Air fryer

[Jay]

I already have an old-fashioned pressure cooker so I'm thinking I wouldn't get the pressure cooker/air fryer I would probably go with one like this:

No doubt. This is the one my friend got me as a gift (granted, she did one of those "this is a gift for you so I can use it") and it does everything. There's even a temp probe, so you can put it in a full chicken and then put it in the oven and it will cook to the specified temp. It's actually a little too intricate for me and I just use the basics, but it literally is an all-in-one device.

These cook faster than a regular convection oven? Can you cook meats and veggies at the same time? I have a toaster oven that looks like this but it doesn’t have the air fryer mode.

Yeah I'm wondering if the "air fryer" is a gimmick or is it actually something different than what you get with a toaster oven.

It's not a gimmick, but it is the biggest complaint from people....or the complexity of the machine from older people. I've never used an actual air fryer, so I don't know how to compare. I just use air fry mode for everything.

I've done steaks, salmon, chicken, burgers, pizza, various veggies (and at the same time), etc. I use it a lot for prep stuff while cooking at the same time or prepping faster if I need things to cook faster real quick......casseroles or various ingredients that need to be timed out evenly.

If you want to take it to the next level, this comes across my YouTube algorithm fairly often because of the meals/recipes I look up often. This thing looks insane and does so much. I've only watched a few videos on it and haven't seen the review ones yet. You can basically put full meals in, leave, it does it's thing and cooks everything at the same time.

I haven't purchased them in awhile so I honestly don't know if they still sell them but these are pretty good.

Does your 3 year old pair these with a fine bourbon?

Speaking of Costco and chicken, these are legit. Speaking of which, my renewal and check came in the mail. Time to re-up, get more chicken, frozen broccoli, and fight the foot traffic of 87 year old Asians meandering through the aisles opposite the traffic flow.
