Got a air fryer this month, I love it, cooks with no or just a tsp of oil and makes food taste like fried crispy, delicious. I have made homemade eggrolls, chicken, etc. My husband lives for fried oily food and I have converted him, even make french fries in it that he loves.

    Yum! I've considered getting one but aren't they pretty small? I have a family of 5.

    I've been debating over getting one for months, but I can't figure out the difference between an air fryer and a convection oven, and I'm not sure if it'd do what I want?

    Have you fried any fish in it, would it come out crispy?

    I love mine. Very fast, makes things very crispy and I don't have to heat up the kitchen.

    So taking into consideration that air fryers use less oil than convensionalpan or deep frying, there must be less calories in equivalent foods, right? You just log in the usual fried foods on MPF, but take solace in that your calorie count is in actuality lower than what MFP says it is for given foods?

    I love mine. Of course it's just like the convection oven but it takes less energy to run and your kitchen stays cooler...

    Measure out your oil and your foods separately.

    I have one that now gathers dust...if I want chips (fries) then its gotta be the real thing not hard/dried up/tasteless potato :/ and yes, I tried using all sorts of herbs etc, its just not for me.

    It is pretty good for stir frying veg or cooking sausages...

    Use it for what it's good at, I can get roast vegetables a lot more convenient than using the oven, plus it doesn't heat up the house, which is great when it's summer
