Comment on Tabletop convection oven
Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 3 weeks agoSometimes you want to cook things at a different temperature which is where I find the air fryer comes in handy. Also for pretty small quantities the air fryer is essentially just a mini oven that heats up quickly.
If you have a massive kitchen with multiple ovens then sure the air fryer isn’t overly necessary, but my kitchen is tiny and its the only realistic way to have multiple ovens - the air fryer has 2 compartments with a removable divider so I can use it as 1 small or 2 tiny ovens.

We have two normal sized ovens. I still prefer to use the air fryer. If only for the fact that it only takes about 8 minutes to make pizza rolls

Taquitos also take 8 minutes in my air fryer at 380°F.

So many of the things that people cook in these nasty little grease machines are processed garbage.

You mean the machine that is… an electric heater and a fan?
Meat and cheese rolled into a tortilla? Just sounds to me like you’ve got some kind of grudge against these things.

No different to ovens then

That may be true but it doesn’t have to be.
The processed garbage people feed these with are their choice, and probably due to laziness with packaging giving air fryer directions.
They are equally effective at cooking food, but you may have to look up time and temperature (or mine gives the rule of thumb to start with regular oven directions, subtract 20°, and subtract 20% from time)
