What's an air fryer anyway?

[spinbaby]

As near as I can tell from descriptions, it’s just a countertop convection oven.

1. What ?!? You mean you've never tried fried air ?

It's crunchy and filling, but exceptionally light on calories.

2. Tiny, overpriced convection oven

No, you will not get real fried flavor from it.
Search air fryer reviews for yourself.

6. That's what I thought

Although the descriptions all seem to be kind of vague about it.

3. You're way better off buying a toaster oven that has a convection option. n/t

4. My sister bought one

and ended up returning it. They are way over hyped.

5. Air fryer is an oxymoron

By definition frying is the cooking application by means of hot oil.

7. I like mine

Make bacon, hot dogs and frozen potatoes in it. Makes awesome tater tots. Also good frozen breaded shrimp. One of these days I’ll try some of the actual recipes for it.
Mine is a mid-size basic one for $70. You can get the smaller one for $50.
