Or just get a bigger air fryer and don't stack the fries 4 layers deep.
You don't cook food in oil. A little bit of fried food isn't going to hurt you, but if you eat a ton of fried foods, yeah it'd definitely be healthier.
this. I didn't realize until I bought one for my GF. It's just a tiny convection. That said it's great
now I didn't know this was an option until you posted it. I'd only used convection ovens professionally. I was going to get myself an air fryer but I'll look into this as long as they're not too much pricier
Weird because an air fryer is a convection oven. They even say that in the article.
I can break down that article for you with one line...
Yeah after reading the article I'm tempted to still go the air fryer direction. Yes they're cumbersome but the $75 ninja I purchased for my gf works fine for my use and while I'd much prefer the toaster oven for it's more varied capabilities an extra $125-$225 is a big price difference
"Hard hitting". Ignoring the fact that 35 hours of testing is practically nothing lol
Yes, that's my point but they are almost all oddly-shaped and you're just better off with a regular actual convection toaster oven. No need for an 'air-fryer' I guess they have their uses, I just wouldn't recommend them to anyone if they're going to be used it often. They don't cook evenly and they don't make much. Price:Surface area or whatever.
uh...okay then. The article goes into pretty good detail over everything. I've worked with these fryers and ovens throughout the years. A convection toaster oven is the way to go. Air-fryers are mostly just hype. But do you. I don't really mind.
The article is also comparing devices that are generally quite a bit cheaper. Especially if you aren't sure whether you'd like a device, dropping $70 on a 6 QT air fryer that is going to be big enough for a family of 4 isn't that big of a barrier to entry.
I use mine every day for nearly 2 years. They cook very evenly and it cooks frozen chicken or fish or anything just fine. Just like anything else there is a learning curve to it because you can't follow the standard oven instructions and expect it to translate.
I'm just trying to educate on the other options. And, imo, better options. There are tons of convection toaster ovens on Amazon and Wal-Mart that can be had at discount. End of the day? Just not a fan (heh) of the design of most air-fryers because of how unevenly they tend to cook.
Mine has a rotisserie basket for wings. Perfect bacon every time. Saying the cook unevenly is a lie or someone just doesn't know how to figure out times/temps.
Yeah, I definitely get that. Just not a fan personally. Different strokes.
