  2. Didn’t know eating healthy could be so easy. Love being able to load it up with fresh veggies and walking away. No need to stay in the kitchen to supervise what’s cooking MyBest.Kitchen Takes no time learning how long to cook and at what temp. If you are cooking for 1 or 2 people this is a great size.

  6. I held off on an air fryer for a very long time. I'm disabled and if I knew what I could cook in that air fryer back then I would have purchased one the day they came out! I make stuffed peppers and omelets and meatloaf and pretty much anything I can do in my oven only faster.

  7. I have a toaster oven that has a convection setting, and to me that seems like the best of both worlds. You get the "mini, self-contained convection oven" perks of the air fryer, but without needing to buy a whole new appliance, since a toaster oven is also something that's good to have anyway, so the device isn't single-purpose.

  13. Our toaster oven is starting to fail and I came across this video while researching a replacement. The question occurred to me: "should I replace the toaster oven with a slot toaster and air fryer?" Would appreciate any thoughts. Thx.

  15. I would highly recommend a air fryer to parents of small kids, if you often cook food for just one to three people or often cook with very limited time.

    My lunches when I study at home, and my leftovers has really improved with the air fryer.

    I barely use my microwave for anything anymore except defrosting.

    Because the air fryer is almost as fast, just as convenient, and makes things actually more delicious instead of the microwave that tends to sort of make what ever goes in a bit worse.

    I personally prefer it over an toaster oven. I just think the food taste better in the air fryer and it’s more convenient. Though they have slightly different uses.

    The result you get of the food tasting in comparison to the time and effort you need to put in, is pretty amazing.

  17. I really like these videos but here, there, and everywhere nobody looks at how much functional counter space/cabinet space you have. I have about as much space in my kitchen as a small trailer kitchen set up, with no power outlet that is easy to get to. While I'd like a lot of the stuff out there, I just don't have space.

  18. Had a Phillips air fryer for the past year. It's great except like many on the market, it's got a non-stick coating which is horrible. Not worth recommending due to this. Manufacturers need to get rid of their dependence on that toxic stuff.
    It taints your food. Going to switch to a stainless steel. Reputable review sites should not recommend these products.

    Got a Breville toaster/convection oven that's got this same coating. Just recently changed out the pizza and baking pans to stainless steel and the taste difference is remarkably noticeable and there is not that toxic smell leaching out like before.

    Do yourself a favor and don't get anything with non-stick coating, no matter what they try to tell you about it being safe now. Rest assured, IT'S NOT!

  19. just like what I thought. before I tried to figure out the working method of air fryer.I thought it's a new technology that improves our cooking, But later I found out it's just another convection oven where they use a fan to circulate hot air around the food.they probly have smaller space that make their cooking more efficient.

  30. I find it funny how I learned about air fryers because i started looking up the idea of cooking food in a high pressure environment. Thus you put the food in pretty much an oven then increase the air pressure by injecting hot air until you get like maybe 5 bar or higher. Thus you try to mimic the heat transfer rate of hot oil by just increasing air pressure.

  31. I have a four-quart Nesco roaster that I use for meatloaf and well, roasting. It also does a fine job of keeping food warm and goes from 250 to 450. I make jambalaya in it, steam puddings in it, stuffed peppers, etc. I also have an 18 quart that I can actually bake in and I use it for turkey, ham, and ribs. Considering I only fry about once every three or four months, and I have a Nesco, I don't think I need this. Thank you for an excellent video and helping me make up my mind.
