I still use my little airfryer a lot, even if i have a good oven. It’s big enough for me, it’s faster and easier to clean.

TheLadyAugust@lemmy.world 1 day agoAs an honest answer, no preheat time. But I have an air fryer pressure cooker combo, so the air fry is more of a bonus. If you already have a connection oven, yeah there’s absolutely no reason to get an air fryer.

Most air fryers still need to preheat for a few minutes for best results.
Also some ovens now have an air fryer setting.

I have owned several air fryers. This is not true of any of them.

I’ve also owned a few different brands and it is true for most of them. They even say in the instructions to preheat for 1-5 minutes depending on the brand.
Thank you for your anecdotal evidence. It’s also not hard to just Google and see that you are wrong. Trying doing that next time before you look like a fucking dumbass.

The instructions may recommend preheating, but with the two air fryers that I’ve had in my life, for both of them I found myself taking off last minute or two because it tends to overcook. Doesn’t matter if it’s anecdotal, directions are words on paper and they can’t understand the reality of the rules they set.
The people who write directions aren’t thinking of use, they’re thinking of legal consequences. Any company that makes an air fryer would rather have you burn your food than eat it undercooked.

I use my air fryer a lot, despite having a fan oven also.
Because the fan circulation is more powerful than in a typical oven, air fryers are really good at is crisping things up, and doing it quickly.
If you ever get take-out and have left over fries, you can put them in the air fryer and they go from fridge-limp to deliciously crisp in just 3 minutes, it resurrects them perfectly. Can’t get results like that in the big oven.
