The first night I owned an air fryer, I tossed in some shitty frozen tater tots that had been in my freezer for way too long, and they came out so delightfully crispy that I cooked two more servings.
I realized immediately that this would be a problem. It's a bit too easy to make delicious stuff that's pretty bad for me. I nearly made myself sick of wings within like 2 weeks. That was a close one. Fuckin love wings.
We can fry shit with the air, so nice
airfrier
The appliance that mostly everybody already had under another name (at least in Europe). An then they renamed it as another thing and everyone bought one. The marketing worked.
Not it’s not and I’m tired of the nerds screeching.
A Ferrari is very different from a Honda.
Air friers have a much lower total volume while moving a much higher volume of air. The effect is far more pronounced and cook times are halved.
I think its the small volume that makes it worth it (faster to heat up, efficient) so I can see why people would buy one.
I personally don't have one because I don't exactly value my time. I throw my food in the cold oven and set it to whatever and check back later. I don't have any motivation what so ever to care about pre heating or having my food ready 10 minutes earlier.
Most countries have ovens
Umluftofen!
They're literally small convection ovens rebranded. They're not magic.
Look up how microwaves work. Those are way, way fucking cooler. The way they generate the microwaves is cool as hell.
Things don't need to be revolutionary to be life changing. Could I have used the convection oven for this one slice of pizza? Sure. Would I ever? Hell no.
But yeah, microwaves really are neat. We're going to fling these electrons around in these very specific magnetic fields and out pops light you can't see.
They're closer to impingement ovens than convection ovens.
Convection ovens (or "fan forced ovens" in some countries) use a fan to gently and evenly circulate the hot air, whereas impingement ovens and air fryers use higher velocity fans to blow the heat directly onto the food.
So it's an overkill blowdrier, got it.
god just shit on everything why don’t you
Alright but hang on, let me preheat the oven first
Just saying it's not new or miraculous technology 🤷🏼 it's just a clever and convenient consumer product.
The better we can differentiate consumer trends and marketing from actual technological innovation, the better off we'll be. cough AI cough
you know what would be a lot cooler? same thing not needing electricity (concentrated solar can get hot enough and heat can be stored in hot oil)
But it wasn't sunny today and I wanted fries and don't have space to store hot oil :(
skill issue
For a rain enjoyer, you sure like spreading pro sun propaganda
There would be no rain without sun
skill issue
Just power it using solar panels?
concentrated solar heating gets you there using 1/4 of that space and allows for simple energy storage
"simple" storage of burning hot oil mmhm
yeah you put it in a barrel, pump hotter oil through coiled pipe, hot (storage) oil floats to top, when you draw heat through another coiled pipe cold oil falls to bottom. just put mineral wool around it. much cheaper than batteries
solar water heaters work the same way except they use water
So now to cook something I need:
I'll take the solar panels which I already have wiring for, are useful when there's a surplus (because I can sell the electricity) and which also power my computer. Not that I have panels at the moment.
One of my best investments in the last few years.
I've never tried an air fryer. I don't have the counter space for one and am concerned I'd eat more unhealthly more often if I owned one but it's possible that's not true.
Nah we cook fish in ours.
Losing weight is easier (less oil) and cooking times are faster.
It’s just a more compressed oven. You can eat healthy or unhealthy with it
Breaded fish or grilled fish?
Can it toast bread?
affordable housing and healthcare
Best I can give you is corporate pittance for menial labour.
My grandma could do that already.
Healthcare
We're air frying the world too
Airfryers make me feel old because I don't know how to use one.
It's just an oven optimised for airflow.
Even fan-forced, a normal oven recirculates the same air around, which carries moisture evaporated from whatever you're cooking.
Air Fryer is just a much smaller oven, with a similar sized element and a bigger fan, that also has an exhaust, so moisture-laden air is expelled from the unit and the air hitting the food is always hot and dry.
But all-in-all it's just a type of oven and you can absolutely use one as a regular little oven or if you crack the door a little and turn the heat up a bit, you can use regular fan-forced oven as an 'air fryer'
I used to hate air-fryers. “They still need some oil, it’s not really FRYING ANYTHING WITH THE AIR”.
My parents got me one for Christmas and I didn’t show it, but I was livid. I do t need this shit.
Then I realized it’s just a small oven. And now I love my small, really quick heating, slightly less easy to clean oven that can make passable fries.
Use it like a regular oven but reduce temperature by 25°F or 15°C and reduce cooking time by 20%.
Turn dial to set temperature
Turn another dial to set time
Also, check out the size of that absolute fucking loomster in the back of the basket.
If they can make a crinkle-cut fry like that, anything is possible. If this is what we get, imagine what the military has!
Potato Fries, Crinkle-Cut, M2
Frying with air = baking.
Baking is letting the food sit in hot air for a while. Air frying is blowing the heat directly onto the food. They also vent the air to release excess steam and moisture, which is why air fried things are crisper.
You mean like the convection oven I use for baking?
I want to gather the boys with the Normandy and get hammered on Tuchanka. Did I ask for too much?
Take your hot air machine and shove it up your ass.
