the air frier is such a marketing genius, they used an established technology, the convection oven, packed it small and brand it as healthy, now everyone has it

I got one not because it's healthy but because it's literally a small oven for when I don't want to heat the whole big oven
Toaster ovens were also a thing.
Im seriously considering getting rid of my oven and replacing it with an air fryer and portable induction hotplates.
Only problem is that a frozen pizza wont fit in an air fryer and thats like the only thing I actually use the over for!
There's plenty of larger tabletop convection ovens that will fit most frozen pizzas. Unless you're making a world record size pizza, you should be fine.
If you don't do Thanksgiving then this is honestly viable. Literally the only reason my big ass of an exists at this point is for a turkey because even though I got one of the probably largest countertop air fryers I could find where I can fit whole roasted chickens and do baking and other stuff it won't fit a whole ass turkey and I don't think I would want one that could that would be just a little bit too much counter space

I use my air fryer basically for fries and thats it. I have a convection oven that's like 1/3/ 2/3 though that is fuckin KILLER for this reason. It saves on energy only heating the top, The top bit preheats in a couple minutes max, and it fits basically everything except maybe a cake or something. Since my breakup ive had to pull out the divider one time.
which is why I have a toaster oven. Way easier in the summer.
Like a toaster over?
Yeah but it has a fan.
It's an improvement on established technology. The "healthy" angle is that it has a drip tray. For some reason that has more marketing potential than: cooks quicker, with less energy, and a smaller device.
I like them cause they cook faster and crisp better than convection ovens. A leaf blower, like the other person said.
Air fryer, automatic pressure cooker, and electric smoker: three appliances that every home cook should own to step up their meal game. Your food will taste so much better.
(I mean you haven't lived until you've had ribs that were smoked for 2 hours, stuck in the instant pot for 20 minutes, and then finished off in the broiler or on the grill. No other method tops this technique. Or birria that was pressure cooked instead of the traditional stove method. And now I want ribs and tacos birrias.)

Do you ever clean your air fryer?
Did Beethoven clean his piano after every sonata?
God, I hope so. Imagine all of Beethoven's finger gunk sticking to those keys.
I knew a keyboard player a while back that didn't like cleaning his keys, they got slick from finger oil with use and he didn't like the little bit of extra friction they had when they were clean.
Holy fuck, how fast was he playing that he needed lube? Lmao
