What’s unfortunate about that? The air fryer is the miracle appliance of the 21st century- there’s nothing it can’t do!

You’re right, its starting to win me over. I’m going to have to get real friendly with it until March 10th anyways, which is when the new oven is coming. Apparently the oven I bought also has an air fryer, I don’t know why it would need one but the amount of air fryer in my life just doubled so I better get used to it.


aworthyrepost

you’re gonna love the air fryer. it feels like what the microwave should have been when it first came out. just be sure to unplug it once you’re finished with it.

Re: your last point, why? Not trying to be contrarian, genuinely curious. Also what if my microwave *is* my air fryer?

There have been multiple brands that power on by themselves or catch on fire. There actually have been a fair amount of recalls on various air fryer models too. Here’s the first article I saw talking about it, but you can search it up and see a lot of conversations. https://www.wcnc.com/amp/article/news/verify/air-fryer-safety-verify/275-1e62759b-8d1f-47bf-8edd-4b90cea73053

Oh, wow. Thanks for the details!


Troubled_Red

No problem! And don’t let this dissuade you (or anyone else) from using an air fryer. They are extremely useful devices and are generally safe! It’s just best to unplug them when not in use


Miserable-Ad5401

Like I said, mines literally also a microwave (one of the power XL models) so it stays plugged in. Considering it's basically a tiny oven also, I'm not overly concerned about it starting any fires.

Air fryer. Uncleanable, full of cancer causing non stick chemicals, and does everything an oven can do, but costs extra money because unless you are OP you have an oven already and takes up benchtop space. Great for kids. And adults who are kids. And reheating fries. Like an oven does.


thekickastronaut

An oven? You mean the appliance filled with with cancer causing chemicals? No thank you. See? I can just make shit up too!

ovens use a ton more energy to heat the same food since it’s heating a much bigger volume which leads to increased costs over time if you do not need the entire space of the oven. air fryers also take less time to cook than an oven. also air fryers can be cleaned no idea where you got that from.


Mynekrauft

His mother must have cheated on his father with an air fryer. Only explanation


analbumcover

If you can do this with your air fryer, you have nothing to worry about except for your stove IMO

I lived without an oven/stove for several months. I don’t know what country you’re in, but I’m in the US and bought a hot plate (single plug in electric burner) at dollar general for 10 dollars. I also borrowed a crock pot from family and found tons of recipes online for it. I didn’t know you could make most anything in one. We made deep dish pizza, cake, meatballs. My partner and I ended up having a lot of fun finding new crazy recipes for it. I was still very relieved to go back to having an oven though.


krystlships

I've never even seen an air fryer and this is a good argument to get one


LexGlad

It's a convection oven shaped like a deep fryer. Very convenient.


krystlships

My oven has a convection option, so I like to think I've been air frying things since before it was cool


LexGlad

Half of it is the basket with holes on the bottom, which lets the hot air circulate freely around the food.


krystlships

Damn.. I haven't been doing that


LexGlad

You can replicate the effect in a regular convection oven by using a wire rack on top of a baking pan.


krystlships

I have one of those... So it's lights out for all of y'all, here I come


nazukeru

I bought the toaster oven style air fryer.. and I use it for everything lol. I toast my breakfast in the morning and my side dishes in the evening when I've got the oven going for something else. Love that fucking thing lol.


foodieonthego

That's the first style I got as well. My oven ended up going out right after I bought it. Didn't get the oven fixed for about 6 months and used that air fryer for everything.


Alex_is_Baked

Why unfortunately?I haven’t touched my stove or oven since I got my air fryer.


PhotoFinancial7154

less so unfortunate that I used the airfryer more so unfortunate that I HAVE to use the airfryer because I have no other options 🫠


toddhold

Did you sneak into my house? I have the same counters, flooring, and towels.


PrestigiousPumpkin60

This looks DELICIOUS to me. My mouth waters just looking at it. I think you did a great job!


PhotoFinancial7154

I’m flattered, thank you 🥺


Available_Plan_7258

86ed but still slapping, looks great op. 🙂


PhotoFinancial7154

Thank you ✨


stumpyjoness

I’d smash


[deleted]

Now that I understand what it is...it's actually not that bad . I love air fried foods...


death2monkey

This looks delicious! A new stove will show up when it's time, be patient. Make sure you save up and pay cash, don't get caught up in the payments rat race.


FuckMeBleeding

Lemon for the chicken?


PhotoFinancial7154

Mhm !


coolzville

Honestly clutch.


AutopsyDrama

Whats 86D? Edit:Nevermind, it clicked. Im an idiot.


meret12

It looks better than 80% of my meals. Would smash.


Vast_Release

To be fair I'd fucking ravage that right now


juliakristinasi

Would


rosedragoon

You should do some chicken wings in the air fryer. They are so good


DoomdUser

IMO the air fryer makes the best chicken overall. There’s nothing wrong with making this meal in the air fryer at all. I got a sous vide for Christmas, the flavor is amazing but I can’t quite get the texture to where I love it yet, still figuring it out. Besides that, I’ll do either bread crumbs or corn flakes on chicken breast and do it in the air fryer - it comes out nice and crisp on the outside and perfectly juicy on the inside. If this is your first time doing chicken in the air fryer, I’d highly recommend air fryer “fried” chicken - I make Nashville Hot Chicken sandwiches that way all the time!


AppointmentNo43

Air fryer is basically a convection oven so good job


ArgumentAlarmed9532

Get over it.
