I was thinking about buying one, but not sure if it’ll just be wasting counter space. I heard they’re the same thing as an convection oven. Some people say they’re better. [Reply]
I have an air fryer and don't really use it enough to justify the space it takes up. I should probably look up some recipes to get inspired to use it more.
I do use it for smoked chicken wings though. I smoke the wings then use the airfryer to crisp them up. Best thing I've found for it though. [Reply]
Yeah I don’t really know about the air fryer. I have used this one we have a few times, seems like it depends on what’s being cooked inside the thing. I wanted to excited about it but my excitement fizzled quickly [Reply]

I had one, and it worked great when we used it. We didn't use it very often, and it does take up a ton of room. Like someone else said, it often depends on what you're cooking. Things that were meant to be fried, are frozen and intended to be fried, etc., work well for the most part. Like it does frozen french fries very well, but frozen okra sucks ass. Basically if it was par cooked, it'll work really well. Things like wings and meats tend to cook well, but it for me took some trial and error figuring out times and temps. There are quite a few online resources that can help with that. It reheats most anything quite well. They tend to be pricey and they do take up a lot of room, so keep that in mind.
Ours died recently, or so we thought. We didn't realize until after we thrown the fucker away that what actually happened was a GFI outlet halfway across the kitchen tripped. We didn't buy another, if that helps you out at all. [Reply]
I use my air fryer to cook my kid food more than anything. Does great for nuggets and fries and similar items. Bought a huge box of mozz sticks at Costco and it was great for those. You're basically gonna use it for children and junk food.
Mine was a gift and I use it often enough with a toddler that it justifies the counter space. [Reply]

7.5/10 stars. Well done.
Thanks I usually don't try too hard with the presentation, honestly. I used to when I had my good camera out all the time, but with the phone I just don't really care very much. More interested in eating. And indoor lighting sucks.
