    Air fryers are utter toad-crap! Absolutely ridiculous compared to either fan ovens or deep fat fryers!

        Tell me you have no clue about cooking, without telling me you have no clue about cooking….

          Righto sport. Do you even understand the basic concepts at play?

          Both appliances create heat and move that heat around the food using a fan. Air fryers don’t actually “fry”. It’s a marketing term. They do exactly the same thing as a fan-forced (convection) oven, using a fraction of the energy. That’s all.

              Jesus Christ - you’re one of those. You haven’t written anything other than baseless assertions. Present some facts or fuck off already.

                You mean, I should act as you and just fart baseless assumptions into the internet?

                Contrary to you, I cook professionally on a regular basis and I have tried out air fryers for various products and recipes and stand by my judgment.

                In comparison to fat fryers or conventional baking ovens, air fryers provide an extremely uneven heat distribution and dry out the product without creating a roasted crust.

                But if you like heating your hot pockets in them, go ahead.

                  Dude… many of the top chefs use air fryers. And many of those are celebrity level. Stop talking out of your ass. There’s tons of articles and recipes made my actually accomplished chefs that would run circles around you that use them in their restaurants.

                  Your opinion isn’t a fact. Just because you can’t figure out how to use them correctly doesn’t mean they’re shit.

                  Go sit down.

                    That is complete and utter nonsense! If you‘d seen a commercial kitchen from the inside, you’d know that an air fryer is absolutely useless, as you already have appliances that do the job and do it way better.

                    And as you are only stating second hand opinions and clearly have no personal experience in cooking on a commercial level regarding neither quality nor quantity, I stand with my point and boldly call you an uncritical believer in advertising and an idiot.

              I don’t get this debate because I think people who like air fryers and people who don’t like air fryers are 2 different demographics? Air fryers are cheap, small, and fast. That fits a lot of people’s needs who are single, newly entering the work force, or just struggling to make a decent wage. A large, expensive convection oven doesn’t fit a lot of people’s needs. Isn’t it just okay to accept that these products are aimed at different sectors of the market?

              I’d argue that even though the principles convection oven and an air fryer are the same the physics of how an air fryer works are actually different from how a convection oven does, but I don’t feel like typing that out right now. So here’s a YouTube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvHUZtKCqvo

          I was getting this impression from you. Though you seem more of a wannabe cook.
