all aboard the hype train! but for a good reason.
This is a great item, air fryers might seem over hyped right now, but this one is worth it. Its quick and easy to use for a lot of things and the clean up is very fast. There are a lot of different options out there right now, I got this one on sale and haven't been disappointed with the purchase yet. And yes, air fryers are basically convection ovens, but much more convenient and smaller form factor.
Pros :
- its a great way cook certain foods and reduce the fat.
- wonderful for sausages, frozen fried chicken, French fries, tater tots, corn dogs, (Things like this) Much faster than using the oven to cook fries.
- when cooking sausages i am always amazed how much fat is in the bottom catch pan and to think i used to be eating that.
- super easy to clean, huge improve over cleaning pans for boiling sausages.
- i feel like in general appliance plug in cords are always too short, but this one is long enough to plug it in and not have the unit right next to the plug.
- its really easy to clean... super easy to clean when compared to a traditional fryer.
Cons
- it wont replace your deep fryer for certain things. if it needs to be boiled in oil then nothing will replace a fryer.
- its another kitchen appliance that takes up space and isnt used everyday
- it is made of plastic, this might be a turn off to some people
- the controls are super easy once you realize what you need to to, you need to press the on button, then choose the cooking temp, then hit on again. but can be frustrating at first.
