Me when I see an air fryer for cheap pog-fish

Me when I realize at home it's so tiny I will basically need to fry everything one portion at a time obama-sad

Hopefully it'll still work out to be more energy efficient than the oven kitty-cri-texas

    you can air fry seasoned chickpeas for a nice snack. Asparagus in a little olive oil is bangin. It does great on anything breaded and frozen, and you can cook bacon and a frozen burger patty at the same time with no mess.

    I run two air fryers with one kept to just vegetables. The 'just a little oven' crowd has zero experience or they would shut up, the air fryer gets to 400 in a couple minutes it's nothing like the effort of using the oven. Further, flipping items in the oven causes drastic heat loss and less end crunchiness than just quickly shaking the air fryer basket. Easier to use, clean, less energy wasted, it's a no brainer.

    You can get silicone inserts super cheap from temu that make cleanup SUPER easy, too.

    I ❤️ fried air

    I got an air fryer exclusively for reheating pizza and it did not disappoint. I also make corn dogs and potatoes. Once I even made a homemade hot pocket with it. Very useful device stalin-approval

      Anything fried is good in it. Roasted veg too like broccoli and cauliflower

    My mother had a microwave with a convection oven built in. Same as an air fryer, but a better size, and is a microwave at the same time.

    after getting burned by the Tracy Jordan Meat Machine ("Meat is the new Bread"), I'm a bit gunshy about executive-designed gadgetry like the Funcooker: ashower safe pocket microwave with wheels and four doors.
