The speed and efficiency of "air fryers" is what sets them apart from regular ovens

Still not worth the counter space though for such a limited functionality imo

At this stage my 10 year old oven isn't producing the same results as an air fryer but it's close enough

Speed is a huge benefit. Never would’ve needed one for myself, but I use it non stop for my toddler. Comes in clutch when he’s hungry and I’ve got some chicken nuggets ready for him in 6 minutes without needing to preheat our large oven and make him wait a half hour. Great for child sized portions too.

Can't wait for that microwave rebrand

Trying out my new steak grill thing on some Costco pork steaks. Sous vide at 140° for 2 hours then under the burner for about 30 seconds a side. Really tasty - good sear the way I like but very tender inside. Pleased with it for a first attempt - and it’s really cold outside so about the worst time to use it.

With Sweet Baby Ray’s, some frozen veg and air fried sweet potato fries.

Konnan, man you stay with all the new cooking toys.

You can add the same crisp in an oven. An air fryer is a mini oven. Brands successfully marketed that product well. I hardly even use the air fryer that was given to me.

You can but an airfrier is faster and more convenient.

So I’ve had an air fryer for like 4 years and only used it once then put it away. Is it worth the counter space

It depends on how big your counterpace is and how much you use it. I use mine a lot so it's a staple on my counterspace.

Think I gotta start using the Blackstone to finish these sous vide steaks. Kitchen in new house has poor ventilation. Whole house starts smoking up once the cast iron gets going, and that's with windows open, slider open, fans going, etc.

 

[Comparison Ford]

Yeah I never sear anything indoors anymore. Always just put a cast iron on the grill outside.

Congrats on the new house though.

 

[heelsandeers]

Ventilation is undervalued

I'm lucky my system has a short path/duct to outside so it works well despite being fairly basic

 

[DCAllAfrican]

A window in the bathroom is highly appreciated.

If you have one of those, more power to you.

What oil do you use? maybe use one with a high heat point like canola. Only take s about a min if the steak already sous vide to get a good char. Maybe skip the butter finish and just make some compound butter instead.

Bathrooms without windows?! Who don't got one of those?

Even prison cells have those

aside from basements what bathrooms don't have windows

 

[ahat]

What? Yall really never seen a bathroom without a window? Its actually common in apartments/condos...

 

[Comparison Ford]

Yeah my past 2 apartments didn’t have windows in the bathroom.

 

[23soles]

Yeah my past 2 apartments didn’t have windows in the bathroom.

Same here. Just got a new condo that has one over the tub though and it’s a game changer for sure.

This. My apartment doesn’t have windows in the bathrooms.

 

[Mark Antony]

I've seen as much bathrooms without windows as with. Weird thing to be rolling over.

Been buying pre-ground illy espresso from Amazon since getting an espresso machine this summer and prices are through the roof

I normally get a 6-pack of 8.8 oz canisters. $46 in August, $54 in November, $64 when I checked today

Trying out other brands in the meantime. Lavazza for 33% less and Medaglia D'oro for half price

Medaglia sort of reminds me of an Italian Folgers but I guess we'll see

Buy directly from a coffee roaster for best taste. You can get the whole bean and grind it yourself or there is usually a option for the roaster to grind it before shipping. Any beans will do I prefer the chocolate taste of dark roast for espressos tho

Not against it but mainly aiming for convenience and cost effectiveness over the best cup

I only have a cheap blade grinder I use for drip but don't really want to bother with it for espresso

Have to admit it has been nice not grinding. The nitrogen or whatever they use does a solid job

Chipotle chicken salad is one of my go to under $10 lunches. Of course it's not same as authentic Mexican but hard to beat around my way for the price, you can load up on grilled veggies, rice and lettuce for no extra charge lol.

Well said.

Some people on this chatline feel like they are above eating @ Chipotle for some odd reason.

As if every meal they eat is from a 5* Authentic Restaurant.

 

[heelsandeers]

Chipotle is barely offensive compared to some of the chains this thread defends
