    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.

        No they’re very differently loud. They’re mechanically loud while microwaves are electrically loud

      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.
