Reheating takeout pizza is my favorite. Gets the crust nice and crispy.

Agree with ruddo on fries; it cooks them quiet unevenly. But reheating something like Five Guys fries is great.

Ours has a bunch of food presets, bacon being one. I can line the basket with about 6 pieces of bacon, it cooks at I think 390 degrees for about 8 minutes (after pre-heating the fryer). It turns out good, a little crispy, and not greasy at all.

amazing. i'm getting it out and trying this.. fucking hate frying bacon but do it almost every weekend

If yours doesn't have a preset, definitely google recommended cooking temp/time on it. I'm going off memory and I could be wrong.

We try to merge you're stuff as much as often. Honestly, this can be merged. I didn't know where else to drop it.

Ruddo, scotch eggs?

this post is sooo Food & Dining

is the Air Fryer difficult to clean?

i have no room to put one..counters are off limits and there are too many staubs and le creusets in the drawers

Isn't this just essentially a good, convection toaster oven?

Also, trag has a point. Merge this shit.

By the way, I have THIS. An "air fryer convection oven," which I understand is different than a normal air fryer, and probably a big reason that frozen french fries burn.

I've had my eye on a roccbox pizza oven for awhile now

What exactly is an air fryer? How is it any different from an oven?

Right? I mean, it’s pretty much assumed.

That's just a toaster oven, b

I think I'm officially pro toaster oven and anti air fryer.

why couldn't you be pro both? what a weird take, pete. you're weird.

I googled air fryer and the second article had this quote so I'm just going to assume y'all are lazy as hell:

That’s because cooking on a sheet pan in your oven can give you similar results. But it turns out, the air fryer is fast, easy and convenient. So when cooking in the oven feels like too much work, you might want to fire up the air fryer instead.

It doesn't seem easier than my oven, just faster.
