Comment on Anon buys an air fryer

It doesn’t take half an hour to pre heat, it doesn’t heat up the whole house, and I’m not sending my power bill through the roof every time I want to make a meal for one person lol

My oven heats up in like 3-5 mins
MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Lucky you! I’ve never in my life used an oven that took less than 15 minutes to pre heat at the bare minimum

You need to close the door

How do you know it’s hot enough otherwise?? Checkmate
Unforeseen@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Is it gas? Getting an electric oven to 450 usually takes 15 minutes.

I thought you guys had 240v circuits precisely for this kind of load? On a decent 30a 230v circuit (they generally don't use anywhere near 30a though) here in Europe it takes considerably less than that. I'd say mine takes 5-8mins for 230c (which is around 450f) and it has a rated power of 3500w.

Most of our ovens aren’t hooked up to 240v

My Beko oven takes about 25 minutes to preheat to 450. Yes, its 240 volts.
gmtom@lemmy.world 11 months ago
No its electric.
Could be a US low voltage issue? Since im European.
Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
It’s ovens run on 240v, they probably just need to replace the heating element
Unforeseen@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Ah Yeah maybe, Canadian but North America as a whole is the same standard of 240v for ovens. It could also be I’ve only used lower end ovens lol.
CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That’s probably true. Our electric kettles heat up much slower too for the same reason.

450F takes my older electric oven less than five minutes, jeeeeez
AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 11 months ago
My oven won’t go higher than 275.
Nikko882@lemmy.world 11 months ago
OP is talking about Fahrenheit, but didn’t say so for whatever reason. Most ovens I’ve seen also max out around 275 Celcius.

That’s not even an over that’s like… a warm box

Just tested my air frier and it’s takes about 2 minutes, but obviously, it’s way more energy efficient. Plus easier clean up. I can just throw a bunch of fries and chicken strips in there and it’s good to go. Whereas with an oven I’d probably need to buy a special rack or something so all the oils don’t stick to the bottom of the fries. Plus heating up all that empty space!

I thought that was the case with my gas oven, until I had a timer running one day and realized it was actually more like 10 minutes to get to 450.
