Air Fryers?

Post by the-real-steve »

Who has one, how often do you use it, and is it worth what you paid and the space it takes up?

Thank you.

Had one. Liked it, immediately got rid of it. :D It wasn't big enough for our family.

We have one, it's the one that looks like a toaster oven so can use as air fryer, toaster oven, toaster. There are only 2 of us and we use it all the time. Love it.

It’s worth the counterspace for me. i have a basic toaster for toast.

My daughter uses hers frequently. (2-4 people)
For a long while, she had this type (instapot link) + the toaster-oven style one.
She recently donated the toaster oven one and bought a basic toaster.

We still have microwaves and use them, not as often. They’re mounted over our ranges.

i paid $80 on sale. i have no idea about price now.

(all parts go in the dishwasher) my daughter uses that all the time.

We have an air fryer, and I use it practically every day. It's especially practical during summer's hot weather without AC. I've not heard of dangers of air fryers as with microwaves.

Thank you.
I have one (its a Ninja Crispi), I use it almost every day (for potatoes, sweet potatoes, salmon, veggies, etc.), and I would say that the price and amount of space taken was worth it!

One thing you should know is that it is not safe around kids. The vent on the back of the air fryer shoots really hot steam during cooking, the container is made of breakable glass, and inserting or removing the lid takes care in terms of avoiding getting burnt.
