Hate them all you want, but it takes a fraction of the space in my tiny kitchen, compared with a convection oven, and does the same job.

I don't think they deserve hate tbh
Isn't that all an airfryer is? A convection oven?
An air fryer is a convection oven but more so.
When I looked a couple years ago there wasn’t a standard definition. But if you look at the specs of similar products from a specific manufacturer, you’d see air fryers moved more air than convection ovens
I had to get a new stove and wanted one with an air fryer but at the time there were none that were both induction stove and air fryer. I had to settle for convection oven but the only difference I found on the specs was more air movement. However the convection oven on this brand had more air movement than air fryer on a different brand
I don’t know if definitions have been standardized since then
They probably have been standardized, by every single brand independently😅
You know, how they usually go about things.
An air fryer is a convection oven. But not every convection oven is an air fryer.
A true air fryer cooks by blasting hot air from directly above the food. The fan and heating element sit on top, and the food rests in a basket with holes that let air flow underneath. This creates a fast-moving vortex of heat that surrounds the food, cooking it evenly and making it crispy with very little oil.
A small tabletop convection oven works differently. Its fan is usually in the back or on the side, pushing hot air around the chamber instead of straight down. The air moves more gently, and the food often sits on a solid tray or rack that blocks airflow underneath. It still cooks evenly, but it produces more of a roasted texture than a fried one.
Personally, I prefer tabletop convection.
What is the source of the pic?
Seems very unhinged
The memes on Lemmy are definitely pushing towards having alt-text like “a picture of some guy I dunno”.
Zomg teh Rei!
Calling Evangalion 'unhinged' might be the understatement of the century

Evangalion and correct
I just see a picture of an air fryer, what do you see?
honestly I can't remember what unfried air tastes like and I don't want to remember
Yes because AirFryer is that one company’s name for the HEISSLUFTFRITTEUSE

True but when I have kitchen space the thrift store has plenty. I came dangerously close to buying one when I went to get a food processor (yes I eat processed foods)
It has been said about so many appliances and tools, and it's hard to know what to believe some times, but air fryer is game changer!
Imagine your convection oven could heat up in two minutes or less. And no tray. No tray at all. Just toss it in then scoop it out. Game changer.
PS if you don't own a rice cooker what the fuck are you doing
My oven already heats up in 2minutes? What is the problem with trays?
PS if you don’t own a rice cooker what the fuck are you doing
It's hard to find a good one that doesn't have PFAS. And having one that has isn't an option because it can easily kill my birds
I see even reasonably priced rice cookers with stainless steel pots now. I have no idea what cleaning those is like but the PFAS surface on my current rice cooker is no longer as non-stick as it used to be so I’m looking at stainless
That's a problem with high heat and non-stick surfaces. Rice cookers are much, much lower heat.
I just won't risk it with anything that heats up
if you don't own a rice cooker what the fuck are you doing
Not eating rice

That's true. I own a frying pan and an oven.
Health benefits don't really concern me. I'm in no hurry to get anywhere so the time benefits do not apply to me. I never deep fry things. I think I'd sooner buy a rice cooker.
This is just like a rice cooker. Since the toaster and microwave, there have been few kitchen gadgets that actually make life easier, but they are my rice cooker, my coffee pods, and my air fryer. All of them turn a common food process you need to pay attention to, to simply press a button and walk away.
And before people talk about junk and processed foods …. My air fryer is great with chicken breasts and tofu. I’ve used it to cook more actual chicken than processed chicken-like food product. An air fryer is just a tool/gadget: it’s entirely your choice what you use it for
Dude, you should get a rice cooker. I've never had so little trouble cooking rice before. And as long as it's not a weird batch of rice, it always comes out near-perfect
It was certainly overhyped, but i can't say i'm opposed to anything that's: Lower energy usage Quicker (Allegedly) healthier
