19 minute video on air fryers? I don't own an air fryer. I'm not in the market for an air fryer. I'm not very interested in air fryers.

technology connections

Fucks sake

For some reason I knew it was technology connections just by reading the title

The man spent like half an hour discussing light switches.

[-] tehmics@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

And I watched every second of it

I got an air fryer this year, and I definitively recommend it. It was cheap, I paid 350 reals (roughly 70 euros). In some cases the food is really similar to deep-fried food, but the biggest appeal of the device is as a small but powerful oven - specially for stuff like

  • chicken wings - they turn out wet but well cooked, with a crispy outside
  • reheating stale bread - pat it with a bit of water, then plop it in the air fryer.
  • frozen potato fries - as he mentions in the video they get damn great
  • milanesa - it doesn't get identical to deep-fried milanesa but it's really good, and way better than doing it in the oven.

If looking for a model make sure to get one with a detachable false bottom, otherwise you'll get the problem andrewta mentioned and won't be able to clean it right.

My dude... Get ready for some more great suggestions...

Reheating Pizza

Cooking salmon or any kind of fish really. Suggest panko breading

Same goes for pork chops. Go with the thick ones - they get wonderfully crispy but very juicy inside

BACON!!!

Roasted potatoes - make sure to cut them into larger chunks than you usually do

[-] lychee 8 points 3 days ago

Reheating greasy/fried foods alone makes these things worth it imo. Im no detractor of cold pizza but its just not necessary anymore, this shit is magic

[-] dadarobot@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 3 days ago

Agreed. Only way ive found to reheat fries from a restaurant. used to just leave them if i couldnt finish them.

We got take away a few weeks ago, and the fries were already soggy by the time we got home. Think i popped them in for like 3 mins or something and they were seemingly fresh again

[-] beeng@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 days ago

If I got an oven with grill and fan forced, do I really need an air-fryer?

I don't see an overwhelming reason to be honest.

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

You don't need it. You won't get the same end result with your setup, but if you don't feel like you're missing anything there's no reason to get one.

[-] beeng@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 days ago

So they're for... Small meals, fast(er)meals (frozen is still a quick meal), and ... those people without a normal oven?

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Well... kind of? I have a normal oven, but still appreciate my air fryer. The quality of breaded or fried foods is better than a normal oven, and I use less energy. The difference isn't big enough to make it a completely different thing, but it's there.

[-] iii@mander.xyz 13 points 3 days ago

Pff, it's just heating and stirring the air, not frying it.

[-] lvxferre@mander.xyz 12 points 3 days ago

Yup. And that's still damn useful.

That's the whole point of the video.

[-] iii@mander.xyz 5 points 3 days ago

The video doesn't explain how to fry air

[-] lvxferre@mander.xyz 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

...fuck, now I get what you meant! Sorry I kind of ruined your joke.

(I'm one of those primitives still taking raw air all the time. Just seasoned with a bit pollution, mmnh, tasty NOx)

[-] iii@mander.xyz 4 points 3 days ago

No worries. From the votes I gather only 1 to 2 got the joke.

[-] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

great. now I want a sunbeam radiant control toaster.

[-] simplejack@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

TIL the new “air fryer” version of my old convection toaster over is the same device, but with a basket accessory.

[-] andrewta@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Most of them are a pain in the ass to properly clean. My mom has a ninja air fryer. There is no way to remove the top grate. The grease builds up in it.

Dont they also fill all ur food with micro plastics?

[-] argarath@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

The components inside it are metal, plastic wouldn't be able to handle that heat so they are unable to add any plastics to your food

[-] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 days ago

It’s not microplastics that worry me. It’s heated plastics, which is why I don’t use plastics in the microwave or use non stick cookware. BTW, the fancy air fryer seems to be all metal, like the toaster ovens.

Also, why the downvotes to a reasonable question?

[-] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

Why downvotes? I think cos everyone is using it and they dont wanna have to confront the idea they fucking themselves.

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Because the comment itself is kind of useless. Do they fill food with microplastics?

[-] PlantJam@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Not that I'm aware of, no.
