      it’s sarcasm.

      Air fryers suck at boiling water. They’re basically anti-microwaves. Everything a microwave is good at, they suck at, and vice versa.

            That’s because it is basically a convection oven

            Technically it’s closer to an impingement oven than a convection oven. I’m surprised Alec didn’t mention impingement ovens at all in the video.

            My full size oven has a convection feature that does the same thing my airfryer does but at a much slower speed since it has to warm up for about 5 minutes first so yeah the airfryer works faster but has a smaller capacity than most toaster ovens as well as all full size ones

          I put microwavable things in my microwave halfway, then in my air fryer to finish.

          Perfect for little pot pies. Gets the top crispy.

        My microwave is bad at walking a dog. Schould I buy an airfryer? Especially in winter, I would like a machine for that.

          You’re attempting to automate pet ownership?

          We’re kinda skipping the whole point, like people that grind in RuneScape?
