10 min? Vs like 3-5 min in the drive through, but I can do other shit while the air fryer’s going.

[-] Protoknuckles@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

Oh, I'm not advocating McDonalds breakfast, but I remember them taking like 20 minutes in the oven. I'm not a morning person, so I do not plan my breakfast 20 minutes ahead, lol.

I'm using the tools I have. 🤷

Air fryer cuts it in half.

Can I shit on air fryers for a second though.

How did everyone just accept this horrible example of marketing and branding nonsense? I literally had relatives explaining it to me like it was a magical new way of cooking just invented.

Its a fucking tiny convection oven.

Its a fucking tiny convection oven.

It's marketing. They know Americans won't buy an oven, but we love frying things.

[-] rekorse@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

It really is fun listening to people tall about how it can fry things without oil, scientists finally cracked the code!

  1. Doesn’t have to be tiny - there are go full sized
  2. More convection than convection. While there’s not a clear definition of either, companies that do both distinguish them by windiness
  3. Many countertop models don’t need pre-heating!
  4. More automated, no need to think. Just press a few buttons and wait for the ding, like a microwave.

I love your use of windiness. I will concede that point purely because it made me laugh and it made sense at the same time.

I'll pushback on the preheat though, we just got a microwave air fryer combo (awesome saving space) and while it heats up super quick, still have to add a few minutes for preheat.

Kinda like the difference in boot time from HDD to NVMe.

That's when you throw it on the oven and then take a shower. Just gotta time it with what you normally do half awake in the morning.

[-] JudahBenHur@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

people downvoting the shit out of you for speaking truth to Big Homemade Hasbrown

shit takes a minute guys, its ok that not every feature of a home made thing is superior to McDonalds

[-] Protoknuckles@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I'm not sure why I struck such a nerve, lol. I just got frustrated because I'm not a morning person, and hashbrowns eggs and bacon take forever! And I can't get the timing lined up, since I'm half awake, so screw it. Bagel and coffee.

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Air fryer for the win. Think of it like your microwave: pop the food in, set the timer or use a program, wait for DING! It’s not just faster than regular oven but no preheating and more automated so it’s easier
