      I’ve encountered some sentiments that they’re bad simply because they’re trendy

      air fryers are just a rebranding of convection ovens, which are awesome. I don’t care what it’s called, cooking with circulated hot air is really useful

        Yeah they are, just not deep frying. It’s air frying because you’re still frying using high heat, just you rub the oil on the items instead of submerging it. That’s why frozen foods work so well, they’re so oily already.
