Sure, okay, now ban Tesla, FB, Google, Microsoft, Apple, 99.5% of phone apps, pretty much all US tech companies, actually. Oops.
How does an air fryer work? Apart from the spying of course.
It's basically a really tiny oven with a super-powered fan inside. You put your food in a basket, the air fryer's heating element makes the air inside super hot, and the fan blasts the hot air all around your food. The super-fast hot air circulation cooks the food really quickly and makes it crispy, almost like you deep-fried it, but without all the oil.
Is it actually good? What kind of food have tried making in it? I can think of french fries (chippies) only.
It cooks basically the same stuff you would cook by frying. It saves on a lot of oil (but you still need some) but the basket can be annoying to clean.
Oh shit, I honestly would have to ask my partner for a full list of whatever we put in there, but things that you'd fry (obviously) work excellently, nothing comes to mind that turned out bad. We are on a vegan diet for many years now, so vegan replacements, veggies and all sorta shit tastes awesome. I had my gallbladder removed therefore I can't really eat much of oily things and this has been a good and reliable solution to this problem. Vegan meatballs, schnitzels, umm sausages, anything, yummy. Actually mom got it from dad some time ago as a gift to make cooking easy for her, but we use it too and it's a nice addition to a kitchen if you can put money aside for it and the up in electricity doesn't bother you. Hard to call it a substitute as you may definitely have cases where it may be not the first choice of a chef's, but it's nice to have around.
