19 minute video on air fryers? I don’t own an air fryer. I’m not in the market for an air fryer. I’m not very interested in air fryers.
technology connections
Fucks sake

My client struggles with showing youtube thumbnails but at this point I recognize technology connections videos just by how he writes his titles.
For some reason I knew it was technology connections just by reading the title
And the duration
The man spent like half an hour discussing light switches.
And I watched every second of it
I got an air fryer this year, and I definitively recommend it. It was cheap, I paid 350 reals (roughly 70 euros). In some cases the food is really similar to deep-fried food, but the biggest appeal of the device is as a small but powerful oven - specially for stuff like
- chicken wings - they turn out wet but well cooked, with a crispy outside
- reheating stale bread - pat it with a bit of water, then plop it in the air fryer.
- frozen potato fries - as he mentions in the video they get damn great
- milanesa - it doesn’t get identical to deep-fried milanesa but it’s really good, and way better than doing it in the oven.
If looking for a model make sure to get one with a detachable false bottom, otherwise you’ll get the problem andrewta mentioned and won’t be able to clean it right.
My dude… Get ready for some more great suggestions…
Reheating Pizza
Cooking salmon or any kind of fish really. Suggest panko breading
Same goes for pork chops. Go with the thick ones - they get wonderfully crispy but very juicy inside
BACON!!!
Roasted potatoes - make sure to cut them into larger chunks than you usually do
Reheating greasy/fried foods alone makes these things worth it imo. Im no detractor of cold pizza but its just not necessary anymore, this shit is magic
Agreed. Only way ive found to reheat fries from a restaurant. used to just leave them if i couldnt finish them.
We got take away a few weeks ago, and the fries were already soggy by the time we got home. Think i popped them in for like 3 mins or something and they were seemingly fresh again
If I got an oven with grill and fan forced, do I really need an air-fryer?
I don’t see an overwhelming reason to be honest.
You don’t need it. You won’t get the same end result with your setup, but if you don’t feel like you’re missing anything there’s no reason to get one.
So they’re for… Small meals, fast(er)meals (frozen is still a quick meal), and … those people without a normal oven?
Well… kind of? I have a normal oven, but still appreciate my air fryer. The quality of breaded or fried foods is better than a normal oven, and I use less energy. The difference isn’t big enough to make it a completely different thing, but it’s there.

No.
TIL the new “air fryer” version of my old convection toaster over is the same device, but with a basket accessory.
great. now I want a sunbeam radiant control toaster.
Most of them are a pain in the ass to properly clean. My mom has a ninja air fryer. There is no way to remove the top grate. The grease builds up in it.
Pff, it’s just heating and stirring the air, not frying it.
Yup. And that’s still damn useful.
That’s the whole point of the video.
The video doesn’t explain how to fry air
…fuck, now I get what you meant! Sorry I kind of ruined your joke.
(I’m one of those primitives still taking raw air all the time. Just seasoned with a bit pollution, mmnh, tasty NOx)
No worries. From the votes I gather only 1 to 2 got the joke.
Dont they also fill all ur food with micro plastics?
The components inside it are metal, plastic wouldn’t be able to handle that heat so they are unable to add any plastics to your food
It’s not microplastics that worry me. It’s heated plastics, which is why I don’t use plastics in the microwave or use non stick cookware. BTW, the fancy air fryer seems to be all metal, like the toaster ovens.
Also, why the downvotes to a reasonable question?
Why downvotes? I think cos everyone is using it and they dont wanna have to confront the idea they fucking themselves.
Because the comment itself is kind of useless. Do they fill food with microplastics?
Not that I’m aware of, no.
