The appliance that elicits anger and frustrated at it’s mere sight. The treacherous device that never worked right.

      Yeah, but it has its use. I make tofu nuggets with mine almost exclusively, can’t really do it with a normal convection oven in my experience.

      Convection toaster ovens are the best though. They let you “air fry” in a far better form factor, and you can also toast and bake in them.

        I keep trying to use my convection toaster oven as an air fryer, because goddamnit an air fryer is just a small convection oven and so is this!

        It never turns out well and then I say, see? Air fryers are stupid.

        I suspect the 10x larger fan on an actual air fryer makes a difference, but I’m not willing to give up the counter space to try.

      Yes, and it’s glorious.

      I don’t have space for a full sized oven, and I am also convinced the little guy turns out better results than the proper convection oven my mom used to have.

      Technology Connections has shown me that air fryers are just a glorified toaster oven. They don’t do really anything better, so just stick to a toaster oven.

      I love air fryers. I would absolutely get rid of my toaster oven/conventional oven.

      I’m not here making giant roasts or pies. I’m just trying to heat up some nuggies and fries.

      They cook so much better.
