the air frier is such a marketing genius, they used an established technology, the convection oven, packed it small and brand it as healthy, now everyone has it

I got one not because it's healthy but because it's literally a small oven for when I don't want to heat the whole big oven

Im seriously considering getting rid of my oven and replacing it with an air fryer and portable induction hotplates.

Only problem is that a frozen pizza wont fit in an air fryer and thats like the only thing I actually use the over for!

Stupid question but why do you like need to get rid of your oven specifically? Can't you just not use it? It's already basically built into the counter space for most residences.

[–] RGB 1 points 2 months ago

Sell it I guess.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

There's plenty of larger tabletop convection ovens that will fit most frozen pizzas. Unless you're making a world record size pizza, you should be fine.

If you don't do Thanksgiving then this is honestly viable. Literally the only reason my big ass of an exists at this point is for a turkey because even though I got one of the probably largest countertop air fryers I could find where I can fit whole roasted chickens and do baking and other stuff it won't fit a whole ass turkey and I don't think I would want one that could that would be just a little bit too much counter space

[–] Slovene@feddit.nl 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, not like a toaster. Over.

For the record, I don't wanna hang out with you when this is over.

[–] zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.dev 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You forgot to say over. Over.

[–] Slovene@feddit.nl 3 points 2 months ago

Wait, I have to say over even if the sentence ends with the word over?

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Toaster ovens were also a thing.

[–] Facebones@reddthat.com 2 points 2 months ago

I use my air fryer basically for fries and thats it. I have a convection oven that's like 1/3/ 2/3 though that is fuckin KILLER for this reason. It saves on energy only heating the top, The top bit preheats in a couple minutes max, and it fits basically everything except maybe a cake or something. Since my breakup ive had to pull out the divider one time.

which is why I have a toaster oven. Way easier in the summer.
