That one fry stuck in the fryer at the end of your fast food job shift.
I would have cleaned mine before then. Usually clean it every few uses depending on what was made in it. More often for messier things.
Everything kept coming out tasting like fish in mine and we recently discovered it was because there was a single fish stick that somehow got stuck to the roof of the thing where nobody expected anything to be.
To the roof… How did that happen? 😐
My guess is they were making popcorn and fish sticks for a movie night.
When shaking the air fryer to get all the corn cooked, a single fish stick stuck itself to the top.

I clean mine every time, cause the instructions told me to :3
Same. But it’s mainly because i’m not gross
way to call me out
Why use those instead of an oven?
It is an oven with the convection setting turned on by default. So it’s like having an oven but for a regular person instead of the design made for 1960s suburban moms cooking for 10, like the “regular” oven
Faster, more energy efficient and for small stuff easier to use.
Could be placebo but some stuff tastes better than from my oven in convection mode.
Of course, the browning performance is definitely superior and more consistent
It takes a lot less energy and it’s faster.
Being energy efficient means not having to add more infrastructure to produce electricity which is the most environmentally friendly thing we can do when it comes to electricity production. Everyone should have an air fryer so they wouldn’t have to use their oven for small things!
It’s a great alternative if your rental has a gas oven and you are rightfully concerned about the indoor air pollution caused by the burning of natural gas. We can’t change the installed range so we use an air-fryer/ toaster oven on one counter and an electric induction burner on the other. We got a wooded range cover and use it as counter space for food prep.
Fair point! I have an electric oven thankfully. No gas in the building thankfully.
Technology connections did a good Video on the topic, and a comparison between them and normal ovens.
Personally I use mine (which is a toaster oven / air fryer combo) because it’s faster and easier to clean. So if I’m making something that fits in it, that’s my choice
Ty!
As an honest answer, no preheat time. But I have an air fryer-pressure cooker combo, so the air fry is more of a bonus. If you already have a connvection oven, yeah there’s absolutely no reason to get an air fryer.
I use my air fryer a lot, despite having a fan oven also.
The fan circulation is more powerful than in a typical oven, so air fryers are really good at is crisping things up, and doing it quickly.
If you ever get take-out and have left over fries, you can put them in the air fryer and they go from fridge-limp to deliciously crisp in just 3 minutes, it resurrects them perfectly. Can’t get results like that in the big oven.
I still use my little airfryer a lot, even if i have a good oven. It’s big enough for me, it’s faster and easier to clean.
Because the instructions on the bitterballen said so
Well I personally would never. That said I don’t begrudge anyone who uses them. They’re great gadgets for the right person and kitchen. I have a rice cooker for a reason.
