I’ve learned in my life that I just really appreciate some good documentation, y’know?

RTFM

Is this a car joke

People are just not getting it. No lengthy preheat times and you can stick a handful of fries in it to go with your sandwich and it will be done in under 10 minutes. Not inefficient if it can run for less than half the time of a big oven

It is a small efficient oven that is easy to use.

It is great to re-heat food and the texture of the re-heated food is a lot better than a microwave.

It’s great for breaded food and takes a lot less time than a conventional oven since it heats up pretty much instantly.

For example, when I make Parmigiana Chicken, if I do it the air fryer, it takes about 15 minutes overall cooking time, including melting the cheese to a golden crips texture. If I use my conventional convection oven, it takes 10 minutes just to heat-up.

It is also easy to clean.

It does not replace the conventional oven for everything, but it does a lot of things faster with the same result. It’s a big boon.

Frying is all about quickly imparting heat into the surface of a food at high temperature. Air fryers mimic that by moving a much higher volume of hot air past the food – they’re “super convection” ovens.
