Deep fat fryers are fairly easy to use though. Also quite quick. They don’t need cleaning with every use (maybe every 5 or 6 uses). What they aren’t good for is having a clean kitchen. Creates steam, oil splatter, and they smell when in use. Can be a complete bitch to clean too, especially depending on the design. Even the easy to clean ones eat soap as the waste and dirt is oil saturated.

Agreed on all of these points.
The major difference in effort is to carry the smelly deepfryer to the garage because no way would we keep that on the counter top and cramped storage tiny kitchen.
While the air fryer has can easily live on the counter’s top especially with all the extra stuff it can do. (The Easiest soft Boiled eggs ftw) we keep it right next to the equally life saving expansive rice coocker. Workspace is a plank on the stove, who needs pans and pots? (Exaggeration)

Ok I love my air fryer but I do not understand the love for rice cookers. It’s just so easy to cook rice already. The hard and annoying part is washing the rice

The difference is the cooker consistently makes better rice then anyone i know, we imported it from Asia and holy fuck have they perfected the science of rice cooking.

If you actually cared about space you wouldn’t have an air fryer and a rice cooker. You would use a convection oven and a pan respectively. Also how is it any easier to do boiled eggs? Surely the hardest part is peeling it. Rice cookers I can see being useful because they avoid cleaning pans with rice stuck to the bottom all the time.

Each their own executive dysfunction i guess,
I do care a lot about space but i cant hold a job and cook a semi healthy meal everyday. So i barely used the space and just ate junk food and takeaway. Sacrificing the space for these devices means a decent meal can be optained with no more then 5 min of prep and wasting for a “ding”, no concentration required.
On some days just dealing with finding the right pan or pot and remembering that oh shit i have sm on the fire is believe it or not a challenge for me personally.
For boilder eggs i just trow em in the air fryer for 6min and there consistently perfect.
Once their on my plate most of my personal executive dysfunction disappears, i never struggled opening eggs up.

Yes, it’s good to cook rice in a, [checks notes], pan.

If your gonna list the pros of a deep fryer, list the main con- smells like grease all the time

There would probably also be some health complications if you deep fry half as much food as I air fry/toaster oven.

My god, I’d be huger than I am now

I said they smell when in use. If you’re not using it it has a lid on, so you don’t really smell it. Unless you just don’t put the lid on…

I meant they smell when not in use, lid or not 🤷♂️

When my mom had a deep fryer, she made us put the used oil back in a bottle and clean the fryer after every use. She just went back to using a pot after few times because it was less hassle.
