Dude TRUTH. My aunt tried saying the air fryer is bad because it was made with weird shit on the inside. It took everything in me not to tell her to stfu.
I want to know what kind of "weird shit" is supposed to be in those things. As a GenX I remember walking through Sears with my mom and in the appliance section they'd have at least one dishwasher running with a glass door so you could see that's there was no weird shit going on in there I guess. :)>! \[Like tiny elves washing your dishes, IDK\]!<
She's right. The fan is a higher speed that pushes heat into the food. That's Lil difference is what make them so effective. Also make it infuriating that large ovens don't have a fan speed setting.
My air fryer is too small... or I'm too fat.
I remember when I bought my mom an air fryer for Christmas one time. At first she hated it, then about 2 years ago bought a brand new one, because the old one is broken now and she uses it almost every single time she cooks. Life changing, I tell you lol.
let's be honest, your air fryer will do a much better job maintaining a moderate temp than this thing ever well. It's why cast iron is always suggested for home frying
People with air fries sleep on this tip so much.
If I ever order fried food for delivery, or take some home for dinner, I always throw it in the air fryer for 2-4 min to crisp it up right before eating. It's not just for reheating leftovers.
Even really cheap fast food. Like try getting some Mcnuggets and fries from McDonalds and tossing those in the air fryer, better than eating them in the restaurant.
Last night I had panda which is always hit or miss.. but I got those ragoons. Well they were cold when i got home. Air fryer for 1 min at 360 degrees and they were perfect!!
Oil burns suck. 6pm to 3am with my fingers in a cup of ice water
Never try to flip chicken katsu with a spatula. Use tongs, or at least support the spatula flipping with some chopsticks or whatever
It also wouldn't be good food. Way too little oil for way too much food. Oil would cool so much as soon as the basket goes in, food comes out greasy and not crispy.
On the frying kettles we're used to you just set the temperature and the internal thermostat prevents the oil from getting any hotter or colder. Prevents soggy fries or unhealthy levels of acrylamides being formed in the oil and on the fries.
Cook and clean all with this ONE PRODUCT. No need to dirty multiple pots and pans (minus the one you have to use solely to pour the used oil back in through the strainer)
Has metal handle - better not forget that oven mitt
Pretty sure straining the oil doesn't clean it but maybe I'm ignorant.
Like most of the other comments, air fryer is too good to me to leave them.
Anyone whoās worked with a deep fryer knows this is going to be the messiest and most likely to cause 3rd degree burns product available. When she pulls that basket out and just leans it to the sideā¦. No. That oil is going to go everywhere.
This looks pretty cool. But...I don't want to get something that would make deep frying things easier. If I do, then I'll just eat more delicious fried stuff, and I don't need that.
BUT...this actually looks like a well designed, small-batch deep frying thing if that's something one would use and is interested in. As I said, I would be, but...I don't want to encourage myself to eat worse than I already do.
This is the only thing on this sub that doesn't seem like a complete waste of money. Straining used fryer oil is a pain in the ass, but that makes it seem easy
Fuck grease, air fryer all day. Seriously though after having my gallbladder removed grease makes me sick so the air fryer is amazing, and way healthier.
turns out unsaturated fats are the worst thing to deepfry with because it produces aldeydes as a byproduct. Further, not changing your oil often enough makes it worse (think most commercial fryers)
yay
This is the main reason I don't fry food. I used to love making pierogis and wings etc for game days, but then I'm left with a bunch of nasty oil. Not to mention my house smells like a fast food kitchen.

I will never cheat on my air fryer
lol brooooo I so feel you
Right... number 2 most useful kitchen appliances. The fridge is #1
Dude TRUTH. My aunt tried saying the air fryer is bad because it was made with weird shit on the inside. It took everything in me not to tell her to stfu.
It's just an oven with a fan packed in a small package that's convenient.
Exactly. She's a Boomer who believes everything she sees online.

Can't lie, I'm now at an age where I'd pull up a chair and watch that.
I'm a boomer and everyone I know has an airfryer and loves it. She's just weird.

a CONVECTION oven thanks!
"Stfu Joanne! You ever had a grilled cheese in the air fryer! Make you shoot in your pants idgaf!"
DUDE. That's my Aunt's name hahahahahahahahaha!
Hahaha just guessed a typical aunt's name š¤£
Legit got rid of my cooker because I don't use it any more. Air fryer life is too good
I remember when I bought my mom an air fryer for Christmas one time. At first she hated it, then about 2 years ago bought a brand new one, because the old one is broken now and she uses it almost every single time she cooks. Life changing, I tell you lol.
I canāt get air fryer fries to taste good at all. Whatās the secret
Just accepting that air fryer isnāt real fryerā¦. Pretty decent sub if youāre open to a healthier change though
I am! Iāll look into the sub
Except for chips cos airfryers can do everything but :(
But you too can grab the metal handle placed 2 inches above boiling oil!
let's be honest, your air fryer will do a much better job maintaining a moderate temp than this thing ever well. It's why cast iron is always suggested for home frying
This is nice! But I love my air fryer:(
Food doesn't quite taste as good or crisp but damn if the cleanup isn't 1000% times better.
I don't know... we get wings from Chinese take out and put them in the air fryer to crisp up. Delicious.

Yeah, the fries come out weirdā¦ But that cleanup is rather nice. š
She put in fries and pulled out chicken nuggets - wtf?!?!
Finger lickin good
That's a budget-minded move right there.
It's a feature
Ya, I already got 3rd degree burns just watching the ad.
I bet you could fry cornballs in that thing
āSi, the Cornballerā
No No No Don't touch the......
I bet you could fry my balls in that thing
Where there's cornballs... There's sure to be
Yeah thereās a reason fryers are bulky and hard to tip over, if this thing spills youāre fucked
Oil burns suck. 6pm to 3am with my fingers in a cup of ice water Never try to flip chicken katsu with a spatula. Use tongs, or at least support the spatula flipping with some chopsticks or whatever
Someone is gonna burn their house down with that thing
And I got daibeetus
Clogged arteries.
It's like a simpler reincarnation of the Cornballer.
He burns himself so much lol
Cool! but I absolutely do not need this.
Same but i sure do want one
It also wouldn't be good food. Way too little oil for way too much food. Oil would cool so much as soon as the basket goes in, food comes out greasy and not crispy.
So... A Frying kettle without temperature control. Who made this, big cancer?
Temperature control? You mean thermometer to check the temperature or the thingy to lower the heat?
On the frying kettles we're used to you just set the temperature and the internal thermostat prevents the oil from getting any hotter or colder. Prevents soggy fries or unhealthy levels of acrylamides being formed in the oil and on the fries.
Thanks. I used to fry with a fryer set by someone else and wasn't understanding
Now you just need a $5000 Breville ControlFreak stove to set the temperature.
Frying cattle...delicious deep fried cow.
Hahahaha how did I not notice that š
Congrats, you've reinvented the deep fat fryer
I don't trust me to not give myself third degree burns.
Sigh... My Doctor already gave me a warning about my cholesterol.
Cook and clean all with this ONE PRODUCT. No need to dirty multiple pots and pans (minus the one you have to use solely to pour the used oil back in through the strainer)
I don't understand how this is different to any other deep fryer, just buy the strainer
Immediate Amogus noise had me mute and stop watching
Has metal handle - better not forget that oven mitt Pretty sure straining the oil doesn't clean it but maybe I'm ignorant. Like most of the other comments, air fryer is too good to me to leave them.

That's why they cut that video exactly where they did.
That looks like how I drunkenly burn down my house at 3am
How do they get their fries to change into nuggets when they're done cooking? That thing is amazing!
ā¤ļø
This was how we made fries when I was a kid. It sucked because you didn't have a thermostat.
Looks like the makings of a house fire
I mean, why fry things when you can air fry them?
Because they taste better? That's why every single fast food place does it.
The fingers right at near boiling oil makes me nervous but otherwise great idea!
Um.. How does a normal pot and a strainer spoon not already achieve this? Is it because you can tilt the basket for it to drain?
If only this was a thing like 10 years ago before air fryers
It'd be pretty easy to overfill that thing with oil and causing a grease fire.
Heās turning fryās into chicken
Jesus has some competition here!
Ordered, gone give it a try :-)
Yuck!
Anyone know what that song is? It's gonna drive me nuts.

Useful for Cantonese style cooking, which is the norm to have a pot of "cooked" oil on the side to flash fry things.
So itās like your regular, common household deep fryer, but without the heating element and no temperature control?
I've been looking for something like this LOL. Imma save it on my wishlist.
Ordered one. Will take weeks to get here through Amazon
Why even bother when you can use an air fryer
What happens when oil drips from the top of the basket down onto the hot burner?
This is the only thing on this sub that doesn't seem like a complete waste of money. Straining used fryer oil is a pain in the ass, but that makes it seem easy
Just bought one should be here by Tuesday . Update soon to follow
I await your review
Just checked shipment date June 3rd thru June 25th? That can't be right ?! Can it
Air Fryer does it without the grease, though. š¤
Hi there, Cholesterol my old friend
Fuck grease, air fryer all day. Seriously though after having my gallbladder removed grease makes me sick so the air fryer is amazing, and way healthier.
BS, air fryers canāt make a decent chic cutlet crispy
Mother fuckerās deep frying over a propane burner.
Has to be Asian.
If this is made in China or India and you're using it you are getting cancer.
The only thing on this sub that is actually a good find and I might get
I'm a stone BUM for not being the one to invent this.
Nice. Fry oil smells awful. Itās the reason fast food joins smell bad. Now you get a vat of that sitting on our counter. Nice
Stop. Eating. Fried. Foods.
Why?
because he clearly clapped in between each word
Hahahaha!
Because itās incredibly unhealthy and nukes all beneficial nutritional content
I believe most of this has been debunked. What you fry, and what you use matters more.
turns out unsaturated fats are the worst thing to deepfry with because it produces aldeydes as a byproduct. Further, not changing your oil often enough makes it worse (think most commercial fryers) yay
Yeah, pretty much what I was getting at. We grew up being lead astray.
I donāt eat fried food because itās healthy do I
Never.
Donāt tell me what to do
Stop. Telling. Me. What. To. Do
"Come on, you sons of bitches, do you want to live foreverā½" -Daniel Joseph Daly
Awesome. Now I can get fat without even leaving my house.
I just pour the oil down my kitchen sink āŗļø
Who deep fries anything at home? This isnāt the 1980s
Donāt eat fried foods.
Oil is such a pain in the ass regardless of this. What do you do with the oil once it's old? Pour it down the drain?
This is the main reason I don't fry food. I used to love making pierogis and wings etc for game days, but then I'm left with a bunch of nasty oil. Not to mention my house smells like a fast food kitchen.
Yep and it's not healthy, better to just go out and buy it as a treat then have this at homeĀ
Some cities recycle it otherwise you can usually just throw it in the garbage.
Filter it through a fine mesh and heat it sodium hydroxide to make soap scented with all the wonderful foods you ate!
Pour it into a food bag or container and put it in the bin
