So I'm considering buying one of these things. Are they actually worth the hype or are they a meme? And roughly how much should I pay for a good one?

Just go to the Salvation Army and you can pick one up for about 20 bucks. They always have at least a few sitting on a shelf
most people get rid of them once they learn its literally just an oven
Le epic rebuttal of jaded co/ck/mongler
Many don't have convection ovens so these are very useful
preheats much faster than an oven
So...it's a toaster oven, an already common household item
Yup. Air friers are a meme
>his toaster oven isn't also an air fryer

You sound like a working class chump. I bet you thought it would be a great "investment", how you would wake up to a warm, healthy breakfast to start off your long day. Maybe, you even had a couple thoughts about all the other nifty little uses you could find for the thing, how it would help you cook healthier meals in general, shed a couple pounds off the old gut, boost your confidence around work and with the ladies. Yeah, maybe that slow cooker would start your life cooking again, wouldn't it? I can see your strained hands holding the box and reading through it carefully at the store. A little bit pricey, but you're the type of guy who thinks everything is more than you can spend, aren't you. And look what happened to you. Look what the slow cooker did to you. Fricked you over, and made you clean it like a useless b***h. You don't even fricking like oatmeal. Piece of shit, you've been repeating those three words your whole life, haven't you. Yeah, how was work after that piece of shit fricked you over? I bet it was on your mind the whole day, you probably didn't say shit to nobody. Can't be telling people about your mistakes. How your little fix yourself plan, failed you. Don't want people to start thinking you're the failure. You're the piece of shit, all along. You don't want that do you? You don't want to be the piece of shit everybody secretly whispers about, do you? Was your father a piece of shit like you? I bet he never had a slow cooker. He had a woman, a house, a damn good job. I bet it's slow cooking you the frick alive, isn't it. Comparing yourself to him. How one day when all the steam runs our of your life, you'll discover how you're nothing more than burnt shit to be scrapped off and thrown in the trash.
It cooks much quicker than an oven and takes less time to preheat.
Depends on use case. It's worth it for me because I live alone and if I want to heat small portions of fries and/or protein, it's more convenient than waiting for the oven to heat. Also more energy efficient.
>moronic contrarian poorgay zoomer take
this is true, hence why it triggers consumerist morons so much
Just get an anova precision oven bro
Just bought this. Do anybody now how to cook salmon or fish using this? I'm a dumbass when it comes to cooking, my food would taste horrible regardless of how good my ingredients are/were.
unless you're cooking for 4 people at a time, then yeah they're great.
You can cook a whole damn chicken in one.
regular fish you could just wrap in foil. Salmon I'm not sure if it'd be that great.
drop any oven temp by 20 Celsius/40f, they're like supercharged fan forced ovens. it's always better to cook lower and slower and then brown it with a blast at the end.
Thanks for the cooking tips, anon
I just bought one. How do I Cook my frozen shit in this without it turning it to charcoal? The oven directions are too hot obviously but I tried some airfryer converter calculators and then going by them it's still too hot or too long because my shit comes out burnt. Those calculators seem way too conservative. It's like I can blast most things and they'll be done in a few minutes but I don't know if it's better to set the heat lower for a longer time.
The airfryer only is practical for people who live alone
Thinking about getting one for my grandparents. Would they hold enough say.. chicken fingers or something to feed two old people?
you can look at the dimension,s obvious some air fryers are tiny and some can fit whole turkeys in them.
it's an oven with a washing machine motor. It's for morons to feel like they're Smarter than they are. U want non-fried crispy potatoes cooked evenly? halfway through cooking, mix those b***hes up and rotate them. Stop being lazy, stop buying kitchen utensils that are redundant.
I live in a small apartment with no oven
>Are they actually worth the hype or are they a meme?
I don't have a microwave so I use that to heat up food. Also cooks chicken and anything baked really fast.
You should make turkey heh
They're great for turkey heh.
Turkey heh
I've only ever used mine for tater tots and occasionally making a quesadilla
they work pretty well for turkey heh
make turkey heh
worth it for turkey heh
Heh Turkey Heh
They're really good for cooking turkey heh.
anyone ever make turkey in one of these things
I live alone so I exclusively use these in place of my oven. I like them. They can cook small roast joint, pork chops, fries, nuggets, wings etc. They heat up in 3 mins and i find it really convenient.
I have an instantpot duo which does pressure cookjng and airfrying.
Highly recommend reading the reviews.
Any air fryer that isn't stainless steel:
"Smells like burning plastic when cooking"
OR
"Non-stick coating on basket started chipping off within months"
Basket-style air fryers are cancer infusers.
what about an air fryer with a stainless steel basket?
Defo worth it for cooking turkey heh.
they are actually are good and different to oven cooking op
if you have a serious passion for cooking you should get one, if not then just stick with using the oven
idk about pricing in your region but you obviously want to get a half decent brand name item
heh ever heard of turkey kid?
TURKEY HEH
My girlfriend got one for Christmas. They're situationally maybe worth having. If you lack kitchen real estate, do not get one. They're about the size of a stand mixer or a bread machine and those two things are about a million times more worth having. Basically it's really good for making shitty junk food when you're drunk or high. It can make frozen mozzarella sticks that are out of this world, but that's something that I never have unless I'm very inebriated.
If you host frequent parties/game nights/etc, or, more likely, if you're a NEET and you exclusively eat prepackaged food, it's probably more worth having than a microwave.
They're pretty handy for cooking turkey heh.
the heat of the air cooks the fryer
They're a counter-top convection oven. Most people don't own a convection oven, so they're a good option for reheating food or getting food extra crispy. That being said, they're smaller so they're best suited for two people or less. If you're cooking for more than that you'll have to cook in batches which is a b***h. It depends on your situation and your desire to own unitaskers.
If you can afford it, I'd just upgrade your oven so you don't have one extra appliance on your countertop, but if you only have a couple hundred bucks and need something to cook and reheat small batches of food, go for it. Just for the love of god, stop calling them an "Air fryer". You can't fry anything in air. You fry in fat.
roommate bought one, gained 20 pounds in two months
fricking thing takes up the little working space we had in the kitchen
great for parties though, not much else
