If I ever decide to off myself in the bathtub, I’m using my air fryer instead of my toaster. So the people who find my body know that I owned a air fryer and nobody else can have it cause I took it with me.
He died how he lived….frying.
I don't own one

We have a ninja foodi 8 in 1. It's not big enough to fry a whole chicken but it is also does duty as a regular toaster oven and folds out the way so it doesn't take up too much space. It's pretty good, not life changing but it does crisp things up pretty good.

Does it cook faster than an oven? Like how long for a whole chicken?

Yes, it cooks pretty much everything faster than in a traditional oven - meat moreso than vegetables. A five pound chicken, pretty typical around here, will cook up in about 45 minutes, 50-55 if you want crispier skin. So, roughly 30 - 45 minutes faster depending upon how you bake your chicken (high heat with periodic basting? or low and slow?).

Usually high heat since I don't have much time after work for cooking if I don't want to eat too late but I never cook chickens that big (5lbs) since my girlfriend is vegetarian so I'm all alone with the kids on it. I usually buy 2-3lbs, chickens, the cooking time would be really readuced.
You got me interested, always looking for more cooking gadgets to speed up time like an instant pot or a slow cooker that I setup in the morning
Thanks!

Download their manual and inspiration guide from the website. A few chicken breasts will cook very quickly.

as far as my understanding, an air fryer is just an oven but with convection turned on
in other words, it's an oven
air fryers are a great way to prank someone though
hey you want some coffee?
sure i'd love some coffee
you pull the handle of the airfryer and its not coffee its fat free french fries
gotcha

WHAT BRAND AND MODEL DO YOU HAVE? Tefal Actifry Original Plus
HOW USEFUL IS IT? Used daily, has auto stiring for fries, wedges, nuggets, all that kinda jazz or you can remove the stirrer and use it normally for everything else.
WHAT DO YOU COOK? everything that can be air fried or oven baked
IS IT JUST TRENDY CRAP? no, works great, quicker than oven, much less fat.
IS IT REALLY BETTER THAN A TOASTER OVEN? yes
HOW DO YOU KEEP IT CLEAN? most the parts are dish washer safe
WILL IT MAKE MY CHICKEN FINGERS CRISPY IN A SHORT TIME SPAN? yes, crispy crunchy goodness

It took my next door neighbours sometime in the night. I know, because there were blood spatters just on the inside of the fully adjustable temperature control knob.
It will come for me when the moon is full tonight.
Pray for me.

Use for popatos, chicken and pancceta. Works really well. I use to make healthy food for my mother without using salt or oil at all.
The only problem is you need to master the time because there are some inconsistences in the time they recommend and the high noise of the Air Fryer.
Meat with lot of fat usualy make smoke, so take that into consideration.

It's the GOAT kitchen appliance. My blender and microwave despise the air fryer because it hogs most of my attention.
That being said, I don't think they're great if you're preparing meals for 4 or more people on the regular.

Gets the job done. We use it pretty much only for french fries. The other day I made a grilled cheese sandwich in it and it was fine.

I have exactly this crappy air fryer model
It's like someone said, a small compact and practical electrical convection oven.
I cook almost everything in it. From French fries, chicken breasts, bacon stripes, pancetta, onions and some other veggies, cheese etc. Preheat for some minutes, throw everything in there and voilà. Meal is ready in 10-15 minutes. They are somewhat loud but they don't smoke (at least my doesn't).
It's one of the best kitchen appliance you can buy. It isn't better than your og oven, but it's healthier (they are constructed in a way that simulates the frying aspect of the food without usage of oil and the fat from fatty foods tends to drips off to a separate compartment of the pan) and way way more practical and easy to clean than your oven.

Just got a cheap one from an online place over here that rebadged generic Chinese versions of stuff (Kogan). I find it handy for when I’m cooking something in the oven at a lower temp but want something done hotter and have it ready at the same time, e.g. reverse searing steaks and want to do some crispy potatoes with them. I basically like to use it as a second ‘turbo’ oven.

When time is an issue (every week night for my family) i can chop up some potatoes, throw them in, and they are done in less then 30 min. In that 30 min I can hit the bbq with some chicken and fry up some broccoli on the stove and have a nice meal for 4 people. I can't do that in the oven, it's not fast enough, I have to mind what it's cooking in the oven as well. It's an appliance to improve speed and efficiency for those of us who enjoy food without spending an hour cooking.
