ISO Air Fryer Experiences

[Markf]

Your point is valid. I was just trying to point out that I use it for a lot of different things.

After all he comments/information, I've decided that an air fryer is a redundant appliance for our household and I thank everyone for their comments and explanations of experience.

I bought a Cuisinart air fryer, toaster/ oven. I got it because what I really need a second oven, but there's no way that's possible for me. The one I got was a good deal it. I bought it because a good friend adores hers and uses it all the time.

What I have found is that it does all the things it says it will do but not as well as frying or using the oven/broiler. The thing about it is that it does everything fast. It comes to temp in no time, and doesn't heat up your house like an oven does.

I can see it being a very useful tool for someone who has to put a meal on the table but doesn't have time nor the desire to cook. I use it, but I wish I had spent my money on something else.

You CANNOT "do the same thing in an oven". If you think you can, you're doin' it wrong.

But you can. An air fryer is just an oven, after all.

I was gifted one recently and I actually like it a lot.

You can't make batter coated foods with an air fryer, only breaded items. A beef batter would simply drip off, as would a tempura batter, or batter for onion rings, etc.
