You don't need the gadget. You can make these things with a normal stove and oven. As someone who cooks a lot someone gave me one of these for xmas. It's a damn convection oven. A tiny one worth way too much money. Learn to use the appliances you have and stop with the useless gadgets.
It is a convection oven but most people don't have a fancy oven with a convection oven. Yeah you can make it in the oven but it comes out better in the air fryer and mine heats in literally one minute, I can use it in summer because it doesn't add nearly as much heat to my house, etc. It's way more convenient than using the massive oven for a plate of fries or something and I can even cook an entire pizza in the air fryer I got using the bake setting, which again is just much easier and more convenient for me.
Cooking with an air fryer is so fast and brainless,, and certain food turns out perfectly in it. Salmon, Brussels sprouts, tofu, fries, chicken nugger, frozen veggies, baked potato, just some examples. It's not the same as using an oven. And I don't like cooking or dishes so I end up making way more food at home since I got the air fryer.
The only thing I use my oven for now is pizza and bacon
Food is also just way healthier air fried, so much less grease
Usually I would agree with the useless gadget argument but have to say hard disagree from me on this one
Fine. When you're poor and having a hard time with food the last thing you need is a couple of hundred dollar gadget so you can cook. Healthier in an air fryer than any oven or stove top...not likely.
