It has been said about so many appliances and tools, and it’s hard to know what to believe some times, but air fryer is game changer!
Imagine your convection oven could heat up in two minutes or less. And no tray. No tray at all. Just toss it in then scoop it out. Game changer.

I put rice in the pressure cooker. It’s faster and just as easy.

Bonus points to anyone with stickers of Queen and or David Bowie on your cooker

My pressure cooker always makes rice too gluey. I’ve tried different timings and measures, nothing works. Though I do have a really decent sushi rice process for the pressure cooker.
I didn’t get a rice cooker for years after my zojirushi mysteriously broke and I couldn’t get it repaired. Didn’t want anything teflon. Finally got a tatung. Really happy.

How much counter space do you have? My rice cooker is already on top of another appliance.
If you’re not cooking rice all the time it is just not worth it
AA5B@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I’ll give counterpoint
- Many rice cookers are a fairly small appliance. There’s plenty of room on the counter in even the smallest kitchens
- My rice cooker is the reason I cook rice all the time. Before getting one, rice was rarely worth the effort, but now it is the easiest, most convenient starch

My oven already heats up in 2minutes? What is the problem with trays?
halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 2 days ago
They’re the same thing. A small oven heats up faster than a big oven. It’s only faster because it’s 1/10th the size.
Anivia@feddit.org 2 days ago
The airflow in a regular convection oven is not nearly as violent as in an air fryer. Even when preheated food will cook faster and become crisper in an air fryer than a convection oven at the same temperature
sudo@programming.dev 2 days ago
I’ve considtently cooked better rice on my stove than any rice cooker. It takes more practice to dial in but once you’ve got it, its better than a rice cooker.
ProTip you can just pick up the pot, hold the lid down and flip it to see if there’s too much or too little water left.

It’s hard to find a good one that doesn’t have PFAS. And having one that has isn’t an option because it can easily kill my birds
AA5B@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I see even reasonably priced rice cookers with stainless steel pots now. I have no idea what cleaning those is like but the PFAS surface on my current rice cooker is no longer as non-stick as it used to be so I’m looking at stainless
BarbedDentalFloss@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
That’s a problem with high heat and non-stick surfaces. Rice cookers are much, much lower heat.
Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 1 day ago
Limited space and a saucepan is just fine for rice. I generally avoid over specialised cooking tools and go for more generic equipment. Like I also don’t own a waffle iron or sandwich toaster.

Hate them all you want, but it takes a fraction of the space in my tiny kitchen, compared with a convection oven, and does the same job.

Dearth@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Isn’t that all an airfryer is? A convection oven?
howrar@lemmy.ca 1 day ago
An air fryer is a convection oven. But not every convection oven is an air fryer.
AA5B@lemmy.world 1 day ago
An air fryer is a convection oven but more so.
When I looked a couple years ago there wasn’t a standard definition. But if you look at the specs of similar products from a specific manufacturer, you’d see air fryers moved more air than convection ovens
I had to get a new stove and wanted one with an air fryer but at the time there were none that were both induction stove and air fryer. I had to settle for convection oven but the only difference I found on the specs was more air movement. However the convection oven on this brand had more air movement than air fryer on a different brand
I don’t know if definitions have been standardized since then
CrowAirbrush@lemmy.world 23 hours ago
They probably have been standardized, by every single brand independently😅
You know, how they usually go about things.
ZeDoTelhado@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Can we agree air fryer is just a rebranding of convection oven? Also, it is useful (specifically for smaller kitchens)
IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 2 days ago
ish, except the different form factor gives it a different use case. mostly based on scale. gotta feed 2 to three people, an air fryer will heat up faster and use less energy than heating up the big kitchen oven that will do the same.
it’s like comparing a kei truck with a semi truck, they do the same at different scales, you just gotta use the one appropriate for your scale.

What if you have a convection toaster oven and live by yourself—still worth it?
LyD@lemmy.ca 2 days ago
Air fryers do use air convention for heating, but they aren’t just smaller convection ovens. They have lots of design features that make them much more suited to certain types of cooking. The basket, much higher airflow, etc. all make a big difference in how you use them.
I had a countertop convection oven that was about the same size as an air fryer and they both had different use cases.
CallMeAnAI@lemmy.world 2 days ago
No, because they have different characteristics. A convection oven moves far less percentage of volume and takes 4x to heat up. If you put the same exact food in tech it will come out differently.
Bamboodpanda@lemmy.world 1 day ago
A true air fryer cooks by blasting hot air from directly above the food. The fan and heating element sit on top, and the food rests in a basket with holes that let air flow underneath. This creates a fast-moving vortex of heat that surrounds the food, cooking it evenly and making it crispy with very little oil.
A small tabletop convection oven works differently. Its fan is usually in the back or on the side, pushing hot air around the chamber instead of straight down. The air moves more gently, and the food often sits on a solid tray or rack that blocks airflow underneath. It still cooks evenly, but it produces more of a roasted texture than a fried one.
Personally, I prefer tabletop convection.

Buyed the cheapest airfryer there was, 15 bucks, it has a mechanical timer and is on recall for causing house firers. Worth it? Kinda…

That’s true. I own a frying pan and an oven.
Health benefits don’t really concern me. I’m in no hurry to get anywhere so the time benefits do not apply to me. I never deep fry things. I think I’d sooner buy a rice cooker.Fla@lemmy.zip 2 days ago
It was certainly overhyped, but i i cant say i’m opposed to: Lower energy usage Quicker (Allegedly) healthier
PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Energy usage is the only consideration for me. It hurts a little when I have to fire up the oven, knowing an air flyer could do it more efficiently. I do use an induction stove for everything else though and that shit is efficient.
v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 1 day ago
Dude, you should get a rice cooker. I’ve never had so little trouble cooking rice before. And as long as it’s not a weird batch of rice, it always comes out near-perfect
Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 2 days ago
Sometimes you want to cook things at a different temperature which is where I find the air fryer comes in handy. Also for pretty small quantities the air fryer is essentially just a mini oven that heats up quickly.
If you have a massive kitchen with multiple ovens then sure the air fryer isn’t overly necessary, but my kitchen is tiny and its the only realistic way to have multiple ovens - the air fryer has 2 compartments with a removable divider so I can use it as 1 small or 2 tiny ovens.
CodingCarpenter@lemmy.ml 2 days ago
We have two normal sized ovens. I still prefer to use the air fryer. If only for the fact that it only takes about 8 minutes to make pizza rolls

AA5B@lemmy.world 1 day ago
This is just like a rice cooker. Since the toaster and microwave, there have been few kitchen gadgets that actually make life easier, but they are my rice cooker, my coffee pods, and my air fryer. All of them turn a common food process you need to pay attention to, to simply press a button and walk away.
And before people talk about junk and processed foods …. My air fryer is great with chicken breasts and tofu. I’ve used it to cook more actual chicken than processed chicken-like food product. An air fryer is just a tool/gadget: it’s entirely your choice what you use it for

Actually I miss my old DeLonghi convection oven. Cleaning this thing isn’t great. My ex would not go for an air fryer but perhaps I’ll treat myself.

I used to dismiss airfryer, think i could just deep fry stuff with a pan/pot, until i realise that i have to wash so many thing and wipe away all those oil from the wall, just for a single piece of hashbrown or 5 or 6 piece of wonton. Getting an airfryer is like a whole new experience, and i can crunch up fried chicken quickly after thawing it with microwave. It’s great!
