I don't have a fryer

I was thinking of getting an Air Fryer because its supposed to be healthier and I dont have to fuck around with changing oil

How are they, actually good, or just a meme?

They still use oil, only like 25% as much as a normal fryer though. You still need to buy and change oil in them.

Does it taste the same as deep fried?

Because if it doesn't it's shit.

OP, as others said air fryers are shittier and more expensive convection ovens. You can't really use them like a traditional fryer and "fry" things covered in raw batter.

Why do I get this feeling that your polsci professor gave you an F for trying to submit your bullshit thesis on "Airfryers for the nu-right wing".

[Anonymous No.9168177]

>>9168002
You can "air fry" raw battered foods. You do have to spray some oil on it I think. There's tons of YouTube vids with people doing exactly that. I'm agreeing with you otherwise, they're just shitty convection ovens. The word "air fryer" was produced for the ignorant. My wife was actually wanting one, but I convinced her otherwise.

Switching gears back on subject; let's say an anon used a deep fryer routinely but was sick of the mess that comes with using it. Given that an air fryer is about the same size and the same power use as a conventional electric deep fryer, would it be a decent alternative?

[Anonymous No.9170456]

>>9167116
I have one that I use for small bite size deep fryable snacks. It's basically a really small oven you can get up to max temp in 5 minutes, and makes it nice/crispy in another 5 minutes.

Don't need to add any oil, it's easy and fast.
But it's useless for fresh breadcumbed shit or obviously stuff you need to freshly batter.

tldr; it's good if you use it for 0 added oil quick baking snacks correctly.

I want to say this but I haven't tried an air fryer yet and like the idea of dumping them in a basket instead of neatly placing on a tray.

We have one and it's pretty easy to use. However without the oil, the chips themselves lose that bit of edge. Idk how to describe it but the oil makes the chips and the air dried ones just don't taste that good desu.

conservative are tried and true methods of cooking

like cast iron pans, grills, normal pots and pans, we've been using them for centuries and no one had any problems with them

liberal appliances are progressive, even though the old way was fine they gotta find new ways to change something that works for every special snowflakes

they include slap chop, air fryers, soda stream

[Anonymous No.9171678]

>>9171667
You're technically correct, but your bias is showing. What if there are good and delicious new ways of cooking out there that have yet to be discovered? Sure some of these things are pretty dumb and useless, but why stifle that creativity by shooting down every new thing that people come up with just because it's new and the old stuff works? That's the path that leads to stagnation.

Since no-one else is bothering to do anything other than squeeze out massive polshits everywhere:

Deep Frying
+
>makes everything delicious and crispy
>can do all kinds of random tasty shit with a huge pan of boiling fat
>doesn't care about age of potatoes
-
>makes everywhere smell
>storing liquid in the pan is shit (solids are okay tho)
>spilled oil is a fucking nightmare to clean out of cupboards
>have to wait for everything to cool before tidying
>have to regularly replace oil/fat to avoid strange tastes/smells
>sometimes the oil/fat you prefer is not available in the quantities you need to fill the pan
>tedious to clean

Air Frying
+
>no smells
>uses basically fuck all oil
>can be left while you fuck off and do something else
>doesn't use a hob ring so you have more space for other cookery fun
>cleaning is no harder than washing a dish out
>can use any kind of oil you like (and also solid fats, but you need to preheat those or run it for 5 mins to melt it)
-
>not any quicker than actual frying
>doesn't really crisp things all that well
>you have to go through an elaborate pantomime of towel drying things you put in b/c moisture will stop it cooking evenly
>you can't just throw any old spuds in there - old ones won't cook properly
>completely incapable of cooking sweet potatoes and similar 'hard roots'
>can't do things like doughnuts and wigan poached eggs

Fors and againsts for both.

They make very good fries and nuggets.

You don't need to use any oil and the product is fine. If you do use oil it's not wildly better so if you are concerned about the amount of oil just skip it. Although it's not a lot of oil so I wouldn't worry.

I own a different older model design that includes rotating paddle that moves the food about a non stick cooking vessel but it's the same idea.

Much much better than an oven for making fries.

It is not a convection oven. A convection oven has a fan to mix the air inside around to better exchange the heat with the dish or food. These blast the food with high heat high speed air in a much more rapid process.

Copying the SJWs seemed like a good idea to them: everything shall be political!

So now we're stuck with two groups of lunatics and there's at least one of them wherever you go. And they refuse to fight each other too, the pussies. They both prefer going after people that don't want to get involved, because they don't really fight back much.
