Almost makes two different French fry (his and her) at the same time. It's great.

My fragile masculinity has been struggling with ungendered potatoes, thank the heavens for this revelation!

[–] Midnitte@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Well, I did say "almost makes" to be fair

But it can also make his and his, her and her, they and they, and even them and them potatoes. It's quite versatile.

Sadly, it doesn't make throuple potatoes.

The only thing this meme is missing is some double deepfry filter.

[–] urda@lebowski.social 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It can literally fry two things

[–] sit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago

It does and it can

[–] CodingCarpenter@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I should have bought this version. I got the single basket and I'm telling you man when you want to double fry french fries it takes for fucking ever

[–] Supervivens@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Nah the one with the glass door is where it’s at. We have it and it’s great. Can both air fry, bake, toast, etc. and there’s multiple large racks.

The ninja foodi. It’s a bit pricey though so you may want a slightly different version

Nah man it's a Ninja Foodie

It's totally different from an oven because... Reasons...

[–] biggerbogboy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Only really in name (convection oven), other than that, it basically just cycles hot air around the inside, cooking faster and more even than ordinary ovens.

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is that different from an oven with air circulation?

Ah yes, everyone's favorite brown jacket man.

I think I skipped that video, will go watch it.

[–] biggerbogboy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I got no clue, its probably not that different in that aspect at least.

[–] Jericho_Kane@lemmy.org 1 points 1 year ago

An air fryer is basically an oven

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Interesting, I have to bowl-like version and I wish I knew that was a thing beforehand.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What if I came over and cooked crack in your air fryer.

[–] LemmyFeed@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

I better get half

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I'm torn hard between instant pot + air fryer vs just air fryer. can fry two things tho...

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

That Ninja company has a model called the Foodie that is an all in one air fryer/pressure/slow cooker. It's absolutely fantastic. Granted I have my trust crock pot that I found at a yard sale for $20 but that option is there.

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 3 points 1 year ago

If you can afford it, get one of each. The ability to cook rice, vegetables and chicken all at once it's pretty amazing.

What kind of cooking do you do? Do you tend to bake/fry a lot of things? Do you tend to cook a lot of things on your stovetop? Do you like to slow cook things? Do you like to cook stuff that needs to soak/marinate or otherwise needs a lot of time?

Things I make in my instant pot: rice (white or seasoned), beans, seasoned proteins, stew, soup... All ready quick without soaking etc.

Things I make in my air fryer: frozen food, convenience food. I make rolls/toast in mine too, but I'm not sure you can do this in a typical air fryer. (I have a secondhand Breville air fryer.)

My advice to you is, whatever you decide on, to buy secondhand. Both appliances you're considering are popular and are somewhat easy to find used. You will save a lot of money and if you decide you don't like it, you can pass it back on to the used market and not be out as much money.

Instant pot can make way healthier meals. Cut back on fried food and start making delicious, healthy soups! Bonus is that soups store really well in the fridge AND freeze really well, so you can do big meal prep really easily with an instant pot!

Edit: instant pot is also really great at making rice and pasta! People even use it for steam-baking with the pot-in-pot method (but that’s a bit advanced)!

So do they make one that doesn't send "u up?" dm's to Xi Jinping or no?

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i’m still waiting on a non-plastic air fryer

[–] ODGreen@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

laughs in cast-iron pan from 90 years ago

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i’ve been wanting to get into cast iron pans for a while now but it’s been hard to switch from stainless steel. it just feels wrong to have a kitchen with no cast irons and i do love how long cast irons last.

[–] ODGreen@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 year ago

I found one once in a kitchen of a place I moved into. Cleaned the rust off, seasoned it, used it. When the time is right and your heart is ready, a cast iron pan will find its way to you.

Carbon steel pans are also pretty cool. You also gotta season them and care for them. But they can have thin bottoms so they heat up quickly for stir-fries etc. Traditional woks are carbon steel.

No more non-stick cookware for me. Too paranoid about PFAS.

Someone doesn't reheat their tea in the airfryer
