Hate them all you want, but it takes a fraction of the space in my tiny kitchen, compared with a convection oven, and does the same job.
I don't think they deserve hate tbh
That's true. I own a frying pan and an oven.
Health benefits don't really concern me. I'm in no hurry to get anywhere so the time benefits do not apply to me. I never deep fry things. I think I'd sooner buy a rice cooker.
Sometimes you want to cook things at a different temperature which is where I find the air fryer comes in handy. Also for pretty small quantities the air fryer is essentially just a mini oven that heats up quickly.
If you have a massive kitchen with multiple ovens then sure the air fryer isn't overly necessary, but my kitchen is tiny and its the only realistic way to have multiple ovens - the air fryer has 2 compartments with a removable divider so I can use it as 1 small or 2 tiny ovens.
It has been said about so many appliances and tools, and it's hard to know what to believe some times, but air fryer is game changer!
Imagine your convection oven could heat up in two minutes or less. And no tray. No tray at all. Just toss it in then scoop it out. Game changer.
PS if you don't own a rice cooker what the fuck are you doing
How much counter space do you have? My rice cooker is already on top of another appliance.
If you're not cooking rice all the time it is just not worth it
I’ll give counterpoint
Isn't that all an airfryer is? A convection oven?
An air fryer is a convection oven. But not every convection oven is an air fryer.
honestly I can't remember what unfried air tastes like and I don't want to remember
