which brand of airfryer/toaster oven things arent a piece of shit? it seems like they all have their major flawsI just want to cook some chicken strips and maybe a pizza
>>106847092>airfryer/toaster ovenIncredibly snoy OP.It's by people who don't like oil.
>>106847113They are literally just countertop convection ovens.
They're all shit, just pick one on sale and be happy with it. Because while they all shit, they are still more portable and easier to wash convection oven. Place the chicken inside, get your finely fried chicken 20 minutes later.
>>106847113>just spend $15 on oil every time you get hungry bro
>>106847092toaster ovens are all the same and theres no reason nto to get one from a thrift shop other than having to do a first-time deep cleanair fryers in my experience aren't any better than a toaster oven because 99% of them are chinesium junk that aren't even a "countertop convection oven" and are just a a toaster oven with more foldy bits
>>106847171>>...every time you get hungry broThat's what oil is supposed to lower hunger, if you don't consume oil you will be hungry again 2 hours later.
>>106847092The cheapest ones.No IoT shit. Pure mechanical controls.
>>106847197>Pure mechanical controls.this but I modded with cheap ebay PID controller for precise temp control. still going strong after many years
>>106847192That's what fat is for not oil. Oil eaters develop squirrel cheeks.
>>106847092Countertop convection ovens are the better of the two, but more expensive and you need to get an actual countertop convection oven. Only get one on sale, they go on deep discounts all the time at brick and mortar stores. Wolf is a safe brand, I've had mine for ~20 years and no issues. Air fryers are alright for reheating fried foods or frozen shit like fries or nuggies or whatever. I rarely use mine except when I'm being lazy as fuck, usually dumplings or fries.
hey dumbass, pizza goes in the oven, not the air fryer
>>106847357theres tons of them on sale rn on amazon. im looking at a cosori but IDK if its good or not"COSORI Toaster Oven Air Fryer Combo, 11-in-1, 26QT Convection Oven Countertop"
>>106847092I have a cusinart toaster oven thats lasted for over 5 years. Led is a bit fucked up after 3 years or so but not a big deal.
>>106847415Better to wait till black friday or, potentially preferably, after Christmas and not get a no-name chinknesium brand. Many of them are toxic and shed chemicals into your food. I dunno what your budget is, but make sure there's no PFAs or whatever.
It's a fucking oven, use your oven.
i bought picrel several months ago and use it everydaydon't listen to the poorfag luddites ittexpensive but totally worth it. i've owned cheaper airfryer/toaster ovens before but this one has been the best by far
I've got a 2 drawer ninja, works well.The bigger the compartment, the crappier the air fryer. Because it requires a bigger fan they'll probably cheap out on.
>>106847192Fat nigger, too early for mutts so I don't know what gypsy abomination you are
>>106847588Concur. I've been using an earlier model of this for over ten years, might be time to upgrade. Hopefully their quality hasn't gone down.
Dualit toaster if you can afford it
>>106847113I don't like dealing with deep frying either. Whatever chemslop they put on good oven fries nowadays, it really works. I might shallow fry something, but no more deep frying.>>106847171That's why you use hard fats for a deep frier, tallow or palm oil. Solid fat doesn't spoil too fast and the deep frier is easier to move/store.
>>106847092every airfryer with a plastic shell is a piece of shit that will kill itself as the plastic corners slowly degrade and then fail to maintain its own shape, forcing you to slam the shake tray until it finally fails and refuses to stay closed. tricking goy into adopting disposable cooking devices is the most jewish shit ever.my gas oven is over 20 years old, still works. but i have to buy an air fryer every fucking year because they are made out of garbage with obvious points of failure. current airfryer is only working because i rubber band the mother fucker to keep the tray closed.
>>106847092I wanted to get one to easily roast veggies but I couldn't find one that didn't look like a rip off.
>>106847917>slamming the tray closed like i'm reloading a printer like I'm loading a .50sounds good nigga >>106847973roasting veggies is low n' slow and you want standing hot air. air fryers wouldnt be great for veg since they're higher temp
>>106847917yea this seems to be a common complaint, the machine wont start eventhough the basket or door is all the way in.noted
is it a good idea to avoid units with knobs ?every review has complaints of them breaking off
>>106848023knobs are replaceable and 90% of the full assemblies are like picrel where installing a new actual handle knob is trivial and repairing it is even easier
>>106847982>roasting veggies is low n' slowPretty sure it's the opposite but ok.
>>106848053works for me. keeps em soft and juicy on the inside but 350-400 is still enough to crisp up the outside
>>106847092>>106847168i use cheapest one to the costco 100 dollar oneI never clean them, they last like 3-5 years before the element fucking dies or the fan stops working.
>>106848059400 degrees is not "low".
>>106848063my oven goes up to 525. skill issue
>>106847588>i've owned cheaper airfryer/toaster ovens before but this one has been the best by farHow is it better? I'm looking at ones like this too, I prefer metal over plastic. Does the convection fan shut off while cooking like my cheap instapot?
toaster overn style of you got the space otherwise a shit small one is what i have omg reheated pizza in it is so good, i get 10lb bags of tater tots and nuggies at costco
>>106847092Avoid basket fryers. They tend to be cheaply made and annoying to clean. They are also limited to basically just air frying, so they're worse in all regards. Also avoid ones that use non-stick coatings. You want something you can apply steel wool onto every couple of months when normal soap and water no longer cuts it.Avoid anything with a touch screen or those shitty "not really a touchscreen but it's still just a capacitive touch" buttons. Dials are the best way to go, with physical buttons a good alternative.I have one of these Breville ovens. Fully stainless steel, has a slot for the broiler, and has a powerful fan for air frying. Bonus is that it can get temperature low enough for dehydrating, so I use it for drying 3D printing spools. A bit expensive, but will outlive 3-4 cheap basket air fryers easily.
>>106849104>They tend to be cheaply made and annoying to clean.This is because people use them wrong. I've got a little wire rack that goes in mine, I clean the basket itself maybe once a month, and the rack takes 2 seconds to wash.I've had a small convection oven before, they're fantastic for something like cooking a whole chicken. Waste of energy for single portions. You're right about dials, though.
>>106847299Source?
is there any good model that is also a microwave or at least not a single use appliance?
theres 2 ninja models SP300c and SP101c.I cant tell which one is better, higher number in name should be better right?
>>106849104>They tend to be cheaply made and annoying to clean.Not true. They're easy to clean. The Breville, on the other hand, is a bitch to clean.
>>106851032No, microwaves are at odds with the concept.It's not a single use appliance, a soup maker or a coffee maker is a single use appliance. Air fryers are just small ovens, anything you can do in a regular oven can be cooked faster and easier in an air fryer.
>>106847588my mommy loves this thing
>>106851032I also want a microwave toaster oven eventually to replace my enormous 70s microwave
>>106853876there are microwaves oven, i dont see why they could be at odds. it just needs a mica window and space out of the chamber for the microwave internals
>>106852730I got the sp101, it's pretty good for making pizza
>>106854455Air fryers are not the same as mini convection ovens, despite what one retard spamming breville shit here thinks.When you increase the size of the cooking area, you reduce the efficiency. A mini oven is a jack of all trades, master of none, while the air fryer is the optimal way to cook small amounts of food, and a real oven is the optimal way to cook a large amount of food. When you combine a microwave and a mini oven, either you have a shit microwave, or a shit mini oven.
>>106847092An air fryer is just a convection oven. I use a black and decker toaster oven from the 80's, works perfect. It looks like this with different colors.
>>106847092Just buy a convection oven. Better yet, but a microwave convection oven combo so you only need one appliance.
>>106854505i wont have any problem in having a microwave with the chamber size of a regular air fryer.
>>106854658There is a reason microwaves are that big.
>>106847092I got this bad boy (Ninja Foodi OP101) five and a half years ago when I lived in the dorms. It has a bunch of functions, but now that I have a kitchen I only use it for air frying. I've never used its pressure cooking function, that shit scares me desu, but my homie says it works great. They fucked up making it this good. I've been waiting for it to die so I can justify buying a bigger one, but it's still going strong. One of the first things I did with it was plug it into a 230V outlet by accident and try to use it. It turned on, made weird popping noises, I realized I fucked up and unplugged it. Apparently not a problem. This thing's a beast. I also got the Ninja cookware set from Costco. I'll shill for these guys any day, they earned it.
>>106854893Ninja make a lot of overpriced crap, but their air fryers are decent. You can probably get something cheaper that still works, but my first air fryer was total junk.
>>106854770my regular plates fits on my current shitty air fryersee i meant shit like this, not necessarily a microwave >>106854893
i'm in the UK, i have this cheap 2-litre Salter one i got for £20. no frills at all. barely any space, but good for a singular meal (e.g. chicken tendies, chips, veggies). takes minutes to hit 200 degrees C.still going strong after 5 years. heats up, cooks food, easy to clean. definitely wouldn't fit something like a pizza though.
>>106855451idk if im just fat or what but it doesnt seem like you can put very much in there.like 2 tendies and a dozen fries.
>>106847092Why would you get one of those if you can just get a normal oven and put that in your kitchen? Or isn't there enough space for it?
>>106847092ninja, ive had my current ninja for over 5yrs and it still going strong.I also have one of these >>106847357 but the ninja airfryer is way better and it can grill steaks absolutely perfectly without me having to do shit.
>>106856406old conventional oven takes for fucking ever to pre-heat and might broken and I dont want to replace it. I usually cook food with frying pan/pot like chicken and rice or something but im getting bored of it and once in a while I'd like to have some tendies and fries again
>>106847113no shit? oil is cancer.>>106847092got a liddl nearby?
>>106857123>oil is cancerso use saturated animal fats like butter
>>106855451how long does it take to make fries or chickin?
>>106857219ever heard of cholesterol?
>>106857230Cholesterol is healthy. Statins make you die faster.
>>106855451>i'm in the UK, >i have a 2-litre air fryerI doubt anyone would have confused you for a Burger anon. 2 liters is Burger Breakfat Pepsi.
>>106847092already have one but should get this one
>>1068471131. no cleanup2. no grease mist3. no cleanup
>>106847113they're optimal for heating up frozen goyslop
OP here, I ended up going with a cheaper one called "Philips 2000 Series Airfryer - 4.4 qt" while it was still one sale.its cheap as fuck so if it breaks I won't be as sad as if I bought one of the $300+ onesalso I had to consider the old fuse box I have at my place, some air fryers/mini ovens can draw 15 amps and the fuses I have installed are all 15 amps and would probably blow and I'd have to go buy new ones.would have been nice to be able to bake a frozen pizza once in a while but oh well.is it possible to use like a wire rack thing to cook like 2 things at once ?
BTW avoid any air fryers that use halogen bulbs.they work great at first but if even a bit of oil, even from your fingers gets on it the bulb can eventually explode
>>106857804Yeah, but you'll need a rack that fits in it. It's all about air flow, as long as you aren't choking the lower layer completely, it'll cook, just a little slower.
>>106857804googling seems like they only make racks for larger sizes you'll have to measure and find a generic one
I have an air fryer oven
>>106858093
>>106858125got any cool tips or recepies?receiving this on Monday
>>106859404It's just a faster oven, dude.
>>106847092Friendly reminder that anything with non-stick surfaces are insanely toxic and the plastic particles go straight to your testicles. Use steel, cast iron, ceramic, or glass only. And don't buy any cookware from China since it probably has lead in it.
>>106859429I never used an oven.I eat instant ramen and instant soup only.
>>106859563your bones, sir?
>>106847113Every fucking thread, some skullfucked animal fresh off of /pol/ trying to derail the thread with some comment infused with brain damage.Every single fucking time.
>>106859868what about them?
>>106860004lacking some calcium?
>>106847415I received a cheap basket style cosori as a gift a few years back. It's held up and performed well.My only gripe has been the obnoxiously loud piezoelectric beep on every button press.
>>106847092The only correct answer.
>>106860380is the basket big enough to do an adult sized portion of fries and chicken tendies at once?like half a dozen tendies and 2 hand fulls of fries or something IDK
>>106860517Absolute SOVLLook at the tasteful utilitarianism of it. The simple but clean stainless look. My god, it even has a crumb catch.
>>106860564It's the best. It even automatically decreases the toasting time if the oven's warm from previous runs so your toast gets consistently browned.
>>106847092>and maybe a pizzayou lost me here, OPexplain yourself
>>106860349noI take calcium pills
>>106860530Yeah that'll fit.The only time I've run into capacity problems is with something like a salmon filet that I have to chop down a bit.
>>106847391he said toaster ovenregular ovens are big bro
>>106860633^This, >>106847092Make your own dough/crust an grill that pizza over charcoal. Way more yummy.
bemp
>>106847092Just buy one of those that cost like 35 dollars. Believe me, the expensive ones are not worth it.
>>106847113
>>106857227answer this
>>106847092Get one that also steams to make the sides warm.
>>106864130Insides*
>>106859404The only thing really with these air ovens is it's best to semi-defrost food firstYou''ll find that you need to knock about 10-15 degrees off things and it's about 10-15 minutes faster
>>106847197my cheap one has shit heating elementtakes forever to cook tendies
>>106847588whats the advantage compared to classic oven?
>>106847092Me and my family have gone through several over the years, and have had the best luck with Cosori. Decent size and outlasted others we've had. Good customer support too, the two times we had any issues (touch panel stopped working, and a recall), they sent free replacements.That said, maybe consider just going for the cheapest one. It's a fan and a heating element above a basket, extra controls and "smart" features are just extra opportunities to fuck it up.
>>106855451>>106856296i have same form factor just generic chink brand and its awful>too small>too slow
>all these people recommending hybrids or just convection ovensThey absolutely do not work the same or as well as an actual air fryer.Hybrids/convection ovens are much slower and screw with the texture more. Arguing they're the same because they both use hot air is like saying a moped and a race car are the same because they're both an engine on wheels. They'll both get you to the finish line, so what's the difference? At best it's misinformed and at worst it's deliberately posting in bad faith.
>>106847113>t.
>>106847588I came here to post the same model. It seemed to be the most liked when I was looking up airfryer/toaster ovens 6 years ago, and it's worked perfectly since then.
>>106864509smaller = uses less electricity. Don't need to heat up a big full oven just to cook something small.convection = it circulates the air so food cooks faster
>>106849104>Avoid basket fryers. They tend to be cheaply madeAnd equally cheap to buy>and annoying to cleanThe basket on mine is dishwasher safe>They are also limited to basically just air fryingNo shit, that's their point. Use your oven/other appliance if you need a different cooking method>so they're worse in all regardsAll regards, except for the fact that proper air frying will get better results for many foods than anything your Breville will manage.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6h9JhW-m35oRequired watching for anyone considering toaster oven/air fryer combos
>>106847092They’re great for rehearing n things and making them crispy and heat things differently than a conventional oven. Convection ovens are things for a reason. I got a kitchen aid box air fryer with a front door. It works perfectly. It replaced my toaster and takes up more room on the counter but it’s great
>>106860633Air fryers are the best way to reheat pizza, no question
>>106859404>got any cool tips or recepies?Just use Google, retard.
>>106866415I don't want to use Google. Google is the lowest point.I'd rather trust 4chan and wisdom accumulated by at least like-minded anonfags than random posts on Google.no one even bothers with mustard gas anymore...
>>106847113>getting your veins clogged with cholesterol is based and maga
>>106864887> proper air frying will get better results for many foods than anything your Breville will manage.Wow, people really don't know what air frying actually is here, huh?
>>106847092The less features it has the longer it will last. The best kind just have a timer and temperature setting with analog knobs. Maybe one more knob for broil vs bake vs fry but that's pushing it.
>>106847092I want an air fryer I can cook a whole chicken in, how big does in need to be?
>>106867352I would say at least as big as a whole chicken.
>>106867370Thanks.
Insta is the best brand.
>>106867400They're very durable and even after getting thrown across the room or slammed on the ground they still keep working without issue.
