Air Fryers.
It's a tiny convection oven.
I love air fryers. I would absolutely get rid of my toaster oven/conventional oven.
I'm not here making giant roasts or pies. I'm just trying to heat up some nuggies and fries.
They cook so much better.
Best way to reheat pizza. Also, I've been making garlic feta fries in there lately that aren't quite oil crisp (and I'm picky about my fries) but are worth eating. (1 part black pepper, 2 parts salt, 2 parts garlic powder, 4 parts oregano, as much feta as you'd like). We really only get out the big oven for stuff like pizza, calzones, meals for large gatherings, stuff that doesn't fit in the air fryer.
The box stores make this spanakopita, it cooks up so well in there. I practically live off the stuff.
Convection toaster ovens are the best though. They let you "air fry" in a far better form factor, and you can also toast and bake in them.
I keep trying to use my convection toaster oven as an air fryer, because goddamnit an air fryer is just a small convection oven and so is this!
It never turns out well and then I say, see? Air fryers are stupid.
I suspect the 10x larger fan on an actual air fryer makes a difference, but I’m not willing to give up the counter space to try.
Yes, and it's glorious.
I don't have space for a full sized oven, and I am also convinced the little guy turns out better results than the proper convection oven my mom used to have.
Technology Connections has shown me that air fryers are just a glorified toaster oven. They don't do really anything better, so just stick to a toaster oven.
Yeah, but it has its use. I make tofu nuggets with mine almost exclusively, can't really do it with a normal convection oven in my experience.
