Current Events > Anyone got an Air Fryer? How is it?

(+) Yeah! (+)

What brand and price range do you recommend?

Thinking of getting one for Black Friday or something.

I use haier brand. I pay around 40 dollar.

It good. Been using it for 2 year.

I got a NuWave air fryer. It was $70 but it wasn't on sale. Thing is awesome tho, I use it everyday for everything.

Steak comes out amazing!

How about fries?

@CrazyandLazy I put on 200c for 15 or 20 minutes

Don't get one if you have pet birds.

No, seriously. The non-stick coating on them releases vapors that can kill birds very quickly when heated. (This is true for a lot of cookware, but air fryers are particularly prone to it.)

Probably pretty bad for humans too, but eh, that's an "only harming yourself" situation so no problem if you don't care about that.

I just got one yesterday, haven't used it yet. Will check in when I do.

I meant the taste.@aki_sora

@CrazyandLazy I put little salt and pepper. It tastes good to me.

Well I used it tonight, bought some frozen "Checkers" french fries from the grocery store and gave it a test run.

Although the cook overall is slightly inconsistent, for the most part the fries were crispy and damn good without having to drown them in boiling oil. Much better than using a cookie sheet and baking them in the oven. My first experience, it was well worth the purchase so far. Gonna try some chicken egg rolls tomorrow and see how it goes.

If you didn't, pull the tray at about the halfway point and make sure they get a good shake. Apart from the odd unlucky chip that ends up back in the same position it started you get them all cooked evenly.
