Airfryers

What’s this whole halabalooo going on about Airfryers? I hear its an awesome product? Anyone here used it?

How is it different from an oven ? and why do they keep saying it needs no oil but then in recipes it says you still need one tsp oil in an airfryer.

Can anyone who has used it , review it for us please?

Re: Airfryers

They take ages to 'fry' anything and everything's as dry as a bone. Bleurgh. Plus it's another thing to have cluttering up your kitchen counter.

Re: Airfryers

My wife and I use one extensively, yes you spray oil on whatever you want to fry this way.
We have used it for making french fries, chicken wings, whole chicken , chicken legs , leg of lamb etc. They all turn out good always. It is good if you are frying something which has bread crumb or any other quoting because when you deep fry those item they soak up a lot of oil but in the air fryer you get good results without lot of soaked up oil in the quoting.
And I must say they never get bone dry in our case.

P.S: we bought it when our deep fryer broke. There are still many items which you need to deep fry therefore we ended up buying another deep fryer also.

^ we bought one few days back and I didn't like the fries in it :(

Re: Airfryers

Thanks Mirch for the detailed review. Do you think its different then having an oven?

I mean , in my household, we do everything including fries in the Oven. With either just a drop of oil spread around or no oil. I am confused , why people are buying airfryers when the exact same purpose is being fulfilled by the Oven. Or am I missing out on something here?

Re: Airfryers

Which brand do you have? So far I was a bit reluctant to give one a try but your review is tempting...
