Quoted: I'm going to be buying a stove with an air fryer option From what I understand the air fryer option moves more air faster than the convection only option would. I apologize as I don't have a precise convention/air fryer CFM cutoff to offer to solve this complex discussion. Those wings look delicious though View Quote Convection ovens are fine if you’re cooking a big roast or cooking multiples at one time but it’s better for volume. Air fryer is better for smaller servings. Just two of us here so quick and perfect. |

I can't find the fan in my oven. How do I make my oven circulate air like an air fryer does?
I'd suspect the fan that circulates hot air around does something to food that just being inside a really hot box doesn't quite do the same. |

I've been thinking about this unit to save some countertop space, plus it has a few more functions that would be handy.

Love my air fryer. But, have a chuck roast that is going on 36 hours at 140 degrees...... Sous Vide.

Quoted: Subscribed. Mrs. vim won an air fryer at her office Christmas party. It is still in its box, and I'm not sure if it deserves space in the kitchen where it'll get used regularly, or if it's just this decade's fondue set and belongs on a storage shelf until called. View Quote Ill give you a perfect example why I use mine. Making the same exact wings at the exact same cooking temperature 400F. My oven, which is a convection oven, takes about 11 minutes to preheat to 400F and then takes 32-34 minutes to get my wings exactly how I like them cooked (from frozen). My air fryer is ready in 2 minutes and takes 21 minutes to cook the same wings to perfection. |

Quoted: Sunday wings 2 ways. Habenero Gold and Buffalo. The start: nice wings sectioned, hit with some Webber kickin chicken spices. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/325229/C7682389-958A-44CC-9690-58714DB392E3_jpe-1784193.JPG Throw in air frier for 16 min. Turn. Another 16 min. Heat homemade Habenero Gold jelly. Prepare buffalo sauce; equal parts butter and Frank’s redhot. Toss wings in sauce, serve with homemade blue cheese, carrots, celery. Pretty tasty Sunday night! https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/325229/79D621BD-C103-47FA-A496-92961770DA3A_jpe-1784194.JPG View Quote That's a long cook time for me. I'm usually eating 30 or so at a time so I use the LP fryer. |

The highest praise that can be bestowed upon an air fried meal is:
"This tastes almost as good as it would have if it had been deep fried" |
|
We use the crap out of ours.
It reheats pizza to almost original condition |

Read some thermodynamics textbooks.
The convection oven typically only can cook food directly through convection heat transfer. Some air fryers can cook food with direct radiation and convection heat transfer. Some foods with high emissivity really benefit from that radiation heat transfer. Really the biggest difference is clean up. Much easier to clean an air fryer than an oven. |

This is one of those topics that is just weirdly divisive...air fryers really seem to ruffle some feathers for some reason.
I love mine. I did battered fish in it for the first time yesterday, not perfect but with a little experimentation it'll get there. There is literally no better way to cook chicken thighs, which I eat a lot. |

Quoted: This. It fits stuff for one or two people. The baskets are really tiny. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: We bought one from Costco, tried a few things and took it back. Too fucking small for an actual family. Pain to clean the basket/gadgets. I do enough chicken for me and my two teenage sons. I have leftover battered fish from yesterday too. 3-4 is probably the max though. |

I'd suspect the fan that circulates hot air around does something to food that just being inside a really hot box doesn't quite do the same. View Quote Quite right! I actually have a regular gas oven with a "quick bake", which is just a fan. It does help with some dishes. The air fryer just works more quickly, by a massive amount. Less volume to hear, less mass to heat. The fan in my air fryer is nearly the same size as my regular oven. I believe the moving of hot air molecules mimics frying or boiling, because it increases the "mass" of air, increasing apparent heat transfer to the food, versus hot still air. Which is also where the air fryer works well, the air transfer rate versus internal volume is very high. |

I spray Pam or another cooking oil on the wings first, it really helps crisp up the skin.
380* Skin side up 10-12 minutes depending on the size. Skin side down 10-12 minutes depending on the size. 400* Skin side up for 5 minutes. They look deep fried when done and are more tender and jucy than deep fried wings. |

Quoted: Same here, doesn't really do the same thing as well, even with a basket. Takes longer and tends to dry stuff out. I think it's the volume/space. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes |

Did porkchops with this rub a week ago and they turned out great but I forgot the mustard.
Tonight I'm doing country ribs WITH the mustard. They should be great ! 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1 tablespoon paprika 1 ½ teaspoons salt 1 ½ teaspoons fresh ground black pepper 1 teaspoon ground mustard ½ teaspoon onion powder ¼ teaspoon garlic powder 1–2 tablespoons olive oil INSTRUCTIONS Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees for 5 minutes Rinse pork chops with cool water and pat dry completely with a paper towel. In a small bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients. Coat the pork chops with olive oil and rub in the mix. Rub it in well and liberally. Use almost all of the rub mix for the 2 pork chops. Cook pork chops in air fryer at 400 degrees for 12 minutes, flipping pork chops over after 6 minutes. |

Quoted: I’m not upset... I thought this is what GD and forums in general are for. Take a position and defend it. I’ve taken mine. Air fryers are good and useful. My taste buds confirm my position. Enjoy your full size convection oven for all things “baked”. View Quote I make fun of 1911s too. Doesn't mean I don't own some and shoot them from time to time. |

Dedicated air fryer owners - how do you clean yours?
Mine gets disgusting right quick with grease and oil. Right now my routine is pull the basket, spray with heavy duty "crud cutter", let it sit for several hours and then run through the dishwasher. Still looks like complete ass when it comes out, but cuts down most of the gunk. |
