Tried frying and started a grease fire which ended in 2nd degree burns. Should I just get an air fryer?
Just stop cooking. Fast food was invented for you.
air fryer is just a small convection oven
use your oven instead if you have one
So, do most people not have an oven? Is there a difference between the two? If not, why buy a redundant appliance.
Thanks for the encouragement. After Im back up to speed Im gonna get right back up and *eat* that horse.
Yeah, I was trying to pan fry and I didnt properly know how to gauge the temperature (its my second time frying and the last time my dad mostly did it)
Well now that this happened Im definitely getting an extinguisher. I threw a box and a half of powder on it to stop it.
>If not, why buy a redundant appliance.
Because people are moronic and fall for the marketing
small air fryers heat up a tiny bit quicker, but because of their size can not cook say a pizza, or roast a turkey
its aimed at consoomers/bored mothers really
toaster ovens are very useful really, great if i just want a crispy nice snack or something. saves money on electricity too
enough electricity to justify the manufacture and purchase of a second device to create convection heat?
the time is the only real benefit
>So, do most people not have an oven? Is there a difference between the two? If not, why buy a redundant appliance.
Ratio of heater-space is great, very effective.
Cheaper to run, lower wattage.
Auto-off timer, good for drunk 4am freezer food you may forget to eat/switch off.
While most people have oven, not everyone has fan oven.
Those are the only good points of the Air Fryer.
>Cheaper to run, lower wattage.
irrelevant as a whole new product has to be manufactered, shipped and purchased
>timer
many convection ovens have that feature also
>While most people have oven, not everyone has fan oven.

Air fryers usually have bigger, more powerful fans in them.
I upgraded my countertop convection oven to an oven that has an air fryer mode, and I noticed the crispiness of my oven baked wings are a lot more crispy compared to my old oven.
But I digress. A dedicated air fryer is gay and I'd rather have a regular convection oven than an air fryer.
ah that sucks bro, but now you know. lesson learned
hope it heals up, im sure that hurt like a b***h
tbh frying at home is just dangerous like that
never happened to me but im autistically careful
That's monkeypox gay

If someeone dissected what you did wrong, there is a solution for you.
The only downside of deep frying is later cooling the oil and deanting it later to an old jar or something, before pitching it.
Panfrying would only be an issue of you not using something with deep enough sides or which had water or ice crystals on it or walking away from the kitchen or stove, with a hot burner on.
If you have the countertop space or cabinet storage, and no funds to buy a convection oven, by all means get yourself some device you enjoy using. There are zero downsides to owning what you want to own other than tight space or excessive cleanup concerns. You can line a air fryer with foil and have easy cleanup. if you do frozen crap often, they crisp it for 1-2 people (that's the limit). I have a couple single use devices at my lakehouse, just to use an indoor grill on rainy days, or to press a panini sandwich when I have great baked bread in the house or like crave Cuban food. Bigass kitchen, so don't care about storage there. I still don't own a instantpot, but I do use 2 sizes of a crock pot on the regular to take to work events like the chili cook off, and other made up events we do. Waffle maker with 2 shapes, do it. Food processor just for Christmas cookies, sure! Please yourself.
Do you have a fire extinguisher graded for grease fires? a pot cover handy right there to slap on the pot, and a working alarm? Get them. I once caused a fire in a significant others apartment that scorched a pot. I whizzed, literally threw the flaming pot off the balcony to a lake below to stop the smoke alarm and smoke which was wired to call the Fire Dept of courses. Bought a new pot for the roommate. Lesson leaned not to let oil in a pan turn to smoke. Also, I don't cook bacon stovetop anymore. Always the microwave. I hate spitting grease.
Bruh you sound like a total moron holy shit
Also, while Im at it, let me describe how moronic I was in that situation.
>be me
>trying to fry
>put battered chicken bit into the oil to test it
>still pink
>turn the heat up and try again
>even pinker than last time
>turn heat up again and start looking up how to tell grease temperature without a thermometer

>ANON, GET THE BAKING SODA
>open fridge

Think bro, THINK.
>the fire rises
you should get a thermometer.
>Put battered chicken bit into the oil to test it
I'm not sure what this means, are you saying you put it in the oil for some amount of time and it was still pink inside or are you saying you dipped it in and it was pink? I'm still kind of confused as to how all of this happened.
Yeah, I put it in and the outside burnt before the inside cooked.
Well it was the first time frying alone. Im used to being able to make things with a lot more time on my hands with more time to easily correct mistakes.
No, its just there to stop smell problems, we dont use it for any cooking, there's a separate box for that.
>The outside burnt before the inside cooked
That means your oil is too hot my man, not too cold. Turning up the heat was the wrong call. Try dropping some batter into the oil next time, if it bubbles you're good to go.
>imagine not being able to manage your oil temperature while deep frying by sight and sound alone
I've been been making french fries and kettle chips at home since I was like 14, and I have never once checked my oil temperature with a thermometer.
>baking soda is in the back of the fridge
For what reason?
soaks the stank
Clean your fridge.
What are you even using that baking soda for? Do you use it for anything? Do you understand that any filth it soaks up will be put into whatever you use the baking soda for? The people saying you shouldn't be deep frying are wrong, you aren't even capable of basic self-government. You should be fricking ashamed of yourself.
How is it possible that you have never heard about using baking soda in the fridge?
Get ready for bed so you dont loose the bus for school tomorrow
You should start by being less a homosexual.
It happens, try again homie, that ain't shit. My dumbass sister cut half her pinky off bartending and she still does it. If it makes you feel any better I started a grease fire myself a couple years back and I poured water on the motherfricker and you know what happened next, my sister had to save my moronic ass by just putting a lid over it because she was cooking way before I really started trying. Like learning literally any other skill it's going to take some moronic mistakes, wasted ingredients, and bad dishes before you get any gud. It really shouldn't take long to get competent however, assuming you're brand new if you can't fry an egg within a few days then you should probably throw in the towel.
>My dumbass sister cut half her pinky off bartending
How does that happen? Was she chopping lemons and forgot to move her hand out of the way?
Actually it was an orange
you wont be able to fry anything battered on an air fryer
My wife wouldn't fit in there anyway
Just buy a cheap deep fryer. They're mostly idiot proof
deep driers suck ass. they need so much oil and stinks up the kitchen a lot. worthless unless you plan on using it almost every day
you should get some gloves, moron
you shouldn't deep fry at home
If you don't master oil frying first your LUNGS will look like that from an improperly used air fryer.
>when the fried air hits just right
Stick your dick in the toaster, OP. It feels amazing
Lol do people really start fires when cooking? Like a pan catching fire? I was convinced this is an american movie thing lol.
Dumbass probably dropped something too wet / too fast into the oil
Keep trying and one day you'll become the grease bender.
Dont stop doing something just because you made a mistake and hurt yourself, learn from your moment of moronation and come back a better man than before.
Get well soon and get a thermometer
>OP
How did he not burn himself?
The heat of the fire cooks the skin
the heat of the skin cooks the fryer
Last weekend I had a pan in the oven and after I put it on the counter to get some sauce I fully grabbed the handle and got second degree burns on my palm
Get a damned thermometer and don’t overheat your oil.
>Should I just get an air fryer?
Air fryer is bad for your hands, i would recommend getting some burn ache ointment and a gauze
no, just learn to cook
Ok Tim cook
>failing at what humanity has been doing for tens of thousands of years
i just feel sad for you
WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CANT USE A SHALLOW PAN TO DEEP FRY!?
High sided pot, moron. Do you shit in a toilet with sides just above water level?
