Air fryers - but are they any good?

Tater Tots. 'nuff said.

[Red Badger]

We have two ‘air fryers’ my wife bought and I don’t like either one for ‘frying’..................

[Mr. K]

Air fryers are awesome!

Reheat pizza like new

[Grampa Dave]

End of season or whatever Sale!!

[Harpotoo]

Ask George Foreman:-)

[Leep]

I’m waiting to get one for $5, or less, at a yard sale.

[Red Badger]

Try Goodwill or Salvation Army....................

[Newtoidaho]

This is what happens when you have the most incompetent extremely stupid people in the history of humanity running the country and ruining the economy. Massive uncertainty everywhere.

[Red Badger]

They’ll all wind up at Goodwill, Salvation Army or Catholic Charities Thrift Stores...............

It dried-up my salmon. I’ll broil it from now on. It messes up the insides of the toaster oven. I would say frozen french fries are ok but carbs are not good.

The solution to the imaginary problem. Own nothing and be happy.

You’ll just rent that air fryer for $0.35 for the night. A drone will deliver it and then pick it back up.

Isn’t that convenient? No worries about buying a defective unit or having it break right after the warranty’s over. Owning is such a hassle. Just think how small your kitchen could be if you merely didn’t own any small kitchen appliances.

A $0.50 cleaning fee may apply.

That’s what the crazy left wants.

Make sure you get a multi function air fryer. Mine does bake, fry, toast, convection and it’s always in use. Especially in summer because it doesn’t heat up the whole kitchen.

[Jamestown1630]

We bought one a few months ago. So far, it hasn’t done as well as we had hoped, but we’ve only tried a couple of things and there’s probably a learning curve.

[Pollard]

Continuing on that. Request an oil fryer and they deny you because of your health record but are kind enough to offer an air fryer as a healthier substitute.

“Reheat pizza like new”

I will have to try that next. Did you know in Scotland you can order deep fry pizza? They also deep fry candy bars.

[T.B. Yoits]

These larger companies believed they could build programs to forecast demand and control flow so they laid off entire teams of planners, allocators, forecasters.

Well, their systems did exactly as programmed and now they and their vendors are screwed. Buyers and programmers absolutely refused to look at topside caps. How many of anything can you sell before the used market competes with the new market or you've really just sold the item to everyone you possibly could?

The retailers are going to force the vendors to eat some of the markdown costs.

2020 and 2021 were boom years for sales of a lot of home items. 2022 continued the trend up until about May and then it dropped off to 2019 trends. Much like 2008, expect a lot of these items to end up in desperate and glutted yard sales as we continue our decline into Jao Bai-din's recession.

Son-in-law gave us a top-notch air frier for Christmas. Too bulky, to awkward, and doesn’t cook food any better than standard frying.
