Is it me or are these people not believable?
Title is misleading.
I've tried three of these over the years. Finally I determined I was just addicted to gadgets. I'm back to stove top skillets and my regular oven (and microwave) – with superior results and much less time spent than monitoring my air fryer results or having to cook in batches.
Have you tried brevilles rotating basket?
Great informative video! Thank you!
What about the ninja speedi, it’s a lid type buy it steams and sous vides, how do you beat that?
Can't wait for the crispy air fried cricket recipes! 🤢
Toaster oven combo air fryers are made of stainless steel Healthy non toxic. Air fryers have Teflon coating which is bad news
I love that air Fryer, works great but unfortunately the coating is starting to come off and I'm aware it is very unhealthy. Is there a stainless steel version?
I love the shrug at adding smart tech to air fryers 😂 about as close as this woman is going to come to calling something f***ing stupid.
You girls have really got me doubtful….
I have been set on a rotisserie style airfryer for use with chicken ( also other pork roasts) that i as dane prefer and fries im basket of course and also backing…. But can you confirm that a rotisserie airfryeroven is simply wrong before i return to the traditional airfryer model my wife gave me before i returned it….. Best regards a foodie guy from Denmark
Even that big airfryer you’re using holds enough for one person to airfry properly.
What size liner fits the vortex plus 6 quart?
Thorough review and great speakership.
Why is the "Buy our winning air fryer" link not the same as in the video review? Liam…
Adding Not-So-"Smart Technology" to an air fryer so it can call some authority to ask permission to run?! Did no one watch "Runaway" with Gene Simmons and Tom Selleck?
What about how loud it is when cooking , I have the older square model that has the door that opens down and the rotisserie basket, and it really sounds like a jet engine when cooking?
I thought about getting the Instant Vortex – but there are just too many negative online reviews about the plastic smell and this actually contaminating the food… pretty surprised that this is your number 1.
Have you found any good dual basket fryers? I’d like to be able to cook 2 things at once.
Is PTFE nonstick coating safe?
PTFE, the chemical predominantly found in modern nonstick coatings, is considered safe and stable when used properly. However, lingering concerns about current nonstick cookware revolve around heat levels.Aug 11, 2023
This worry me!
Thank you for this review. I am happy that the recommendations did not change because, as you pointed out, it makes them stronger ❤.
I absolutely appreciated the tips! And I am thrilled that you have a team dedicated to air frying. Where, or how, do we access your recipes please? I would love a cooking channel (or at least a series that is added to when new recipes are created) dedicated to air frying ❤.
Thank you
