>air fryerWhy do normies love this so much?Literally just a convection oven with a basket
It's more convenient as it pre-heats comparatively instantly, cooks quicker, and wastes far less energy
>>103154500Turns out a tiny convection oven is really useful.
>>103154500It's low effort for retards like me who can't cook.
>>103154500>normiesOkay, you clearly already made up your mind on hating them so why even ask.To answer your question. It's small, uses way less energy, heats up instantly and can basicly cook everything perfectly.Every kind of meat will be perfectly tender on the inside, any kind of bread or dough will be baked way faster, anything crisp on the outside tender on the inside works perfectly etc.And you can just out the basket in the dishwasher.It Just Works
>>103154537Nothing difficult about filling a pot with beef tallow and properly frying some shit
>>103154561Also i forgot it uses way less fat, not like you would care about that.
>>103154500Perfect size for the life in a pod.
>>103154565It's still easier to just slam a tray in and forget
>>103154500They can pretty much do everything that requires heating up.And they produce basicly the best fries and in general everything usually turns out exactly how you would want it. I recently tried making donuts in mine and even those tasted as good as the usual deep fried ones.
thats the whole point. its a convection oven that fits on your counter top. dont be that retard that cooks steak in air fryer. use a pan like a normal person.
>>103154500I don't have a microwave so I bought an airfryer mostly to re-heat food and the occasional french fries etc.It's faster and saves energy.
>>103154500Every device called an "oven" that I had took a while to heat up and cook things. Every device called "air fryer" that I had blasts very hot air pretty much immediately and gets the job done much quicker, plus the food doesn't really come out quite the same in one and the other since the cooking methods aren't actually identical.
>>103154626There's nothing new about countertop convection ovens.
>>103154659the concept is not new, but the tech has evolved.
>>103154500The name is a gimmick.Ergonomics and efficiency is great.It's cheap or at least should be.Size is an obvious drawback.
>>103154692It hasn't. It's the same tech. They use straight-up toaster oven parts.
>>103154716the toaster ovens in the 90s are way less efficient than the air fryers of today.
>>103154565>the smell>cleaning up afterward>discarding old oil/fat>filtering oil/fat after use>storing all that shit>nothing difficultDo you even deep fry? You have to fry shits on a weekly basis to make it worth the hassle.
>>103154726lol noThey all use dead simple resistive heating elements, all technically 100% efficient
>>103154500I assume this is for poorfag college kids in dorms without kitchens
>>103154739>cleaning upThat's what God invented wives for.
>>103154764and why did god give me a lazy wife?
>>103154716The modern fans are better designed.I adore my air fryer. Before I got it I thought it was a total gimmick waste of time, after buying it I don't cook food in the oven anymore. It's easier to cook shit, easier to clean, faster, does a better job thanks to improved airflow vs my oven, and is cheaper to run. I had a little countertop convection oven in university, but it was still a large space that took a few minutes to pre-heat. Air fryer doesn't need the preheat, because the compartments are so small that it's just food and a small air buffer.
>>103154747Something something airflow something something does the toaster oven have a basket available
>>103154781>Before I got it I thought it was a total gimmick waste of time, after buying it IWhy did you buy something that you thought was a "total gimmick waste of time"?
>>103154739nta but I use less than a spoonful of pig fat to fry half a kilo of diced chicken breast. Cleaning the pan takes seconds
>>103154626im using an optigrill for steak (very well done)airfryer for friesfridge for ketchup
Wonder what inspired OP to make his post.
>>103154796I didn't. You know some people have families, right? My wife buys all kinds of useless kitchen junk, it all ends up in a cupboard eventually, except for the air fryer. I've got a stand mixer she never used (I made pizza dough for a while until I got bored of it), a bread maker, and most recently, a soup maker. None of them last more than a week.
>>103154823Does your wife's son love the air fryer?
>>103154798Yeah shallow frying isn't the problem here I've got a cast iron skillet for that stuff and it's great. Was talking about deep frying where you need a pot or a deep fryer, it's always a mess to deal with but the love for onion rings and accras is too strong.
Which model do you recommend bros?
>>103154500It gives us yet another reason to feel superior to you.
>>103154854The Cuisinart 8 in 1. Does everything well and has just the right size.
>>103154854not all airfryers let you set the temperature properly, so look for that.
>>103154626my air fryer steaks are great anon
>>103154854I've got a 2 basket Ninja foodi. Get a silicone liner for easy cleanup, and a wire rack for better airflow.
Waste of space, it can't do anything more complex than a plain chicken breast.
>>103154500Okay retard call them convection baskets or whatever, they're still nice
Air fryers have a fanToaster ovens don’tRetards
>>103154500>air fryerJesus h christ, Americans will try to fry anything, even air.
>>103154798Please don't tell me you're one of those "seed oils give you Ebola" faggots. Even back when I used to eat meat, pig fat was the most disgusting way to fry shit.
>>103154809wew I saw him lose his shit about the election on bluesky last week
>>103154500>Literally just a convection oven with a basketOK AND WHY IS THAT AN ISSUE?
>>103154500How much energy do this things use compared to, for example, a toaster oven? Let's say you're just heating some nuggies in each, which one would use more energy?
>>103154500>Technology Connections uploads a video about X>immediately make a thread about X on /g/of all times you could have posted this, you did it now
>>103155011It's a common thing in Germany.Also makes a delicious spread.
>>103155062The same 6 webms being posted every time Ape Shit Goy uploads is still my favourite /g/ Pavlovian response.
>>103155011>Le contrarian trust the science soi boy
>>103154500As a comment on TC's video said: "and a shovel is just a wider pickaxe." Even if they're made of basically the same parts, the different form factor changes the functionality.
>>103154500I have both. The air fryer works much better as a convection oven; it heats faster and cooks faster. The oven works, eventually, but takes longer and the results aren't as good. Oven just doesn't seem to get as hot. >>103154526>>103154529These. Also note: George Foreman grills were super popular in the USA ~20 years ago. One of the driving reason was b/c a lot of people (in the USA, in the lmao late 90's) didn't have stoves. Let that sink in for a minute.
>>103155059They're pretty comparable. Air fryers have better heat transfer efficiency due to convection though, which tends to result in shorter cooking times.It depends on what you want to cook. Making cakes? Get a toaster oven, because you can fit a fucking cake in it. Frozen tendies? The air fryer is just going to do a far better job at getting them crispy.
>>103155187Many toaster ovens have convection too.
>>103154823>soup maker.You mean a pot?
>>103155174I think the main reasons were, 1- being heavily marketed on TV, and 2- promising healthier food as it was designed to get the grease out.
>>103155210Sure, but the fan isn't positioned as well, and the higher volume of air required to be heated slows cooking. The fan in an air fryer runs a lot faster, things that are light actually blow around and shit. Not good for grated cheese.>>103155223It's a blender with a shitty little heating element built into it. Yeah, it's beyond retarded.
>>103154612>the best friesthe best fries are still the ones fried in oil

No clue. My Siemens oven heats up in five minutes, hence not the need for an air fryer

>>103155437
>cant use parchment paper or aluminum foil because it blocks air flow>aka you have to clean the air fryerYep I'm sticking with toaster oven
can't even fit a frozen pizza
>>103155596I use a wire rack and a silicone liner, that essentially works as reusable parchment paper. You could just fold paper every time if you're lazy, cleaning the wire rack takes about 5 seconds with a scourer then I put it back in the basket where it dries off from residual heat.>>103155647It does a great job reheating leftover pizza, though. I cook 1 slice at a time and the next one is done right when I'm finished eating the current one.
>>103155669>I cook 1 slice at a time and the next oneIf you bought six air fryers you could make a whole pizza at the same time!
>>103154500Looks like someone just watched the Tech Connections video and decided to make a smug /g/ thread about it lmfao
>>103154764You will never be a real man.
>>103155697I can't eat 6 slices at once, and pizza comes out way better on a wire rack than it does flat on a baking tray in the oven.
>>103154500>want to buy one>found out a lot of them have a fire retardant coating that is quite toxic, specially for kidswell shit>>103155596nakayoshi
can you fry air?
>>103155174>>103155240For me I like it because it keeps all the grease self contained. When I would cook hamburgers in the frying pan grease would get everywhere and it was a pita to clean
>>103154500Aren't these things made out of plastic? Enjoy your cancer I guess.
TLDR to making a medium steak in an air-fryer?I use a regular pan for it rn but the fucking grease splashes everywhere when I sear it and it's a bitch to clean
>mogs ur space heater
>>103154584
>>103154500>Literally just a convection oven with a basketMost American ovens don't have a proper convection mode. To the point Americans call a real convection oven European style (with a heating coil on the fan).Of course Europeans also like air-fryers. I'm going to guess because it's easier to clean it with the dishwasher.
>>103155974It's just easier than a regular oven. Back when people lived in big families, the oven made sense, you cooked a meal for the family. Now it's all TV dinner frozen shit you can cook per person, and everyone is alone. The air fryer is the perfect gadget for the modern NPC.
>>103154500It's more like a big hair dryer.
>>103155875Holy fucking shit, this, why does nobody mention this? I got one because of the memes and it stunk of plastic. I made french fries but after cleaning it multiple times and I could still taste the burnt plastic smell. It was also a midrange 100 dollar one, not the cheapest chinese knockoff, but the expensive ones seem to use the exact same teflon looking garbage

>>103155905I made one the other day and it ended up being terrible and hard as fuck, though maybe I nuked it too much. I'm pretty sure you need marinade to pull it off in an air fryer. One of these days I'll try again
>>103156055I noticed the burnt plastic smell too at a friend's house. People have been desensitized to cancer-causing chemicals. These same retards probably actually microwave the plastic trays that come with frozen dinners, and styrofoam noodle cups.captcha: 2GAYYR

>>103154500It's a microwave except it doesn't make food taste bad and it can cook food too. Not so great for liquids though.
>>103155875Mine's made out of metal, but it also is designed more as a traditional oven-shape rather than a basket frier.
>>103156055Buy one with glass bowl
>>103154500You’re not eating engine oil. But still get that taste especially fired chicken.

>>103157066Stick to reviewing front-loading washing machine motors and fantasizing about Trump putting you in a concentration camp, Alex.
>>103154500Yes but it has around x5 stronger fan when you consider the displacement and the fan size. I got a new oven 7 months ago and it got air fry function, first the fan is super loud in this mode but because the oven is 73 liters it need 20 minutes to make what my cheapo air fryer does in 12.
>>103157091yes? plastic is based
>>103154716The main advantages are >lifted basket to ensure even heating better than a convection oven is designed for >fan is running constantly to ensure better and even heating vs intermittently like a traditonal one>design is better for retaining heat and is dishwasher safe

>>103154500> the process of air frying does result in the formation of certain compounds, like acrylamide, that are linked to cancer development. Acrylamide is classified as a probable human carcinogen. Acrylamide is formed when foods are heated to temperatures above 120 degrees Celsius (120°C) or 250 degrees Fahrenheit (250°F). During the heating process, a series of chemical reactions (called the “Maillard reaction”) involving sugars and amino acids contained in food results in the formation of acrylamide. Foods that are high in carbohydrates, such as potato chips, French fries, and baked goods contain the highest levels of acrylamide, but fish, meat, and vegetables produce smaller amounts of acrylamide when cooked.Good night sweet prince
>>103159024>Acrylamide is formed when foods are heated to temperatures above 120 degrees Celsius (120°C) or 250 degrees Fahrenheit (250°F).Okay so literally every form of cooking then? Gonna tell us to go primal?
>>103159024>all people who consume dihydrate monoxide die
>>103154500It fucking sucks, an oil fryer is way better. Cooks much faster and properly on all sides.
>>103159047Probably would be better to learn how to cook and eat whole foods and not processed garbage.
>>103154500>Literally just a convection oven with a basketAnd a vent IF properly made
>>103158882I do believe he is referring to rentcucks? Which are an infinitely more common thing in the Jewnited States of Weimerica.
>>103154500I have both, and they just serve different usecases. Cooking frozen slop from the supermarket (like fries, chicken nuggets, mozarella sticks) is super convenient with a air fryer. Heats up in like a minute, shaking your goods halfway through is easy. Also they cook really evenly and even provide good airflow from the bottom, depending on the model.
>>103159066>Cooks much faster and properly on all sides.And then you have a heart attack by 40.
>>103155174maybe your convection oven is shitor maybe your air fryer is really goodor maybe you're right hell I don't fucking know
>>103154500love my air fryeri have a gas stovetop/oven but its way slower to heat and uses a lot more energy to do soif I need higher than 400F or am cooking a larger item I have to use it though
>>103154500>normiesMore like "nummies".
The cancer alarmism around food is such horseshit. My parents fed me healthy stuff my entire childhood and I still ended up with Leukemia. It's like the fucking lottery. Eat whatever you like.
>>103154626I will use the broil function on my air fryer and you can't stop me.
>>103159829This. I come from the other direction: I've been eating the most toxic shit known to the human race for damn near 50 years (mother was the first gen of feminist "boss bitches" who neglected her kids), and apart from being 30lb overweight, there's not a thing wrong with me. I eat entire sugarcane fields at a sitting, and I've never got a blood glucose reading over 70 (one of my close friends is diabetic, and she's let me play with her little finger-pricking machines for the last 20 years).
>>103154500Its compact and replaces the need to use the old giant 100-200lb stove top oven for 99% of the use case. Its a companion to microwave, electric rice cooker, electric steamer, etc
