Ok, sooo it’s not like a deep fryer and I feel like I can’t be the only one to learn that lesson. I battered up some cod, set it for 15 minutes, and ended up with flat fish pancakes. It’s really a mini convection oven.
No but if you’d used breadcrumbs they come out great. It’s not a fryer, but it will elevate any oven-style “fried” food, like oven fried chicken, oven fries, etc. nothing wet, it will just blow it off.
Yeah it just turns out that convection ovens make great bagged frozen fries.
I wish my normal oven was a convection oven so I didn’t need an air fryer.
People are just not getting it. No lengthy preheat times and you can stick a handful of fries in it to go with your sandwich and it will be done in under 10 minutes. Not inefficient if it can run for less than half the time of a big oven
The negative I always hear is people think you can only cook processed food like fries and chicken fingers. But it also works well with less processed food like chicken
Yes but more so. I don’t think there’s any objective criteria but where a convection oven blows hot air over food to brown it all around, sn air fryer blows more to crisp the food
And for me the convenience is key. Like a microwave, just click a few buttons and wait for it to beep
My only problem is the lack of recipes. A few processed snack foods have directions, but I’m still figuring out how to vobvert instructions for real food. “subtract 20° and 20% of the time” is inconsistent
Usually I just go with whatever the instructions are for toaster ovens if they don’t have air fryer specific, I don’t think I’ve ever really had any issues doing it. If there are only conventional I go with that temp but check it early and add time if needed.
Clearly you don’t own an air fryer

I have a fancy oven with convection but it takes a while to heat up and often I just want a couple servings of fries.

Mine has a rotisserie function and I’ve made some great roasts in there
It also has a popcorn basket and imo the popcorn turns out better than stovetop
Not just the fries, it’s great for toasting the sandwich too 😋

It’s nice that some freezer food is coming with air frier instructions. Lots of trial and error before that.

No but I have a nice conversation toaster oven.
