AIR FRYERS...BEEF/CHICKEN/FISH/PORK/LAMB...Reviews, Recipe Suggestions or Criticism?

We love our air fryer! Philips large model - I bought it at 75% off when I was an employee. We cook lots of stuff in it! Just finished frying up some tofu cubes we use as croutons/protein on our salads. I'll be grilling 2 ahi steaks for dinner tonight. My wife's favorite is tater tots cooked in there.

Yup huge and cumbersome not easy clean up as advertised. We found putting parchment paper in the basket helped. Advertised cooking times were bullshit not even close estimates for cripy fries or crispy chicken. Save your money and use a good old fashioned oven.

Myself, I find mine suitable for what I do.

It sits on a shelf out of the way.

My gas oven sucks up way too much propane, we don't even do a full size turkey for just the two of us,

the air fryer is way more efficient in all respects, want to try a whole chicken in it some day on the rotary.

I see the great meals you make up, that is not me, sadly, would love to eat anyone of the ones you do.

I have to watch my weight, don't want to get the lard back on after all this time.

I have slowed to a crawl over the years, have to adjust life to suit.

It was common for me to work 12+ hours a day for decades, now just 4 hours a week.

Mrs Inor saw an air fryer and "had to have it". I never refuse her a kitchen goo gah. We've only had it a few months, but so far it has done a pretty good job. I'm not even sure what all she has made with it beyond fried chicken, french fries and tater tots. All three of those are pretty good. Although truth be told, I still prefer fried chicken made however she used to make it. That is not to say air fryer fried chicken is bad; it's just not AS good as however she used to make it (in my arrogant opinion).

Would I recommend getting one? Sure, if it makes the Mrs happy. But if it broke and Mrs Inor was not screaming for a replacement, I probably wouldn't replace it either. How's that for a ringing endorsement?

Went with the Ninja Air Fryer.

Cooked a 1lb Bison Burger for lunch that was perfectly medium rare with a nice crusty char on both sides. Was mildly impressed.

Tonight I'll have a 1.5 lb Ribeye. Waiting on the steak to get to room temp. Will take some pics of this one for you knuckleheads.

Perfectly cooked medium rare with a descent char. Should have let it rest more but Mrs Slippy and I had to start eating it.

I like a more robust char on my thick steaks so I'll try and figure that out. But overall I'd say 2 Thumbs Up

I really think that boy needs stabbed a couple more times . . . or his bell put back on his neck and returned to the pasture.

Not me. Hit the cow over the head, drag it across the hot coals, and put it on the plate.

^^^ That ^^^

(Or just hold it under a heat lamp for a couple minutes.)

Pastor D,

My Dear Lord and God as my witness, that steak was NOT the best steak I've ever eaten...

but it was most certainly in the top tier! Still like the Iron Skillet versions better but I'm a fan of this Air Fryer thing-a-ma-jig!

I dunna know, for simply cooking 1 steak, a hibachi with charcoal tastes way more gooder. Or cooked with wood for that matter.
