Food That Tastes Better/Worse Over Time

[Master]

Air fryers are healthy and cheaper than using an oven. We have a big one but they are not large enough for the food we want to put in there.

Have been using them for the last 4 years.

I was skeptical of air fryers at first, of course having been used to a lifetime of frying in some kind of oil.

To my surprise, however, some things come out rather well from air fryers. My wife has become quite adept at it... and french fries and wings come out great!

Microwaves aren't good at reheating some things (they become soggy)... and air fryers are a good alternative.

Air fryers are good for some things, just like microwaves are.but they’re not the coming of the next messiah.
Some things are better deep fried for a reason.

"Deep fryers will give a traditional taste and are best for thick or wet batters, as wet batter may drip through the air fryer basket before it sets. Foods with dry exteriors work best in an air fryer and can still create crispy, caramelized foods using a fraction of the oil."

Makes sense. BTW... this conversation is making me hungry.

yeah they are a big deal lately -- Master how "big" FFS is the food you'd like to put in there?

Air fryers are just convection/toaster ovens:





Mexican food is just shit wrapped in other shit.

A proper Christmas cake should be in a tin and fed (injected with booze) for many weeks.

That's what popped to my mind, really suited for quick snack fry ups. The size is pretty limited from what I've seen and you cannot 'stack' or make a full 3,4 person meal. Microwave is all reheating here. Maybe scrambled eggs in there, which really aren't bad. And reheat teas of coffees.
