How do you feel about air friers? Aka convection toaster ovens
- mauvehaus 5y agoI have no idea what this is or how a person would use one in practice, but it sounds like the sort of thing invented by and marketed to people who need to get more exercise and worry less about their use of cooking fat. Edited to add: before everybody gets the impression that I'm a total curmudgeon about kitchen appliances, I think electric kettles are up there with sliced bread and my immersion blender is the best $3 I've ever spent at a thrift shop. I thought food processors were moronic until I discovered how easy they make pesto (so easy!). And I would entertain the idea of sous-vide if it weren't so cultish. On the subject of bread machines, I'm convinced that the world needs no more of them and that the existing supply will suffice for decades if people who wanted to try one went to the thrift shop instead of buying new. I've never seen a thrift shop that didn't have a couple in stock.

I bake vegetables and chicken thighs in it because I can't fit a full sized oven into my kitchen. It was a toss up between this and a toaster oven. As I already have a toaster I went with the smaller airfryer.
