Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Food, Cooking, and Game Preparation Is there an Air Fryer that doesn't suck?

We got ours at Costco. Big R2D2 looking black egg shaped thing.

The basket is maybe 9" in diameter and 4-5" deep. Fits only two pieces of pizza and only 3 lumpia.

Works awesome, but good luck getting anything out of there without burning yourself!

I like it enough that I'd buy another one if it were more like a toaster oven and I could slide things in rather than fish them out.

Does something like this exist?

You already named it. Toaster oven. Get a convection toaster oven.

Air fryer is basically a convection oven.

Probably not what you were expecting, but there are oven ranges that feature "air fryer" mode now. Haven't looked at them very closely but they are out there.

When I said Air Fryer, I actually meant Oven Range.

Thanks.

LOL

I've seen some that are more like a toaster oven, this one is 20 qt. capacity.
Air Fryer

The Breville Smart Oven Air Pro is the best kitchen appliance I've ever purchased.

I bought it for the air fryer, but we use it for so much more. I've dehydrated in it. I can count on two hands how many times i've used my home oven in the last 3 years or so of owning the Breville. It fits a 9x13 dish, 12" CI pan, and I think I have a 4.5 qt dutch oven for it. It pre-heats about 28x faster than the big oven. It's an OK toaster. It makes great 12" frozen pizzas, and I got a 12x12 pizza stone for it that I've done some homemade pies on. If mine [bleep] the bed today, I'd have a replacement on order today. It is big, and does require some counter space. But it's worth it.

We bought a Chefman mid-size and love it, it is basically a small convection toaster oven. It works great and easy to clean as I ust pop the grates in the dishwasher. Front opening, multiple adjustable shelves, rotisserie, glass face with lit interior, and grease drip pan.

I have a cafe range from GE double oven it's just a giant air fryer .....of course it cost 4 Grand but that's a whole other story

We have a Kitchen Aid electric oven.The convection cooking is the same a s an air frier.

We have one of these and really like it

I opened this thread to post this specific model. Mom and 2 sisters have the same one. Nice thing is it rotates up to sit on its back so it takes up lass counter space.

Only drawback is there's not a lot of vertical room in it.

Use it for Bang Bang Shrimp (see "Crack" thread) and I like to take cheese ravioli, bread it and air fry it. Then dip it in Newman's Own Marinara sauce.

Here you go, just bought this a couple weeks ago.

For the two of us the Ninja Max works pretty well.

Its beehive shaped. We use tongs to turn food over. There have been no issues.

has settings for frying, crisping, roasting, dehydrating etc. Cant be too complicated because i learned how to use it. :-) The unit is just short enough to fit under the kitchen cabinets when not in use.

have prepared french fries, chicken pieces, fish pieces, small beef steaks, bacon-wrapped cheese-filled filets, etc And it can warm leftovers better [for some foods] than the microwave.

Used the dehydrate function to dry some [55] 223 cases I had cleaned. Set the temp to 175 F and the timer for 2 hours. Did get some sideways looks from spouse. :-)

no regrets about this purchase.
