Cornish Hens are great in our air fryer. But honestly my favorite use is just chucking a bunch of veggies, shrimp, and seasoning for a faux cajun bowl.

Inspector, I think you just sold me on an air fryer.

This is pretty much how I feel about shrimp:

By the way, do you mix your own seasoning?

For those getting the primals, are they just stocked with the rest of the beef or is it a special-ask-for-it-over-the-counter item? We could definitely break down one.

Air fryers are convection toaster ovens but in a weird shape, you could buy one of those and have a more useful appliance. Costco sells them.

Yeah. Like legit sometimes you just wanna cook poo poo quick with as little hassle as possible and there are some great tools for that job these days.

I don’t need to bust out 4 copper pans and turn the oven on and poo poo.

It's mind numbing seeing people waste money on things they don't need during a financial crisis because they're brains have been broken into only feeling happy when they spend money.

I use a convection toaster oven for fries and things. It's just as fast, and I can make so many other things in there, like small batches of cookies, fish sticks, roasted nuts. Picked it up at a church last year, I'm sure it's still available.

I can't find my model in the online store, but this is close to it. Just ditch the digital stuff and put 3 control nobs on that side instead:

Favorite air fryer uses?

I've heard they're great for roasting frozen veggies and cooking small birds, esp. cornish hens.

all the frozen costco stuff as snacks

spring rolls, bags of fries, chicken strips, etc

I hear tales of putting in cookie dough

edit: I'm someone who also usually hates kitchen gadgets. I've found it's like a toaster and has it's place

My chest freezer was delivered on Friday. Despite the numerous negative reviews showing shipping damage, mine arrived in perfect condition. UPS even put it in my garage because it was raining.

Now I have to get it to my basement without messing it up :v:

Garage freezers go in the garage, everyone knows that.

Went to church yesterday. Meat department is closed, they are remodeling or something. No chickens and weird meat selection. So no smoking for me this weekend.

But, don’t judge, they finally got in the bubble fruit cups that my literal children love.

So what I'm getting is this is a toaster oven, and you can turn on the turbo/fan part to have the hot air circulate quickly, which is the entire point of an air fryer? For 1/2 the price and way more cooking capacity?

I had the exact same thoughts you air fryer haters have until my friend convinced me to get one. I have a convection oven and recently bought an air fryer. The air circulation is night and day. My toaster oven's (which can't make toast so I need a regular toaster :argh:) fan is barely audible and just barely circulates the air. It's just enough to make the heat even all around. That's the purpose. My air fryer sounds like a turbine engine. It cooks things in literally half the time and I can actually get a crust on things instead of baking in my toaster oven, which I still use for regular baking instead of my big oven. It's not a full replacement.
