Air Fryer...

[Cray Paper]

I know some on here have tried them, but dam, these things really work well. My mom gave me one for Christmas, I didnt think much of it but my oldest son was like "bad ass!". After oggling his gifts from me he asked if he could use the air fryer. I said sure, just wash it first. He made french fries in less than 10 minutes that were perfect, then he put some breaded chicken strips in then some chicken wings. It took much less time to bake than an oven and were done on all sides.

If you are on the fence on buying one, do it. Supposedly you can cook chicken breasts, pork chops and even steak in it. Not going to try steak but am going to try some wild rice stuffed pork chops this weekend.

Anyone else have one? Any go to quick recipes?

Used ours tonight for first time. 2 breaded chicken boobies in 15 minutes.
Easy clean up.

 

[n2otoofast4u]

Never heard of these. Pics or recipes?

We just got one! Did breakfast potatoes that turned out perfect . Chicken breasts were on point , as were chicken wings. Got to ahead of ourselves and did 2 ribeyes, they weren't bad they just weren't awesome

 

[Rondog4405]

Been wanting one. Theres a few good youtube channels that use them alot. Getting one soon

Ours is about the size of large crockpot. Uses hot air to cook. I'd say its pretty much a mini convection oven.

My wife won't let me have one. I told her how good it makes tater tots and all I get is a big NO.

have you tried a different wife?

 

[Flying_Lavey]

I love ours! The best way to make taquitos and a great way to make a couple quick perfect hot dogs too.

Wife has one. They are okay. I get the convience and quick cooking time but no way in hell they compare to real fried food.

I am on the 2nd one already this is the last and best one.

 

[02HoWaRd26]

We just got one and have three runs on it, it’s damned cool so far tho can’t wait till she’s broke in and i can really test her out for some serious foods

If I had a woman show disrespect for tater tots...A hole would be dug in the backyard. There is no need for that sort of negativity

We just got one, my wife actually put a tri tip in it last night just to try it. Cooked it perfectly, tender and evenly. The only issue was it was a little drier than when we do them in the regular oven, but we didn't do much prep to it so that might be the difference. Super easy though, and yes basically a convection oven when used like that

I’ve been in the fence about one for a long time.

The only thing we've cooked in our air fryer so far is french fries, they came out pretty tasty. The only drawback I see in these fryers, it's not going to help anyone on the 2019 RDP Weight Loss Challenge...

So.....Sounds like one of these would be perfect for my son. Where do you get these at and which one to buy? He has three boys that are always on the run. Might just get him a late Xmas gift.

That's the point, eliminate the fried food aspect. The healthier alternative.

How the hell did you end up in the fence? Need any help getting out?

 

[port austin pirate]

Got the wife a Philips a little higher priced than some, works well uses it all the time, get one well worth it

I have one and not so sure about it. I call it the millennial cooker.

I cook a lot, so I tried a chicken in this thing using the supplied cook book and came out raw after an hour. Never had a raw chicken in the oven before. Tried another a few days later and it worked still takes the same time to cook, I also don’t like the fact that you need to flip the bird during the cooking time.

If you are frozen food cooker. Yes it does fries and tots good, even the kids chicken dino’s.

It’s to big just to use to cook frozen food. I’ll stick to using the oven and grill.

My son got us the same....probably won it at his work Christmas party

You cook a tri tip in the oven...WTF?!?!?!?!

 

[Bigbore500r]

Wrapped in foil - 17 minutes at 500 degrees, then shut oven off and let it sit inside for another 20. Pull it out, let it sit for 10 minutes in foil. Then unwrap and slice

 

[ChevelleSB406]

I’ve been rocking one for over a year. I love it. Best benefit is in the summer it doesn’t heat up the house like the oven does, frozen shit is a no brained, baked potatoes turn out great. Quick too, especially since you don’t need for it to come up to temp.

The ninja foodie is in our future. My wife bought the largest air fryer she could get we use the pressure cooker quite a bit also. The ninja foodie is both air fryer and pressure cooker.

I want to get one of those too. The wife wants a pressure cooker but I like having the 2 in 1 deal.

I have to eat gluten free due to an allergy...yeah, I know I am gay. Lol

I have been craving fried chicken for a while...KFC really. First run with an air fryer, was really good, just need to tweak the recipe and cooking for the next round.

We did chicken wings tonight and they turned out awesome.

If you need any recipes, shoot me a PM. My wife has been cooking GF for over 12 years. She is a killer cook, and no one ever knows the difference when they eat at our house. Chocolate cake, pasta, bread...we don’t eat a lot of it, but if I get a craving, she/we dial it up.

 

[endobear]

My twins have celiac. We have most of the things we/I love dialed in.
Still cant figure out a good biscuit and gravy solution though...

I’m also celiac, and this is a tough one.
Ramen (restaurant kind, not the $0.19 kind) is another.

I did make some bomb chicken and dumplings tho[emoji106]

Lots of things in my life have changed since this post and the cheap air fryer is on the wife's "it's got Teflon flaking and needs to go" list. It was cheaply built but did the job. Looking to upgrade to something well made and easy to use for a 2 - 4 person family. Needs to fit in a cabinet when not in use, any suggestions??

 

[Ace in the Hole]

We have the one from Insta pot… I wasn’t a fan of these things at first, but damn it is the best way to make chicken wings.

 

[Boatymcboatface]

Whatever model they have on sale at Costco if you don’t like it take it back.


We’ve got two different ones from Costco and both work great ones in the motorhome and the other in the house.

 

[TBulger]

My wife has two, won’t use them, oh well.
