404: Asian jailbait not found

How often do you go through oil? That adds up over time if you are using a tablespoon or two vs. several cups at a time.

Add in the cleanup and health benefit and it's not *as bad*. I'm sure they will drop in price as they gain market popularity.

I change the oil in my fryer only when needed. All of the taste of frying is in what's left over in the oil after you fry. And then, when I'm done, I have some tasty biofuel!

Really, you don't have to change the oil that often unless you use it for fish very often.

Got one from HSN. Hopefully this is a worthy purchase.

404: Asian jailbait not found

I want an airfryer so I can make fried chicken everyday.

:$

 

[RossMAN]

For Pot-Stickers, I boil/steam them first. Then I brush them with some olive oil and throw them in the Airfryer for another 5-10 mins just, enough to start browning them.

If it's that easy and the results are delicious, I might drop $200 but for pot stickers.

What other (easy) foods is this good for?

 

[Red Squirrel]

How messy are these to clean though? Or do you just leave it as is since it gets really hot anyway?

One of the big thing that keeps me from wanting to use kitchen gadgets like this is knowing I have to clean it after.

How does this thing fry air?

 

[Bacstar]

So far, I've made chicken wings, brauts, chicken thighs, chicken nuggets, hot dogs. Anything that probably comes in a box and can be baked or fried, can be done by the airfryer.

Tried fresh cut potato fries and chips, but I can't seem to get them right or maybe the airfryer just not the right thing for that kind of thing.

So how is an AirFryer different than an oven or a toaster oven? You just spritz oil on it & bake right?

I'm convinced.

you guys are over-thinking the potstickers. you steam and brown them in one pan, rather than dirtying two.

Been pondering one for a while. Wish Costco carried it. Kitchen appliances like to break down on me about 30% of the time..

 

[ManBearPig]

So how do the people who have bought these like them? They seem pretty sweet.

cast iron is best for pot sticker :awe:

It is great!

It seems optimized for cooking frozen food. It does a awesome job on fish and chips.

I'm happy with the purchase.

So does food come out like it's actually been fried or is it just oven food with a sprinkle of oil on it?

I'm interested in cooking wings, fries, fish and such and find that using a deep fryer simply uses too much oil. I'm not totally sold on how close the results to deep frying would actually be.

That's what I'm wondering. There's a turkey fryer on Amazon for $125:

http://www.amazon.com/Masterbuilt-23...dp/B00BWKN0HC/

They have an oil-less version (uses 1/3 less oil) and an oil-free version. I've always wanted to deep-fry a turkey (because I've had it and it is freaking delicious), but I'm afraid of burning my place down. $125 is pricey for a singletasker, but you could use it year-round for turkey, ham, and chicken, plus as a basic deep-fryer for other stuff. I'm sure having deep-fried food that often isn't super good for you, but it's probably better than McDonalds :awe:

Deep fry on the lawn so you set your grass on fire instead of the house. I mean, if it tips/overflows.

Uh, high-end multi-million-dollar swag pad in upper Manhatten then? :awe:

Those have patches of grass in a container out on the patio

also concrete construction, so you'll just have some minor damage that your trust fund will take care of. no more excuses. Drop that thawed turkey in!

I have a turkey fryer and have done one. It was a gift. The turkey comes out great but if you're using say Peanut oil it's definitely not cheap to run. Even using cheapo canola oil gets expensive when it takes that much oil to deep fry a turkey. The added cost is significant, maybe 20-40 dollars to fill it depending on the size and oil type used.

When I do wings, I can only get a few uses out of it. I simply can't filter out all the flour and other crap from the oil to keep it from getting nasty. Paying more upfront for these oil-less fryers to get similar results and use less oil longterm will be a cost saving move.

I am hoping Quebert and the others that bought one can stop posting in a Zimmerman thread long enough to tell us how the fried food is! :biggrin:
