    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.

      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

          So many of the things that people cook in these nasty little grease machines are processed garbage.

            nasty little grease machines

            You mean the machine that is… an electric heater and a fan?

            are processed garbage

            Meat and cheese rolled into a tortilla? Just sounds to me like you’ve got some kind of grudge against these things.

              Agreed. They smell like fryers. And they are for making fried food. Not allowed in my house. Nasty.

              Perhaps that is broadly true. Mostly my oven gets used for baking biscuits. Sometimes I’ll make a lasagna or very rarely a casserole. The only actual dietary sin that takes place there is the occasional pizza. I’m not perfect, I do eat pizza.
              There are no taquitos or chicken tenders or wtf-ever frozen garbage in my home or my oven.
