Particularly good for stuff like frozen (breaded) chicken strips , shrimps , tater tots , any food that's usually deep or pan fried is a candidate . The only down side we've seen it that there must be a little oil of some kind on (fried) stuff or it doesn't brown well . Ours gets used at least 2 or 3 times a week . We got one for each of our 3 kids for Christmas , they were a big hit . Crispy pizza rolls in 5 minutes ... -- Snag Ain't no dollar sign on peace of mind - Zac Brown |

Definitely not a good idea for anyone watching their weight, will easily put on ten pounds a month by encouraging fried foods. However they are very good for those who don't have a weight problem. Since my wife has had a double knee replacement she ddoesn't want to gain any weight, not that she's overweight anyway, but we decided to eat healthier for the new year so we will celebrate with pot roast rather than oven roast... it's very easy to skim the fat from braised meat. I already have the 5+ pound top round seasoned for browning and then braising manana: https://postimg.org/image/mdgjdlxez/ Who sez top round ain't nicely marbled... WTF does the dwarf know about beef... ZERO! Texass beef must be crap, can't hold a candle to NY beef. The lowest grade NY beef puts the highest grade Texass beef to shame. |

You can do the same thing in an oven, so you don't have to spend the money on another appliance that is likely to end up taking up storage space beside the bread maker, stand mixer and waffle iron. |

We use a hot oven for a lot of things that would otherwise be done in the oven. The oven is already there and paid for. You would have to use a lot before the power savings cover the cost of the air fryer. Besides, whenever we oven fry something we are usually doing something else that will use that hot oven. |

These things work by suspending food on a column of hot air? That's pretty cool. |

I assume that these things operate at around 1600W, which would be the maximum for US appliances. One for the UK could be considerably higher. My guess is that the power savings and speed would be similar to a toaster oven. I don't care much about any reduction in oil. I use a lot of oil. |

Granted, we don't use our oven when it's warm out. Luckily, that's only four months a year. Most of the rest of the time, it just means the furnace runs less. Plus, we're not interested in that kind of food when it's hot; we're all about the grill during the spring, summer, fall, and anytime it's over 20 F during the winter. Our interest in fried food is so small that we just go to a restaurant for it a couple times a year. Cindy Hamilton |

When I do, I'll deep fry many things (on my fry list) for up to a week, then be done with it for another 4-6 months. |

At my local eatery he does great fish and chips but I always send the server in with the message, 'the one who doesn't like it overcooked' and it is perfect everytime. He came out to chat with me once and said that he overcooks the fish because that's how most people like it. You cook try asking the cook not to overcook and see if you like it better. |

You're the one who somehow got the idea that I was going to move in with you - and you posted that to RFC just out of the total blue. After having met you twice at casual austin.food gatherings 2 or 3 years ago and not giving you any indication that there was any sort of romantic interest in the least, you somehow twisted that into MY MOVING IN WITH YOU? That was just way too Psycho for me. I sat there at stared at the screen for at least 15 minutes wondering, WTF? That was just way too spooky. I've met weird, semi-psycho women before but you win, hands down. Mapi of austin.general still holds the male title, but at least he announced his psychosis right there lying on the floor of the bar at B.D. Reilly's rather than romantically obsessing over me for 2 years. Needless to say, you need to come to terms with what happened and why your mind works that way and stop making up excuses for your fixation and disappointment before we become the next Yoli and Michael. I'd prefer you use a sniper rifle on me from a few hundred yards away. There you go - a reason for you to buy yet another gun and ammo. And Jeremy, I was just tired of your decade of bullshit and visions of grandeur about all these things you're "working on" or have not done in the past. Even posting a call for meetings with imaginary people about imaginary projects of yours at "the normal time and place", as if you are somebody important with a life. I'm pretty sure you're manic depressive mixed with habitual liar. Sorry I don't fit either of your Ideal Psycho Pal Profiles. -sw --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

I don't like catfish, but it's pretty easy to get good fish and chips hereabouts. We've got a fair few bars where they really know what to do at the fryer. Cindy Hamilton |
