But I still prefer my chefs oven for "real" cooking. But cooking for more than 2 on the air fryer is a pain. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=7&threadid=188987 2019-10-14T17:29:36 -05.00 Trj22487 9 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=7&threadid=188987 2019-10-14T10:26:11 -05.00 Trj22487 9 Originally posted by: rlh

My wife and I have wanted one for about two years, but we have limited counter/cabinet space. We've made some recent health changes and have seen good results (mostly mental, with let "brain fog" and we legit have better attitudes.) We're seriously considering trading in the crock pot for one of these because people seem to really like them. Air fryers have been around a really long time. I remember them being sold on infomercials in the 90s, and I'm sure they are older than that. Still, I think these smaller units have a slightly different setup which makes the "physics" work better for smaller batches.

Our only real concern is that as a family of 4, will we be able to get enough food out of any of the ones on the market, and would it that make it worth getting rid of the crock pot, which we've used 2-3 times a week.
A family of 4 might be pushing it for an air fryer.  You can make 1 thing at a time, like a basket of fries - which still takes roughly 12+ minutes if frozen.  Could probably get 4 decent servings out of a full basket.

If/when something else needs cooked, the oven or stovetop still needs used - this is my biggest gripe.  It's by design though, as if you had a fry daddy in comparison.  I can't see it replacing a crock pot unfortunately.

Food quality is leagues better than an oven though, and of course not quite as good as fry daddy.  I use mine mostly for wings, nugs, fries, mozz sticks etc.  I spin my wings in sauce and they are exceptional.

For anyone interested, I heavily recommend the $100 Ninja one at Walmart  . ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=7&threadid=188987 2019-10-14T09:12:50 -05.00 Trj22487 9
