Can we confirm or deny that it is a small oven?

according to the internet, it's a fancy convection oven.

 

[pete]

it's an enclosed basket under a heating element and a fan

ours (a tefal one = the handle snapped off a couple of years ago but we still use it) does those chunky oven chips real nice in about 15-20 minutes, denny veggie sausages in 10 minutes, aldi oven rolls in 4-5 minutes, but the only thing is you have to be careful not to overload it as it depends on the hot air being able to freely circulate.

Would recommend.

They are a very small efficient oven

Removing them, Letting them cool and then throwing them in again for another 2 mins at the end makes for crispy chips

I do the shake and give'em 5 more minutes technique

Never tried one but i'd a quick look on adverts there and plenty going for experiment money.

One i looked at was 1400w

one ring on my hob is 1700w.

yeah, my teeth hurt when i see my wife cooking a single croissant in our main oven.

can you do pastries in an air fryer?

I believe so

The oven here is 2000w - wasn't in the manual and ended up finding it out via the replacement part for the fan oven. It's essentially every oven on the market - there were about 150 compatibles for the part.

Entry level air fryer (oven) is 4L and 1400w
Generic oven is 65L and 2000w

Gonna pick one up second hand soonish entirely for the energy saving.

I'm also going to refer to it as a small oven when i get it


MEANWHILE

I was curious about the eytmology of 'fryer' to see if the word covers ovens (it kinda does)

More interesting lying

To fry

and

to refrigerate (frigo)

are all from the same word.

My fridge is also now an air fryer.

dylan's lyric 'in the ovens they fried' was always like nails on a blackboard to me.

They are a very small efficient oven

Are they very efficient or just very small?

 

[ernesto]

Baked
Roasted

Are they very efficient or just very small?

Both? Well efficient because it is small

 

[ernesto]

Baked
Roasted


Both? Well efficient because it is small

Uses less juice and is also quicker

And are they far away?

Easy to clean as well.

Like if they were 65L would they burn 22000W?

Still thinking about it but as a standalone I think it's more small than efficient, but as an interaction, more efficient

My ma loves the old Ninja. You be at her house with no hint of cooking going on at all. The presented with a plate of roast chicken and spuds etc. "where the fuck did this come from?"

So, good Dif you hate cooking smells.

 

[Cormcolash]

I actually fucking hate cooking smells, every time I walk into my house after work I can smell stupid shit from the kitchen straight away because the housemates didn't open the fucking windows there when they were cooking

Cooking smells are what makes a house smell like a home. Our house smells yum

I don't think headline power rating on a fan oven versus airfryer tells you anything about efficiency. That's only how much power you'll use if you're running the thing at full belt continuously - all else being equal a higher power just means the air inside the cooking area heats up quicker. Heat transfer to the cooking area from the element, heat loss from and volume of air within the cooking area are the things that would matter to efficiency I would have thought

It is only since January that I have started cooking potatoes and frozen vegetables in the microwave. And let me tell you, I feel like an absolute genius life hacker. I reckon the Air Fryer is just what I need to bam it up a notch.
