Ditto; for me it's like a small, powerful, and flexible oven. Chicken wings, taters, spring rolls, sometimes I even use it as a dehydrator for my homemade spice mixes.
Yep, I was like you... up until I tried one.
Our kitchen is too small at the moment to get one, but it's definitely on our to-do list once we move.
Maybe a combo unit would suit? Replacing your microwave.

Interesting! But it's okay, we should move in a few month, and the microwave came with the place, it would be more of a hassle to store it somewhere.
Good to know! As I said, we should move in a few months, and the microwave came with the place, it would be more of a hassle to store it somewhere.
Not gonna lie, you all are getting more and more convincing. I'll discuss with my gf at some point, the main issue is that we really don't have that much space on our counter.
Ha ha ha
Not to shill, but we picked up a pretty well known brand combo pressure cooker/air fryer. I thought it was the stupidest thing ever, but I use it all the time, mostly when I don't want to heat up the house with an oven.
It lives on the counter directly next to my oven, doesn't take up a ton of space.
Would you have any reference to share?
Search Instant Pot Duo Crisp + Air Fryer. On the pricier end, but at least in our case it's used frequently enough to justify the cost. You basically get an air fryer, pressure cooker, crockpot, rice cooker, hot plate (well, bowl), etc. in one appliance.
Just don't put it on the stove when cooking a side dish on the burner, if you're the type to turn on the wrong burner. Only an idiot would do that. Ha ha ha...ha...
this is his second Instant Pot
Great thank you!
If you cook, they're not for you.
Air fryers have extraordinarily limited use and they are for novice people who want to reheat food, not cook, just saying
Really not true. Any time you would use the oven you can use the air fryer... It's just an oven with convection by default
Sounds perfect, I'm exactly a novice who wants to reheat food
That's great and I hope it helps you begin your journey on cooking.
I'm glad you acknowledge that they are toys.
My advice that you didn't ask for would be just to skip it and learn how to cook because once you learn how to cook you just throw the air fryer in the garbage.
Mine has been up in my closet for 2 years I just see no need to use it.
Interesting. The thing, is kind of know how to cook, at least at a basic level. I just work from home and try to make healthy but quick food every day. I also don't enjoy spend too much time cooking, so that's what I think an air fryer could work.
Maybe you should sell you air fryer? They seem quite trendy nowadays.
