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.
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!
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
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’ve also owned a few different brands and it is true for most of them. They even say in the instructions to preheat for 1-5 minutes depending on the brand.
Thank you for your anecdotal evidence. It’s also not hard to just Google and see that you are wrong. Trying doing that next time before you look like a fucking dumbass.
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.
Why use those instead of an 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.

It takes a lot less energy and it’s faster.

Technology connections did a good Video on the topic, and a comparison between them and normal ovens.

Most air fryers still need to preheat for a few minutes for best results.
Also some ovens now have an air fryer setting.
I have owned several air fryers. This is not true of any of them.
I’ve also owned a few different brands and it is true for most of them. They even say in the instructions to preheat for 1-5 minutes depending on the brand.

No need to be rude, there pal.
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
