Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Air fryer yay or nay

Buy the 6 qt min....do bac, to back frys ..oil wins hands down...it ain't nothing but a small covetion oven. I had on in the shop and used it all the time .... but I had a gas oven down there, since we moved into the house with the ge Cafe range...it sits in the pantry.

Check out what the difference is between an air-fryer and a convection oven.

I've had a convection oven for about 40 years and use it four or five times a week.

We have an air fryer and an instant. We use the air fryer almost daily.

Have to regularly clean out the grease that accumulates at the bottom.

My wife and kids love our air fryer.

Going to get an instant pot.

Our air fryer is in the spare room along with all the exercise equipment..

Chicken thighs will never be cooked in an oven at my house again. Rub them with your favorite seasoning and put in the air fryer at 400 for 12 minutes and flip for another six. You will not eat a juicier piece of chicken.

For me, everything cooked in ours tastes like it has stale dust taste to it, for lack of a better description of the taste.. For me its not a pleasant taste. My wife loves it. I don't, and I won't miss using it in my life.

We use ours fairly often. It's a bigger one and my 3 kids are still smaller so it works for the 5 of us. Did chicken strips and waffel fries the other night and had to do the fries first the wait 12 minutes for the chicken. We have a large walk in pantry with lots of shelf space or I probably wouldn't have bought it.

I can't recall when I ever wanted to fry up a batch of air.

Yay, but takes up valuable counter space. Good for FF', and vegetables like asparagus and green beans if you like them dry and french fry like.

If you like wings, get one. It’s the only thing I use ours for. Well, maybe sweet potato on occasion.

You should. I put frozen venison roast chunks in, cover with water, add spiced, and 90 minutes later it's like pulled pork, but lean.

i want to make this. https://foodiesterminal.com/instant...dyFCiOw4TsymYtwV8X9DI7OSIKMsTG0AzSZ-SIuU

its worth it we have the ninja air fry plus grill, two of us, we have cooked almost everything in it even a pork roast. Well worth the money.

I bought a instapot last year, brought it to deer camp, everyone went out and bought one when they got home. I love it

I'd sure like one but counter space is limited.
I don't know if I'd get rid of my George Foreman Grill, my Hot Dogger, my Fry Baby, or my BassOmatic blender.
Stumped.

The instapot... I call it the miracle pot, mostly cause I can't remember instapot and it drives my wife crazy... instapot idiot, instapot!... no, it's a miracle how it cooks the food (with an idiot look on my face)... wife gives up.

Anyway the instapot is way more useful than the air fryer. I don't have to thaw meat, turkey breast, whole chicken, roast, pork... put it in frozen and it comes out great. I learn about how much extra time needed depending if it's frozen and if I want to shred it or slice it. Beans, refried beans, mex rice, stew, chili all are great.

It's a miracle pot.

Next question!

Barney I like the looks of your stuff. But I wouldn't eat those Fritos unless it was a survival situation. They will start a fire and will keep you alive and warm with the amount of oil they can hold. I do like the airfryer but mine is an early one which is too small. The instapot is a great tool for us empty nesters though. Be Well, RZ.
