Where did the recent air fryer trend come from anyway?

yeah they're just small convection ovens. Great for heating bread rolls, we use ours more as a toaster than for "frying" (they don't fry)
Yep. Giant superpowered toaster. Useful for ... anything that could do. Which is actually quite a bit.
Best way to reheat pizza for instance. It's nice that they're a little more energy efficient than doing it in the oven, and don't leave it soggy like the microwave.
Not better than stovetop, which is actually best imo, but that takes actual effort.
I reheat pizza in my air fryer in a moderately involved way (but still low effort). Mine's got a reheat setting, which I set at 200 degrees for like 20 minutes just to get it to slightly above room temperature throughout. Then I hit air broil for maybe 1.5 minutes. It bubbles up the cheese and the oil in the crust without causing anything to char. Tastes pretty great, you just have to be willing to wait 25 minutes.
"which I set at 200 degrees for like 20 minutes just to get it to slightly above room temperature throughout."
I read that like 4 times wondering how fucking hot your room is.
I keep it around 190 most days.
Shit just leave it on the counter, it'll cook right there
I think the pretty good results for not very much effort is why I use mine as much as I do
We make (air) fried chicken with ours, as well as onion rings. It’s super effective.
Grilled cheese sandwiches are perfection with an air fryer.
How do you weigh down the bread so it's not caught in the heat tornado?
Butter up the bread slices both sides and slap as much cheese as you want inbetween and put the whole thing in there. Flip it at 5-10 mins depending on your temp and device and let it go another minute or two. It takes a few tries to get all the timings perfect and you might even want to do the two bread slices open face with cheese and then slap them together halfway and finish.
What? I had no idea... I think this may be what will send me over the edge.
Don't get very big one. 4 or 5 liter ones are perfect.
surely they are frozen or pre-fried though, right?
No, from scratch. We lightly spritz the breading with oil. It fries without a fryer. Super delicious.
They're a bit more than that.
They're convection ovens where the fan sounds like they're trying to take off and they vent a ton of hot moist air out the back.
If you put broccoli tossed in a bit of oil in an air fryer and a convection oven, it'll come out way crisper in the air fryer.
