Air Fryers (Update 9/27)
Posted on 9/2/22 at 5:33 am
Posted on 9/2/22 at 5:33 am
Both of my boys are off to college and it is just me at the house. What air fryer should I buy? Seems starting the oven is overkill to reheat leftovers or warm up some taquitos for one. Brands and cost are appreciated.
Update: I bought the Gourmia from Costco for $149. Works great for what i need. No need to crank up the oven for warming leftovers or heating up frozen foods.

I have the Ninja that looks kind of like a toaster oven.
I use it nearly every day. Love it.

Thanks ATL. It seems like the Ninja is the de facto standard.

My wife likes this one too because it folds up and takes up less counter space.
I started out using it to make French fries mostly but I was really pleased with how well it cooks proteins.
Some people do full recipes in theirs but I haven’t done that yet.

I love me some taquitos or tamales.
What's different with the air fryers over the normal toaster oven?

Hmm I’m not great at describing stuff like this.
Kind of like a Murphy bed. Haha!

I have this Ninja also. I use it a lot instead of using the slow as Christmas electric oven.

I also have a Ninja, but a smaller version. It folds up and out of the way when not in use, but no complaints at all with it. We have almost started using it exclusively instead of the wall oven.

We have that same version (and on sale from Costco too 
). We use it damn near every day. It pretty much stays out on our island and is amazing when you don’t want to turn on the oven.
Makes the best roasted Brussels sprouts.

Shall we analyze what you spend money on? I bet we find some really idiotic items. If that’s how we are playing this.

Definitely get the oven style, not the basket style. I have a Chefman that bakes, broils, toasts and air fries. I use it all summer long instead of my oven, and it turns out some good food- crispy roasted veggies & tender, juicy meats. Since it's smaller than the oven, foods do cook faster, so adjust your cooking times.

My wife bought one a couple months ago. It is a "Gourmia" 7 qt. capacity air fryer.
The first thing she did was fries just to get her feet wet using it and they turned out great. Last week she came home with a huge bag of frozen chicken wings from Costco and fried a few batches using the fryer and they came out great. The skin was dry, crispy and very well seasoned.
She also used it to cook some breaded pork chops but missed the mark a bit going too long on the cooking time as they turned out rather dry. She now knows to cut the cooking time and I'm sure the future results will be good.
I'm sure the more she uses it, the better the results will be. As for me, I'm more traditional and will keep with the stove and oven for the most part since I do 90+% of the cooking around here.

i guess im fortunate enough to be able to afford it. Buy once, cry once. As i said, i absolutely love this thing. It has completely replaced my oven.
