Today Show has a deal on one, $89. Steals and Deals.

Anyone have experience with anything like that? Might be
a good thing to have if you don't like the lingering oil
frying odors.

that's an interesting thought. Since it does use some oil, does
cooking in a confined space eliminate the smell or just concentrate
it?

A friend of mine got one and was quite excited about it, but she quickly
lost her enthusiasm for it.

I really don't know, but one thing, what I don't like about
indoor frying, isn't as much the smell as what feels like
lingering grease. I know I said odor.

Anyway, I was just curious if they were as advertised.

It wasn't really fried.

We do a number of "oven fry" things in our oven. I imagine that it takes
a little more electrical power to heat up the oven enough for "frying"
than the air fryer, but I think the marginal cost difference would not
be as much the cost of the machine. From what I have heard about them,
they are basically mini convection ovens.

My guess is that you could get the same effect by using a grid with open, skinny, wires to suspend the food. You can place it next to the fan in an oven with convection features and get similar results. That might make a neat gizmo - you suspend the food in the air with minimal surface contact. Perhaps a deflector could be added to create turbulence and redirect hot air back onto the food being cooked.

I asked about this 'fryer' back in the summer if memory hasn't
failed me. I remember you said a friend had gotten one but
quickly lost interest and I was afraid I would, too. Just
something else sitting around and taking up space and I can
get the same results in a convection oven.

To me, they're just another shiny toy that you use a few times and
then forget about. I belong to a very small FB food group and the
founder seems to be the gadget king. If it's shiny, new and
mechanical - he buys it. Apparently he had an air fryer but didn't
like it, so he traded it for some kind of garden tool.

Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them.

I think it all depends on what you will settle for. My husband and I
prefer very crunchy fried foods, but most people don't - so you might
like it, but I know I wouldn't.

I am writing from Canada. I purchased a $69 air fryer made by Toastmaster from walmart.ca online, and I have used it almost every day since I got it a couple of weeks ago mostly for fries as potatoes are rich in potassium which I need. You use very little oil, and there is no odour. The basket has holes so when you shake the potatoes part way during cooking any excess oil goes through the holes. I have also used to it reheat casseroles. It's a great appliance.

I agree. Those are the reasons I like my Air Fryer although I've never used
it to reheat casseroles yet

A tire store that sells cookware ? That must be a really strange place.
I'd go check it out if I was in Canada. I guess it's really no stranger
than sears, who used to sell houses, and a lot of other crazy stuff.

In the early 50's Sears sold the Kaiser Henry J as the "Allstate"...at least the vehicle was a small step up from Crosley, lol...

Canadian Tire is similar to the defunct Western Auto stores in the US, a brief wiki:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Tire

"Canadian Tire Corporation, Limited is a Canadian retail company which sells a wide range of automotive, hardware, sports and leisure, and home products. Some stores also sell toys and food products. Retail operations include: Canadian Tire, the core retail and automotive service operation, which operates a large car repair garage in each store; Canadian Tire Petroleum; Mark's, a mens, womens, and work apparel retailer; sporting goods and sportswear retail conglomerate FGL Sports; and PartSource, which retails auto parts and accessories. The company's head office is in Toronto, Ontario. The retailer is known for its Canadian Tire money, a loyalty program first introduced in 1958, where customers are provided with coupons resembling paper money worth 0.4% of their purchase that can be used in subsequent purchases as scrip at Canadian Tire stores and gas stations..."

I'm sure the ever - garrulous Dave Smith will eventually chime in Canadian Tire...

Henry J. Kaiser was big on this rock. He dreamed up the Hilton Hawaiian Village which has grown to be one of the largest Hotel complex in the world. He also came up with Hawaii Kai which is an ambitious residential development in East Oahu.

When we were kids, we used to see these little runabouts on the streets. We used to play a game where we'd count the ones we saw. It's kind of a deathtrap but what a fun way to go!

I have had Toastmaster small appliances that have lasted 60 years. (I don't have an air fryer, tho.)
