The air fryer for me has become a way to much more quickly cook up something as opposed to the oven or stovetop, but without resorting to the microwave.
Even something like a not-so-great frozen breakfast sandwich to eat on the go is way better cooked in an air fryer than a microwave, provided I plan enough to give myself the 10-15 minutes it needs.
I use mine everyday. It's a good way to avoid frying food.
We use ours all the time, we got the ninja one that is like a toaster oven/ air fryer, we use it daily for morning toast, and almost every time we cook, I toss a pork chop i there and some potatoes etc and bake it for 20 mins flipping it half way. I use it to reheat wings and frys when we pick up food and heat themup to give them an extra bit of crispiness as well
Can it replace a bread toaster?
My son is autistic, and eats almost exclusively breaded chicken for dinner (tenders, nuggets and the like), so the air fryer is a lifesaver. I can quickly could cook a small amount of these really quickly. So it gets used adviser l almost every day in our house. I also use it for all sorts of other food fairly frequently.
Got one that is a toaster oven too. We use it daily.
Additionally, it flips up vertically so it takes up much less counter space when not in use.
Bought mine a year ago, still using it every week. Mostly for fries, croquettes and fried calamari.
Convenient to use, and I don't use as much oil as if I was deep frying in oil.
I love mine, but I mostly just use it for chips, baked potatoes, spring rolls etc. I'm never going to be one of these super air fryer cooks you see on you tube.
