These things are every bit as awesome as I have been told. I am now an air fryer evangelist. It's so easy too, just pre heat, pop it in, set the timer and go back to watching tv while waiting for it to do its thing.

Got one as well for Christmas, didn't ask for it or want one but according to my folks it was sooooo on sale that it was kind of a 'why not?' thing. I am finding a decent amount more use than I'd thought, if anything it's fast as hell, and I'm sure uses less power than an oven and the air fry mode does make a difference. Also mine has a dehydrator which rocks for my fresh herbs when they start wilting

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

yeah mine has all sorts of functions including broil, bake, dehydrate and fry. And yes it is fast as fuck

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Damn that sounds sick as hell

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

been air frying 4 years and i assure you the preheating is almost never necessary.

I use mine for everything, i love it. Tofu with a little sesame oil and corn starch. Asparagus with garlic oil. cheesy Texas toast. leftovers. it all goes in there.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Currently making burritos that I'm finishing off in em for crispiness.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Folks. It is perfect for burritos! Wrap em tight and for this I rubbed em with just a tiny bit of oil. Got taquito on the outside burrito on the inside. I was skeptical but this does change things.

i been finishing them in the pan like a fool this is brilliant

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is really gonna change things

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

tried this and my people thought it was grand! great tip!

I also figured out how to set up flour tortillas so they come out taco shaped!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Yeah my next two experiments are going to be frozen chimichangas and spring rolls

How does the tempura work in the air fryer? I ask only because that's a very very watery batter.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

You clean it after

tempura

Uh, I'm sorry for suggesting the idea... you think you can easily clean that up

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Easily? No because I don't have a kitchen. Still better than microwave? ABSOLUTELY.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

How, please, and thank you.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I just put the baking pan underneath the fryer cage.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I meant is there a recipe you used for vegetable tempura?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

oh no I just got it from the freezer aisle at work. I don't have a kitchen that's why I am so stoked on this thing. My friend and I been sharing a microwave till now

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Ohh, cool! I don't have a full kitchen either but I do also have an airfryer so this is great to know. I'll pick some of those up.

Thank you!
