    Air fryer cuts it in half.

    Can I shit on air fryers for a second though.

    How did everyone just accept this horrible example of marketing and branding nonsense? I literally had relatives explaining it to me like it was a magical new way of cooking just invented.

    Its a fucking tiny convection oven.

      1. Doesn’t have to be tiny - there are go full sized
      2. More convection than convection. While there’s not a clear definition of either, companies that do both distinguish them by windiness
      3. Many countertop models don’t need pre-heating!
      4. More automated, no need to think. Just press a few buttons and wait for the ding, like a microwave.

        I love your use of windiness. I will concede that point purely because it made me laugh and it made sense at the same time.

        I’ll pushback on the preheat though, we just got a microwave air fryer combo (awesome saving space) and while it heats up super quick, still have to add a few minutes for preheat.

        Kinda like the difference in boot time from HDD to NVMe.
