    10 minutes to boil a cup of water? How is that considered good in any way?

      it’s sarcasm.

      Air fryers suck at boiling water. They’re basically anti-microwaves. Everything a microwave is good at, they suck at, and vice versa.

        My microwave is bad at walking a dog. Schould I buy an airfryer? Especially in winter, I would like a machine for that.

          You’re attempting to automate pet ownership?

          We’re kinda skipping the whole point, like people that grind in RuneScape?

        Air fryers are for putting a crust on things. Basicly a miniature convection oven

          That’s because it is basically a convection oven, it just has a basket and a few extra customizations. But, as the video notes, a convection toaster oven is not a suitable replacement for an air fryer in most cases.

            Technically it’s closer to an impingement oven than a convection oven. I’m surprised Alec didn’t mention impingement ovens at all in the video.

            My full size oven has a convection feature that does the same thing my airfryer does but at a much slower speed since it has to warm up for about 5 minutes first so yeah the airfryer works faster but has a smaller capacity than most toaster ovens as well as all full size ones

        Thats why I got a Convection Microwave. Best of both worlds!

          I put microwavable things in my microwave halfway, then in my air fryer to finish.

          Perfect for little pot pies. Gets the top crispy.

              Oh I don’t close the door, I just jam something in the little hole the door goes into and start it

              No, no no. Lmao 🤣

              Not halfway into the microwave, you silly.

              Halfway into the air fryer.
