air fryer seems like if your oven was smaller and then you had to wash it after every use. and also sometimes it’s made out of plastic (nonstick material)

Why are you washing your air fryer after every use? Just put down aluminum foil or parchment paper, same as you do in the oven.

It's small and powerful convection oven. I'd still prefer a microwave + oven

Air fryers have changed the game. My life is different now. I'm a changed man. I fry my food with the air. I will never go back.

It's an Adult Easy Bake Oven

Mine is a toaster oven/air fryer combo and it's amazing. I don't even touch my normal oven anymore.

I've found that air fryers often make far better results than conventional ovens. Conventional ovens tend to cook things unevenly, will more easily burn some parts of the food, take more time to cook and dry things out.

You'll never get homemade chicken wings as crunchy and juicy as you can get them in an air fryer in a conventional oven.

„It makes way better fries then the regular oven” Well, have you also shaken the oven fries every 15 seconds?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't shake air fryer fries at all and they're still better, but I live in the US where convection ovens are very uncommon in households. That's why air fryers are so popular here.

I have one and the air fryer is still way better.

It is waaay faster and easier to use than an oven.
