That’s true. I own a frying pan and an oven.
Health benefits don’t really concern me. I’m in no hurry to get anywhere so the time benefits do not apply to me. I never deep fry things. I think I’d sooner buy a rice cooker.
Dude, you should get a rice cooker. I’ve never had so little trouble cooking rice before. And as long as it’s not a weird batch of rice, it always comes out near-perfect
Energy usage is the only consideration for me. It hurts a little when I have to fire up the oven, knowing an air flyer could do it more efficiently. I do use an induction stove for everything else though and that shit is efficient.
Sometimes you want to cook things at a different temperature which is where I find the air fryer comes in handy. Also for pretty small quantities the air fryer is essentially just a mini oven that heats up quickly.
If you have a massive kitchen with multiple ovens then sure the air fryer isn’t overly necessary, but my kitchen is tiny and its the only realistic way to have multiple ovens - the air fryer has 2 compartments with a removable divider so I can use it as 1 small or 2 tiny ovens.

It was certainly overhyped, but i can’t say i’m opposed to anything that’s: Lower energy usage Quicker (Allegedly) healthier

We have two normal sized ovens. I still prefer to use the air fryer. If only for the fact that it only takes about 8 minutes to make pizza rolls
Taquitos also take 8 minutes in my air fryer at 380°F.
So many of the things that people cook in these nasty little grease machines are processed garbage.
You mean the machine that is… an electric heater and a fan?
Meat and cheese rolled into a tortilla? Just sounds to me like you’ve got some kind of grudge against these things.
No different to ovens then
Imagine someone telling you they prefer cooking on an open fire pit then use an oven.
Who doesn’t love open fire cooking though?
You don’t?
More power to them. I love it when I get to use a flame to cook, as long as the fuel is wood or charcoal.
That’s true. If I had the time, space and weather for it, I would charcoal every day.
