Current Events > Question for those who have an air fryer

(+) Yeah! (+)

What kind do you have ? Do you like it and would you say it's worth the price?
---

I don't have it in reach right now, but I've got one that's got like 5 settings. Air fry, broil, bake, etc. etc.

It's incredible, it was about $120, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. It cooks everything I could ever want. Perfectly. Every time.

---

The kind that goes in the trash. It's just a harder to clean oven that preheats faster.

---

Cosori and it's well worth the price. I love making french toast and donuts in mine.

Ninja FD401 Foodi 8-Quart 9-in-1 Deluxe XL Pressure Cooker, Broil, Dehydrate, Slow Cook, Air Fryer, and More, with a Stainless Finish

Got it on sale for $150. It's like $250 now but I think I'd still spend that much for it. It's awesome

A Philips black fryer and it's worth its weight in gold. You just have to clean it after, but it can air fry chicken, meat, seafood, fries, it's basically a mini oven

Cleaning isnt that hard. Wouldnt go back. We use it to make so many things rather than the over now.

I have a ninja air fryer and it's freaking awesome. I'm not sure what the model number is at the moment. It's very easy to clean.

Ninja foodi or insta pot. Dont look back. Trust me, you will need the non air fryer features as well

I have a Vortex Plus and it I choose it because it is very easy to clean.

---

I have power XL . And YES

If you get one , get the one that has basket. I have asked people and the ones that look like ovens don't do as well. I like it because I don't have to change the oil in my deep drier as much. I cook everything in there but fries. I can do tacos in 8 mins flat. I can do chicken wings in 20 mins for whole basket. THEY ARE GREAT.

Silly TC, you can't fry air.

I don't get the "harder to clean" part, remove the basket from the main tray, put both in the dishwasher.

I have a Cosori 8 quart and a Ninja twin basket, I use them both frequently and like them more than I anticipated. It's great for a lot of things, I eat a ton of fish and it cook fliets evenly and fast.

All I can say though is cut recipe times in half compared to the book it comes with, in my experience, following those directions gets your burned food. If it tells you 12 minutes on 400 for french fries, do 7 minutes on 350 and check on them, see if they need another minute or two. It baffles me how off a lot of the recipes are on times, it's more a trial and error, and keep an eye on it. It's a simple pull of the basket, put it back in and it reaches proper temp again in like 30 seconds.

Sorry I ask you so many damn questions, but how long do you cook your fish. I got this outcome once and could never get it again .

The first one I bought for myself was a bit difficult to clean. The tray had a mechanism where you can shake the contents without opening it, but it had 3 screws that you needed to remove to separate the part that shakes from bottom piece in order to fully clean it.

The one I have now is super simple, though. It just has 2 parts you take out without having to unscrew anything and you clean them.

If it's a half inch thick filet like catfish or tilapia, 6 to 7 minutes on 375.

If it's thicker like salmon and closer to an inch, I go about 9 to 10 minutes on 375. No need to flip imo.

Yeah that's how both of mine are, the basket tray pulls out all the way and you just push a button to get the grated tray out.

i got gifted a phillips one. its a game changer. deep frying was always a hassle and waste of oil.

Have you lost weight with it. People talk about losing weight using it. I have not.

Spoilers: Air fryers are just tiny convection ovens

air frying fries is still unhealthy and fatty. just a bit less so compared to deep frying because its not also soaked in oil. its not something that will help you lose weight.

I have a real oven.
