Comment on Anon buys an air fryer
areyouevenreal@lemm.ee 3 months agoI am a bit lost on what you can do with one that an oven can’t. I get they are slightly faster and more energy efficient, but functionally I thought they were basically the same. What am I missing?

Technical abilities aren’t all that different towards an oven but convenience is at least compared to my conventional oven
Airfryers are alot quicker. modern models dont even require preheating so there is much less need to plan ahead.
The results is also much crispier (from trying to simulate a fryer) so some stuff intended for oven actually tastes better from an airfryer, i find more and more boxes of fried stuff like chicken nuggets that are intended for air fryers that ovens used to struggle with. (At least subjective tastewise) there is one exception which is pizza, i am rather peculiar in how i like my pizza.
bonus is energy efficiency but admittedly the real major reason i and my household love it is the super low bar of a quick easy meal where before we defaulted much more to junk.
