"The downside is that the mug is also 180°C now."

"And it tastes faintly of the bacon I made for breakfast."

[-] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago

Nah see they've got one of those fancy dual air dryers in the picture. One side is clearly for food and the other for beverages.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 13 points 10 months ago

Yeah but you're not supposed to put the cup in with it. You pull the tray out and pour it into one.

How is that a downside?

[-] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 100 points 10 months ago

Somebody had been considering what could be worse than microwave tea.

[-] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 47 points 10 months ago

There's nothing wrong with microwaving water. It's all just getting water molecules to move faster.

[-] nul9o9@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

Thats how I make my teas. Boil it in a glass measuring cup, then pour it into a mug with the tea.

TechnologyConnections made a video about it.

[-] BangelaQuirkel@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

How do you measure glass in a cup?

Americans will do anything other than buy an electric kettle.

[-] Vespair@lemm.ee 22 points 10 months ago

Americans who drink hot tea have them (source: have had one for like 20 years).

Americans in general are just more hot coffee cold tea people. Exceptions abound of course, but in generalities.

[-] daggermoon@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

I drink hot tea and cold coffee lol. I also drink hot coffee though.

[-] Vespair@lemm.ee 15 points 10 months ago

We have replaced your American passport with Vietnamese to better accommodate your beverage preferences, please enjoy your new citizenship.

There is literally a kettle on the left lower side of the image (likely deliberately as it seems awkward having it in front of the air fryer like that)

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

in my experience, it is quite hard to find a place for a kettle that isn’t at least a little awkward

[-] DNU@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

this. they are always in the way and fit nowhere.

OOP uses centigrade and spells color as "colour"; they're probably not American.

I've heard electric kettles are slower here because of the limits of our electrical system. I do have a kettle for the stove, though. I also rarely drink tea.

[-] dan@upvote.au 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Standard outlets in the USA are 120v at 15A (1800W max peak, 1440W max continuous). In comparison, standard UK outlets are 230v at 13A (2990W peak)

This also affects other things. For example, standard electric heaters (resistive heat) can't get as hot in the USA.

Edit: Also, dryers in countries like UK and Australia don't need a special type of outlet.

Okay this is a shitpost, but ffs don't try this. That's a small electric fan-forced oven. There's a nonzero chance the airflow will splash water all over the inside, which is absolutely not liquid proof. Water + electricity == bad.

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

I see your point. But how the hell is the mug not going to be hot either and you are able to just lift it out?

[-] Strayce@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 10 months ago

I mean that's true too, assuming you don't destroy your air fryer first.

[-] MadBob@feddit.nl 11 points 10 months ago

Are you sure about the waterproofing? You can usually steam in an oven.

[-] perviouslyiner@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Got an air fryer here with a steamer mode, so that definitely doesn't have moisture-sensitive electronics inside the cooking part!

Really though, so many Americans would have their cooking lives enriched by an electric kettle.

[-] ATDA@lemmy.world 23 points 10 months ago

My parents told me, "be careful the heating elements catch fire, there's little to no safety mechanism, you can't leave them alone!"

It's a kettle...

People either don't know they exist or have some weird thing with them. Gives me the same vibes as cultures that don't sleep with the fans on lol.

10 minutes to boil a cup of water? How is that considered good in any way?

[-] GhiLA@sh.itjust.works 53 points 10 months ago

it's sarcasm.

Air fryers suck at boiling water. They're basically anti-microwaves. Everything a microwave is good at, they suck at, and vice versa.

[-] Toneswirly@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Thats why I got a Convection Microwave. Best of both worlds!

[-] GhiLA@sh.itjust.works 11 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I put microwavable things in my microwave halfway, then in my air fryer to finish.

Perfect for little pot pies. Gets the top crispy.

[-] ilovededyoupiggy@sh.itjust.works 22 points 10 months ago

How do you close the door and start it if you only put the food in halfway?

[-] jcg@halubilo.social 12 points 10 months ago

Oh I don't close the door, I just jam something in the little hole the door goes into and start it

Pretty sure that counts as a hate crime against the English

[-] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 15 points 10 months ago

I played a game online with a British person and another American. British guy was talking about tea time or something tea related. I have always heard that the British took their tea VERY seriously, so I decided to test it. I asked him if he heated his water in a microwave. Don't ask the British if they heat their water in a microwave. What followed was a man who was very passionate about tea talk just as passionately about his kettle.

Good, they deserve it.

[-] toddestan@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago

Boiling a mug of water by blowing hot air on it is going to take a while. My guess is if someone was to try this (which I don't recommend) it's going to take longer than 10-12 minutes.

[-] abbiistabbii 19 points 10 months ago

You have just united the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom blind rage. Congratulations.

[-] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

This is 100% a meme. There's a kettle in the lower left corner of the picture, place awkwardly in front of the second frier drawer. and the cup would be scaldingly hot upon removing it from the air frier.

Shout out to Asian water boilers and warmers.
