    the air frier is such a marketing genius, they used an established technology, the convection oven, packed it small and brand it as healthy, now everyone has it

      I got one not because it’s healthy but because it’s literally a small oven for when I don’t want to heat the whole big oven

      It’s more like adding a leaf blower to it, but yeah it’s just a glorified convection oven.

      Lots of modern ovens come with the feature, but you can’t just air fry in any old convection oven.

        Plus it doesn’t take 15 minutes to preheat

          I had one that took a few minutes to preheat, and others that you just toss the stuff in.

          But yeah, it’s a marginal time with that one I would just start it and than go grab what I want to cook and it’ll be ready by then usually.
