Why does /ck/ hate air fryers so much?

>>21577914 (OP)
it's oven but it's worse and made of plastic, do the math.

>>21577914 (OP)
it’s convenient and commonly used for frozen manchild slop

the VAST MAJORITY are Old, LONELY, and retarded. Move the fuck on

"Hate" is a strong word.

>>21577914 (OP)
People who can't cook love it because they think that their bag of frozen wings or fries is now restaurant quality which gives them a narcissist ego boost. It's the same in the BBQ world with pellet smokers thinking that they are so great at bbq when all they do is put meat in and hit a button.

>which gives them a narcissist ego boost
I think you’ve been poisoned by therapy speak

/ck/ hates convenience and utility.

I used my sister's cuisinart one to see if reheating mc Donald's fries actually worked better than a deep fryer flash
Texturally it did it almost made it 1:1 but the plastic smell opening it immediately filtered me
I will swear by it reheating fast food as a convection toaster oven if you don't care

>>21577914 (OP)
Forever chemicals or PFOAs.

>>21577914 (OP)
We don't. But it's retarded to cook most of the things /ck/ cooks in them.

>>21578196
Pedo website!!! Always has been!!!

It's quick and kind of handy for when I'm drunk or I want a second oven while my main one's in use

>>21577914 (OP)
>Why does /ck/ hate air fryers so much?
A) most "cooks" here don't anything at all about cooking
B) some anons think you thrown anything in there and it'll be great

IRL, it's a sometimes convenient small convection oven

>>21578200
This, but unironically

>>21577916
Your plumbing in your house is made of plastic

It's a redundant device since most western kitchens already have an oven. These were designed with small chink apartments in mind that only have a stove

>>21577914 (OP)
It's popular. Yes that's enough to make a large contingent of this website hate something a lot of the time. They're just a tiny convection oven in reality.

>>21579384
i drink from copper and shit in plastic, we're not the same.

>>21579384
Yeah and the plumbing isn't being heated to 400 degrees on a regular basis. What a stupid fucking comparison.

They are

>>21578009
>the plastic smell opening it
That's because it's still new. That wears off very quickly.

>>21577914 (OP)
Because it's non-cooking.
It's like someone buying a pre-build pc and saying "I built this pc" when all they did was check boxes.

>>21579566
It was used and she's used it a fair bit so it might be the plastic degrading? Idk but not my thing desu

>>21579981
That's not supposed to happen then. Time for a replacement. A good Christmas gift!

>>21577953
cope, that's exactly what it is. a lot of american psychos have been too good for a countertop oven but now that influencers are shilling quote unquote air fryers people suddenly think the product is doing something that nothing before it could do

it's literally not crispier or faster or anything

and only crazy people buy into cult mentality

>>21577914 (OP)
Because it doesn't "fry" the stuff you put into it, I wouldn't even mind if it bakes food but it also doesn't do that somehow, everything my sister put in there just tastes raw and uncooked

>>21577914 (OP)
I would say its because of the marketing in the name. It really isn't great as a fryer for the things people would want fried (think chicken, fresh fries, and even wings) Its definitely inferior to a deep fat fryer in those aspects. Its really good for reheating food that has been fried and is undoubtedly lower calorie. My wife and I got one from our wedding and its really good for cooking for 2 people as well.

The pedo shit came with the newfags, newfags.

>>21577914 (OP)
Less firsthand experience. Most anons have probably seen ovens used by their mothers and grandmother and gave used it themselves many times.
Meanwhile an air fryer is not as common. Maybe your tech/cooking enthusiast friend has one, maybe one was gifted to your family. In short there is not enough of a cultural past with air fryers to be acceptable culturally. They will have to be around for a lot longer to be considered a "normal" kitchen appliance
That said, they're not anything special. Not revolutionary or anything

>>21580795
It's revolutionary. It makes people even lazier to use their ovens, and now these people consume nothing but processed frozen slop. I'm pretty sure people who have these are fatter than the average person.

>>21577914 (OP)
>super gey
>doesn't work

>>21577914 (OP)
Most people haven't used one, see >>21577916

Air fryers are very good at reheating junk food to be crispy, so like french fries, chicken nuggets, or pizza. Even though alone it will do it faster than a conventional oven or toaster oven (even with convection), you might be saving like 5-15 minutes only, with the toaster oven being faster than conventional since the latter needs longer to get to higher temps.

It's a tool that specializes well in what it does, but isn't the best at a lot of other things like toasting bread or baking, though tinkering with the settings will definitely get you closer (but that requires thought and effort which many hate doing).

I personally am fine with just microwaving to get the whole food hot the fastest, then using a toaster oven to crisp the outside. Having those metal basket trays helps prevent soggy bottom if you got it

>>21580945
We also got one of those nicer air fryers that honestly was annoying to clean, even with the smooth teflony coating. It goes unused by me

>>21577916
its faster than a oven and costs way less energy

>>21577914 (OP)
People act all smug about as if it’s healthier but in reality all it does is encourage you to justify its purchase by eating more fried food negating any benefit it may provide compared to frying in oil.

>>21580955
i just throw some frozen plain chicken fillets in there after work. 20 minutes and wa la. no one says it has to be sodium infused monstrosity food only.

Id use one maybe if I got it for free. But otherwise I dont give a fuck, ovens and toaster oven is perfectly fine if I want things baked/crispy. If you are in such a hurry maybe make something else or plan your meals and or meal prep like a fucking adult. Or just practice patience, because I know 90% of you slobs have no jobs or responsibility to do anything worthwhile.

>>21577914 (OP)
NEW THING BAD! >:(
What >>21577922 said

Its actually pretty cool for quicker meals, whether that be fast food substitutes or simpler foods. It's not a necessary kitchen tool but its not the worst purchase if you're not a poor. Definitely makes more sense for this to be a kitchen staple than those George Foreman faggrills

>>21580991
>George Foreman faggrills
Those can be switched to griddles enabling you to fry multiple pancakes at once which can come in handy when entertaining a larger crowd.

Oven is currently broke so it is a godsend.

Sausages are great in it.

>>21577916
Why is little Timmy always bitching about plastics or seed oils or carbohydrates? You don't see black men bothered about that crap and look at the size and potency of their black cocks

>>21577914 (OP)
You can cook anything in these things. 4x a week I eat chicken skewers with broccoli and rice and it takes about 22 minutes to do the chicken with turning in the middle. People still think air fryers are only for fried sloppa like nuggets and fries which is completely incorrect

>>21577940
>people just put something in a hot device meant for cooking what they put in there and they think they're cooking
Probably because they are. Personally I never air fry frozen stuff but it's useful all the same

>>21577940
>they think that their bag of frozen wings or fries is now restaurant quality
Really, I'd think it was to cook without oil or deep frying, the opposite of restaurant quality.
