10 min? Vs like 3-5 min in the drive through, but I can do other shit while the air fryer’s going.

Oh, I'm not advocating McDonalds breakfast, but I remember them taking like 20 minutes in the oven. I'm not a morning person, so I do not plan my breakfast 20 minutes ahead, lol.

I'm using the tools I have. 🤷

Air fryer cuts it in half.

Can I shit on air fryers for a second though.

How did everyone just accept this horrible example of marketing and branding nonsense? I literally had relatives explaining it to me like it was a magical new way of cooking just invented.

Its a fucking tiny convection oven.

Its a fucking tiny convection oven.

It's marketing. They know Americans won't buy an oven, but we love frying things.

It really is fun listening to people tall about how it can fry things without oil, scientists finally cracked the code!

  1. Doesn’t have to be tiny - there are go full sized
  2. More convection than convection. While there’s not a clear definition of either, companies that do both distinguish them by windiness
  3. Many countertop models don’t need pre-heating!
  4. More automated, no need to think. Just press a few buttons and wait for the ding, like a microwave.

I love your use of windiness. I will concede that point purely because it made me laugh and it made sense at the same time.

I'll pushback on the preheat though, we just got a microwave air fryer combo (awesome saving space) and while it heats up super quick, still have to add a few minutes for preheat.

Kinda like the difference in boot time from HDD to NVMe.

people downvoting the shit out of you for speaking truth to Big Homemade Hasbrown

shit takes a minute guys, its ok that not every feature of a home made thing is superior to McDonalds

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I'm not sure why I struck such a nerve, lol. I just got frustrated because I'm not a morning person, and hashbrowns eggs and bacon take forever! And I can't get the timing lined up, since I'm half awake, so screw it. Bagel and coffee.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Air fryer for the win. Think of it like your microwave: pop the food in, set the timer or use a program, wait for DING! It’s not just faster than regular oven but no preheating and more automated so it’s easier

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

That's when you throw it on the oven and then take a shower. Just gotta time it with what you normally do half awake in the morning.
