I love healthy food and I just got an air fryier from my brother.



It's like a simple version without even any digital display.



Anyone owns one? What are you cookin? 



[spoiler]"Idk how it even works, im reading about it rn and wanted to make some potatoes. In oven if you dont add oil they end up really shitty. Do they taste alright if made in this thingy?[/spoiler]"

And yes as you can see im retarded

I like to make fish cakes with mine. I bake some fish(tilapia, crappie, whatever i got) with lemon and olive oil, then i make a patty with the baked fish, shredded potato, an egg and some bread crumbs. I add bell pepper and cajun seasoning and air fry it like a salmon croquet. Really good with some homemade tartar sauce or roumelade. I like the way the air fryer crisps it up.

it can cook anything you would normally put in an oven.

Fish, sausages, reheating pizza, hashbrowns, roasted veggies etc. are all great

That sounds really good.



Oh so you process the food before air frying. That sounds pretty good.



I dont eat food that was processed multiple times with oil and such on daily though. I usually eat processed/oiled up food like once a week.



I was just wondering about oil because when i usually bake in owen things come out with dry and non-crispy outside if you dont add much oil.



And the selling point of air frying i read is that you dont have to add any oil.

isn't an air fryer just a small convection oven

You can make a surprising variety of food with an air fryer. I was able to roast a pork loin in there once, and it came out perfectly.

Toss vegetables in oil and spices and put them in for 5-15 minutes. Great for roasted brussel sprouts for lunch which I otherwise wouldn't bother heating the oven for.

Are there any airfryers that dont have teflon or some other kinda cancer coating?

I know they make toaster oven versions but they dont cook aswell, might as well just use an oven at that point

>>19164513 (OP)

it's a subpar substitute for regular frying, but an upgrade over open roasting

Yes

More of a broiler that circulates air, but pretty much. It does not replace an actual oven though, baking in an air fryer results in burnt tops for bread and shit.

I use mine for anything that is fried, and it is perfect for frozen fried items. Fries, chicken strips, tots, all come out fantastic compared to the oven. Adds some crisp to them, so long as you coat them in some oil. 



Also a sneaky way to reheat fast food that has gotten lukewarm.

I love making fried chicken in mine



let chicken rest at room temp for a bit, baste with egg or whatever.



Use zip lock baggy for chicken schnitzel crumbs ( pic related) add herbs n spices too taste and crumb that chicken.



I think it's the best at home fried chicken you can do, air fryers are amaaaaazing

I don't get how people fry food in these and like it. Deep frying is still vastly superior. Of course Americans see reheating fast food as the main benefit. I use mine for baking when I don't want to turn the oven on on the summer.

Why did they call fish crappie? That's mean.
