Skillet I only end up with an oily, soggy mess.

Oven the texture never turns out right.

Deep fryer is too much work to set up and clean.

Air fryer comes out perfect every time

Air fryers are one of the best culinary appliances to come out in awhile. I do not know what I'd do without one. I remember someone telling me at the beginning when they were getging popular that they were a fad. What a dork.

Great for thighs, too. Sear the skin and underside for a few minutes in a skillet for the browning, then finish it off in the air fryer at 370 for 20-25 minutes for perfect doneness.

Honestly, fryer is the only way to go. But sadly we don't have restaurant fryers in home.

There's just nothing that compares to restaurant tier fryer. Air fryers are small as shit. My oven is one, but nothing turns out right in that. And counter top ones hold like 1 slice of pizza or like 5 wings and take longer to cook.

I love my air fryer. Its quicker then the oven, and reheating in it is so much better then the microwave, even if it takes longer.

Absolutely the best for frozen fries, crisps them up so well that they're better than fast food fries tbh.

Plus you get way more for your money than fast food

I got the Emeril Air Fryer 360, it can fit a large frozen pizza. It's basically a small counter top oven with an air fry option but it uses like 500-1000 watts less than my range, so if something can fit in it I use it for that.

I can imagine on the outside looking in at how annoying we are about our air fryers. But they Are awesome. A small countertop convection oven. So quick and clean and crispy!!!!

Love my air fryer and use it for pretty much everything I can. I use a normal mini-convection oven for those crappy rectangular pizzas, though.

My only complaints about my air fryer is its small so cooking larger servings in it is more difficult

Also the tray to take food out is poorly designed and hard to manage when its hot

But it was a gift so I can't complain too much

Fresh fries are also crazy good in the air fryer!

They always turn out fine in the oven for me, same with chicken wings.

It's crazy how true this is. I tried to remember how I had frozen fries before and they all pale in comparison to air fries. Just so good.

Air fryer in general is worth its weight in gold. Chicke, beef, shrimp, literally cooks all of that it's like what I wanted the microwave to be when I was younger and finally have a device that cooks in matter of minutes

Nothing crazy, just always blanch. The seasoning and whether I add corn starch is based on my mood. Sometimes I want them spicy or simple.

You know what? Agree. I don't think I can ever go back to using the oven when I have an air fryer. I'm actually thinking of spending close to $200 Canadian on a dual basket air fryer so I could do fries and fish and chicken and or etc etc.

Every non-air-fryer method of preparing fries, pizza rolls, hot pockets, etc. is just significantly worse than the air fryer method.

I only ever use my microwave for reheating leftovers of things that won't sit right on the air fryer rack.
