    Air Dryer? Any you cunts got one?

    The entire premise stinks of bullshit to me, but someone on YouTube I vaguely follow uses one and as I'm a pseudoJock, I love my fried food. My partner less so, for smell and health reasons (even though I only use oil, beneath its smoke point).

    Anyway - any of you cunts use one? Thoughts, if so?

    They DO appear to work, but.. I just distrust kitchen gimmicks.

    • Air Fryer even? lol

      Not for ma bonce, likes.      Nairn
    • Nngh, only use 'olive' oil beneath its smoke point. Of course I use oil. Last time I used dripping it nearly ended up in divorce.Nairn
    • It's basically marketing speak for a small convection oven. There's no frying going on, rather convection baking on a smaller, more focused scale.duckseason
    • I have one but only use it for frozen fried stuff like hashbrowns and jalapeno poppers. There’s no magic, it’s just a rebranded convection ovenscarabin
    • Just make sure to “toss” whatever’s in the basket a couple times during cooking so it cooks evenly. A bigger unit is better so you have to do this lessscarabin
    • My folks didn't use their cheap one so they gave it to me. Thing cooks tater tots like a fucking boss, and does it pretty quickly. Roasts broccoli nicely too.BuddhaHat
    • Have it, use it constantly. Best bacon ever. Best fried chicken. Skin crisps up without a drop of oil. just uses the fat in the skin. Hashbrowns? hell yes.monNom
    • 'deepfried' brussels sprouts? so easy. just toss them in grapeseed oil with garlic and parmesan and salt, burn them to a crisp in the air fryer. So good.monNom
    • This is the one I got. It's great. I wouldn't go smaller than this. https://www.amazon.c…monNom
    • Thanks all - I'm pretty much only interested in one for what they can do to potatoes and chicken, lol.Nairn
    • It's a total gimmick, and they can't do anything to chicken or potatoes that even remotely approximates frying. Plus they're too small to be used for familiesmonospaced
    • It's funny how some people convince themselves their air fryer chicken is a good alternative to actual fried chicken. Obviously it's not.monospaced
