Air Fryers?
Wife and I have been talking about getting one. Our oil fryer is being a **** so I think it is time.
What’s the planets thoughts on them? Any models that are good or not? |

I use mine all the time but only for potatoes so far. It's fairly small so I don't think cooking meat would work very well.

I've always wanted one but figured that the commericial were bullshit. They sound handy though.

If you have kids its a must and even if you dont they are very handy. If for nothing other than not messing with all that oil.

Hell I use mine mainly every day for my 5 and 2 year old. Great for chicken nuggets, french fries, bunch of stuff. My 5 year old even loads the air fryer and punches the time and temp in. great food. Well worth it.

we use it for far more than potatoes. we marinate chicken or beef , cut it up into small chunks and use the air fryer . it works fine . ( that being said it is basically a small convection oven with a basket)

I have the Philips XL. It's pretty big. Everything I read prior to purchase was get the biggest you could afford, and I agree with that after using mine.
It does some things really, really well. Anything frozen that was pre-fried - like frozen fries, chicken nuggets, etc. Those come out like 90-95 the quality of oil fried. It crisps everything up really well. It also reheats pizza like a beast. What it does well - potatoes, roasted veggies, etc. I've made quite tasty traditional dredged fried chicken in mine. Again, not quite as good as deep or pan fried, but good. Less messy and allegedly better for you. It's a trade off for a little dip in taste. I've roasted salmon, as well. That turned out nice. My only failure was frozen fried okra. That was just awful. A couple things that are must - stop the cook and shake the basket every few minutes; and spritz the food with oil when it goes in. I also strongly recommend getting some parchment steamer inserts. Helps keep the food from sticking to the basket. |
