/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I bake my breakfast rolls in it, very comfy and quick.

>>15614597
They pay for themselves with how little oil you have to use.

>take a convection oven
>Make it smaller
Wow, I really revolutionised cooking

>>15614562
How is this different from an oven?

>>15614873
It's the same thing but you can fit a pizza in an oven

>>15614866
Yes.

>>15614873
an oven takes longer to preheat than this takes to cook the meal

>>15615004
Shh, the retards want to spend 3+ hours making their meal while it takes us 20 minutes.

>>15614866
Based

>>15615017
>3 hours
It takes like 10 minutes to heat up an oven

>>15615058
And that's how long it takes to cook something in an air fryer. Thanks.

>>15614873

you can't lift an oven with one hand

>>15614562
More like revolutionises turkey frying, heh

>>15615075
Right, with the taste and texture being way shittier. If I only cared about time I'd just microwave everything

>>15614562
Ah yes the conduction oven, thought it was already invented tho

Frying air is based indeed

>>15614866
Sounds like a solid idea

>>15615162
t. Only ever seen an airfryer on Youtube

>>15614600

Stop eating PUFA

>>15614562
Only if you're a poorfag

>>15614562
I was at my parents the other day and came across this microwave oven cookbook from 1982. In this book were recipies for things that nobody today would dare make in a microwave, such as making soup from scratch, roasting meats, browning beef, making desserts. All of this got me thinking that really the only use of the microwave for the average person in today's world is either reheating leftovers, or making a pre-packaged instant meal. I see in the next 10-20 years air fryers becoming a standard thing that the average kitchen owns, but its use become delegated to simply reheating food or cooking frozen pre-fried food like fries or chicken (which honestly is the only thing I would use it over an oven for)

>>15614562
I got one and it's definitely convenient. I'm not up-to-date on cooking tech at all but it's electric, needs almost no oil and you can just set it up and leave, maybe check on it a couple of times throughout.
I wouldn't call it revolutionary but it's a great gadget convenient for the modern man who has like less than 5 free hours and doesn't want to spend any of it on silent work at home.
You gotta be fuckin' careful with fish though.

>>15614873
The smaller space allows the heat and convection to cook your food faster and more crisp.
It’s by no means an essential kitchen gadget but it is nice for making nuggies and bacon and other shit.
It also cleans really easy which is a plus.
Mine has a rotisserie on it so I like to make cornish hens and stuff which taste fantastic

>>15614873
It's just a small convection oven. Heats up way faster to 400F than a full-size conventional oven, but the tradeoff is that you can't fit big things in it. Hands down my air fryer is my favorite way to roast vegetables, make oven fries, cook breaded items, reheat frozen food, reheat leftovers, cook sausage links, and more.

>>15615246
It takes a ton of oil to fry things

Does anyone know if you can fit frozen pizza in it? If so, it might be worth a buy

>>15614562
do you know what an air fryer is?

it's a tiny retarded convection oven that jews have sold to you at an inflated price because you're such a cooklet that you are both unaware and impressed with how a convection oven cooks food

>>15617933
>60 dollars
>inflated price

>>15617944
yep thats inflated by about 175%

>>15614873
The air goes faster in an air fryer so the heat transfer is more efficient, thus making your food heat up superficially must faster than in a traditional oven. The result is more crispiness, faster

>>15617958
I hope you're this against people who own microwaves too, seeing as how they're 4-6x the price and even less functionality.

>>15614562
Turkey, heh

>>15618026
well, not only do I not own a microwave, but I am also fully aware that you can buy a microwave for 25 bucks.

>>15614873
It's significantly faster and crispd the food well, but sucks shit as internal heating temperatures

>>15618033
Can you cook raw chicken or steak in it?

>>15617933
I own both a standard convection toaster oven and an air fryer, and I use the air fryer a lot more. The fryer is incredibly convenient for shit like fries that are a nightmare to cook in a normal oven.

>>15618047
can I cook stuff in a microwave I don't own? i don't think so, sorry.

>>15618047
Not him but I cook raw fish in my microwave frequently; microwaved fish is actually incredibly good.

>>15618055
You're replying to someone who can't afford a microwave. Just letting you know.

>>15618055
>shit like fries that are a nightmare to cook in a normal oven.
literally just cook them in convection mode.

>>15614562
I love this thing but I don't really get why people act like it's some invention-of-the-century

>>15614562
i had a phase where i tried cooking anything in this machine that isn't too wet or would make a mess - Eggplant worked very well

>>15618055
I also own a convection oven and an air fryer and guess what...

there isn't a fucking difference you fucking mongoloid just what the fuck do you think is happening inside your meme shelf oven that isn't happening in a convection oven? the answer: nothing.

>>15614866
So if I take a conventional oven and make it smaller and portable that doesn't revolutionize cooking at all?

>>15615162
Have you ever used an air fryer? Its perfectly fine. The only reason you get upset is because you have a knee jerk reaction to anything that seems like a normie trend

>makes your airfryer 5x better

I actually don't get why
>1) Air fryers suddenly surged in popularity for no reason?
>2) They weren't popular before when I've heard about them for actually decades already
What the fuck happened? I mean it works, why did no one use them? Am I becoming a normie or something? Am I going to end up reading People magazine and watching home makeover tip videos?

>>15615246
I'll eat if I want to and don't call me a PUFTA!

>>15614866
sounds pretty based to me. an airfryer is all you need for some tendies and fries. no need for a big useless oven

>>15615236
there is no way a pizza made in an airfryer is gonna be as good as a pizza made in an oven. same goes for lasagne, or a Sunday roast.

>>15618343
Pizza comes out way better because of the small chamber and the air being blown at the pizza HARD. In effect you get a much better heat transfer than your normal oven. Lasagna cooks excellently, because again the air is blowing around the whole dish, and most of that hits from the top, making an excellent crust. A roast comes out well too, though you can probably improve it with a cast iron pan.

>>15618343
retard

>>15618343
I cook some AMAZING pork tenderloins or chops in my air fryer. I can cook two 1 inch (2.5cm) pork chops in 11 minutes.

>>15615104
youre just weak

What should I buy to make french fries and hash browns?

>>15614562
*revolutionizes turkey heh-ing*

>>15618343
Thanks for proving my point.
Back to YouTube buddy

>>15619275
An air fryer.

>>15618230
Toaster ovens aren't even close to new technology, and convection toaster ovens aren't either. "Air Fryers" are just marketing spin for (an admittedly useful) a product that is most likely older than you are.

Any of you have a suggestion for an air fryer? My mom's asked about getting one a couple of times over the past few months.

>>15614562
wow we can really bake fries now?

>>15615367
My Polish whore does this too. I call it Polish cooking.

>>15617958
>what is a supply chain

Imagine being this fucking stupid

>>15614562
nu-wave for nu-males

>>15618230
not really unless you eat frozen fries every day I guess

Boys I just bought a new oven with convection and induction plates, but everyone is shilling airfryers. Should I get one as well?

>>15614562
I cook steak in this. 6 on one side and 5 on the other at 380. Easy peasy.

>>15615137
>>15618028
>>15619298
heh

>>15621041
i dont get it.

>>15619532
>"Air Fryers" are just marketing spin for (an admittedly useful) a product that is most likely older than you are.

you're so annoying honestly. the food out of the air fryer will always taste superior to a microwave or toaster oven, and it uses less electricity and space compared to a big oven.

This is like the fidget spinner from the 2016s if I'm not mistaken.
Garbage that received mediatic attention, it only lasted one year though.

>>15620686
it's just a smol oven that uses less energy and takes less time. idk, do you want to make small oven-baked meals regularly?

air fryers and rice cookers trigger this board so hard and it will never not be funny.

t. zojchad

>>15622715
I love my rice cooker, it's been a game changer for me in how to cook rice.

>>15615246
I use coconut oil.

fryer chads unite

The morons have bought the tiny convection oven

>>15622715
A rice cooker gets results you can't get otherwise
An airfryer just cooks stuff badly without needing to wait ten minutes

>he didn't replace his microwave with a chad air fryer

>>15615246
Certain oils are extremely low pufa

>>15615348
lowest price for quality airfryers are usually $70

>>15625505
>1 new ps5 game
That's cheap.

>>15625709
fuckin yikes, you gotta be 18+ to post here faggot. take a hike

>>15627255

>70 dollars is expensive
Take your own advice.

>>15618062
that sounds disgusting you fucking troglodyte

>>15618230
portable?
where the fuck are you taking it?

>>15627549
the projection is strong

>>15618230
>portable
lmao what

>>15622233
You can get mini benchtop ovens, I used to own one. I agree that conventional ovens are too big and waste too much power for day to day cooking

>>15627588
you are just using this term without knowing what it means
I would be projecting if I made the claim that I can't wait for 10 minutes while making fun of others that can't wait 10 minutes
I can wait the 10 minutes
I'm not buzy in the slightest
Learn the terminology before embarrasing yourself, it would be best for you to delete this post you made to avoid further humiliation

>>15627594
obviously im implying your the one who spends bis day watching 2 seasons of tv, which is why you presume others do so as well.
That out of the way, you are a an absolute retard.
Even if i was wrong in saying you are projecting (which im not), that would not mean I dont know the meaning of the term projecting.
take your meds and go back to plebbit.

>>15627627
I'm not the guy you were speaking to before spastic, just saying you can get a mini benchtop oven to save on power and space that isn't this meme shit

>>15627642
what the fuck are you talking about? are you actually mentally ill?
>>15627588 this is my first post in this thread.
>>15627610
this is the response, clearly stating that its the user I responded to.
my second post >>15627627 is exclusively about these two posts:
>>15627549
>>15627610
I dont know which person you claim not to be, but you are definitely retarded.

>>15627663
you have made something here that will take 10 nasa scientists to figure out
great fucking job

>>15614600
>how little oil
Wait... What? Do you have to use oil?

>>15627663
take your meds

>>15627673
Only if you want to make it crispier or ensure it won't stick

>>15627703
https://youtu.be/69EI8q3DwWM

Remember when anon tried to argue that the function of this machine is so fundamentally different that it's in fact the AIR and NOT OIL that does the frying in these things?
good times

>>15627723
Okay retard.

>>15627675
thanks for conceding retard

>>15627663
after half an hour of researching your autistic post i have come to the conclusion that you are right, the other anon is a retard. dont take those meds, based schizo.

>>15614562
what mongoloid shopped the fries inside upside down?

>>15628267
holy shit you're right haha

Possibly retarded question, but bear with me.

If I have one of those old meme fishbowl halogens, can I reliably replicate what an airfryer does by buying a fryer grate?

>>15628334
what?

110 posts of "no you"
anybody actually have a properly backed argument that's not some crispness-chart straight from the fryer marketing materials to shill this?
I need to buy an oven anyway because most fun things just wouldn't fit into one of these, or end up being squeezed which can't be great for airflow.

>>15614600
wtf a bottle of sunflower oil takes weeks for me to empty, the hell kind of expensive brand ass oil are you buying that an air fryer saves you money in the long run

>>15614866
Another benefit over a convection oven is your food isnt sitting on a hot surface so it wont dry out or burn on one side.

>>15617887
Oddly enough, pizza is one thing it doesnt do that well.

>>15628507
You deep fry chicken wings and French fries in sunflower oil?

>>15628541
marginal benefits over oven fries

>>15628351
Some while ago I was gifted one of those old meme glass halogen ovens that telemarketers used to shill the fuck out of during the early-00s.
I was asking if the fryer attachment (from my previous post) can reliably reproduce what a current-day airfryer does.

>>15628619
I think heating by radiation is quite a bit different from heating by high speed circulating hot air.
Do those light furnace things have fans or something? do they rely solely on convection?

>>15614873
Oven is bigger and uses more time/energy for preheat I guess. It's just a more compact oven.

>>15614873
It’s not, theyre the same as any other small oven they just look different

>>15628744
They have a fan inside, the operating principle is almost identical. Bulb produces heat, fan pushes it around the glass bowl.

>>15629222
try it out I guess
I don't see why it wouldn't work unless they have a different sort of vapor management or some shit
don't they come with a rack in the first place though?

>>15614562
Why did they shoop the chips upside down?

>>15628507
>t. never actually deep fried

>durr why u buy electric kettle when u can just boil water on stove for 10 extra minutes

>>15629222
They're just tiny convection ovens. I don't see why people don't just get a real oven.

>>15631079
>>15631062

>>15614873
For me, it's the fact there's no preheating step and it automatically turns itself off. The fact it's smaller is also fantastic for heating up small quantities of food.

Between my instant pot and my air fryer, I can cook almost anything.

plenty of Microwaves and toaster ovens have air fryer options now, buying a dedicated one is retarded

>>15618062
Yeah I do this at work all the time

>>15614873

its cool

I got that air fryer

>>15631062
exept that boiling water on the stove isn't even remotely slower than having a kettle

>>15615075
Took me 30 minutes including preheating.

>>15614562
fucking hate air fryers

>>15627673
oil is optional but it helps get that fried-food-esque crisp on the surfaces that are blasted by the hot air.

>>15633196
Why's that anon? They're fast and better than a microwave for reheating.

Air Fryer:
+quick
+energy efficient
-not good for larger meals
-awkward shape means some meals are impossible to make

Oven:
+Lots of room for multiple dishes
+almost guaranteed to have one in your home already
-must be preheated
-wastes a lot of fuel heating nearly empty oven

Microwave:
+FAST
+instructions on packages are catered around it
+great for reheating 'wet' foods
-crispy foods get soggy
-bready foods get tough and chewy
-even if your microwave does support it, setting the power settings is a pain

Deep Fryer:
+Deep Fried Taste
+Faster than you'd think
-Messy splatter even if you cover it well
-Must use a huge amount of oil compared to other methods
-must either dispose of oil after one use (wasteful)
-or store used oil for an indeterminate time (messy)
-Everything is greasy af
-will kill you eventually
-might burn your house down

>>15633288
Honeslty I think its because if I have the time to wait for it in the air fryer, I have the time to wait for it in the oven, if I dont have time to put it in the oven, then I'll just do the microwave

It's also cause my family never shuts up about air fryers so it just feels constantly forced

They've been good for mozzarella sticks so far though

>>15618250
it's a bitch to clean though

>>15633327
where does the toaster oven fit in that????

>>15628507
you do know how deep frying works, do you?

>>15633734
Toaster Oven:
+Perfect for toasting bread, better than an actual toaster because of the level of temperature control
+Sandwich Making King
+No preheating needed
+Energy efficient compared to oven
+Surprisingly good for roasting veggies
-Too small to make a full meal in
-not great for reheating food: takes a long time compared to the microwave, and many types of takeout meals don't fit or require other logistical concerns(such as the packaging they are in.)

I think at this point the ideal food prep device would be the general idea of an air fryer in the form factor of an extra-tall toaster oven. But even that wouldn't completely obviate the need for the other cooking appliances.

>>15631413
I know this is bait but I'm so mad rn

>>15633327
why do we live in a hell, where you can't efficiently and cleanly fry things at home
truly a cursed existance

>>15633670
I just spray it in oven cleaner (the foam stuff), let it sit and just use a brush. Everything comes right off.

>>15618259
Because they were marketed more effectively. Before the only well known air fryer was shit like the Nuwave Oven.

>>15614562
Nigga please.

My nuwave is dying, and by dying I mean the plastic dome is cracking like crazy. I'm trying to figure out a way to keep it together, because it still heats things fine, but yeah. I know it's just a convection oven, but Im not seeing what would make a good replacement instead of getting another used one off craigslist/fb marketplace.

I use the fucker every day.

I have a breville toaster oven w/ convection, does all this shit but is slightly larger. Enough to fit a small pizza or baking dish. Far more versatile and I can also use it for toast/broiling. Most used oven in my kitchen.

>>15631413
>>15618062
You're onto something, I'll try to keep that in mind.

>>15646103
this is popular literally only because of the deliberately confusing naming of these machines
people think this thing is a replacement for a deepfryer and that it's somehow different from a convection oven

>>15627673
No. In fact, using oil in them is a good way to ruin them.

>>15614562
