Philips one needed internal cleaning to stop it smoking
I’m all for reducing waste, this was the first time I threw something out that technically was functional
I didn’t lose any sleep. And I fry free of smoke. Can recommend new stuff sometimes just because we don’t live that long anyway
I like it because it’s easier and quicker to put a few chicken legs in the basket than to put them on a tray in the toaster oven.
That and our toaster oven is too complex but our air fryer is two dials.
But cleaning the basket vs cleaning a baking tray?
Most toaster ovens, even ones with strong convection for “air frying”, are not quite consistent enough in their heating. You have to pay far more than you would for an air fryer to get even heat coil distribution and a good door seal for that. The specific kind of rapid cooking that dessicates and browns the surface you get out of air fryer devices is just kind of hard to replicate outside of them.
If you ever look inside an air fryer you can kind of immediately see why – the heater-to-volume ratio is absurdly close. You have the equivalent of the biggest coiltop stove burner directly above a few quarts of air volume with a fan forcing air from it to circulate. It’s just kind of unfair of a comparison for both toaster ovens and even full-size ones that advertise an “air fryer” mode by comparison for that reason.
