Buddy15 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I need a new toaster oven and I'm thinking of getting an air fryer/toaster oven combo. I love to cook and I'm worried I might not use the air fryer. People who have one tell me they love it and no longer use their ovens. Anyone with a combo care to comment on their experience? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ LIguy Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I had 2 Cuisinarts and as far as cooking they were awesome but not well made and difficult to get parts....I now have a Ninja and it's ok but things don;t seem to get crispy. I also have a Ninja Foodi Grill which is awesome,,,,it airfries,bakes,roasts etc. but it has a smaller cooking space than the toaster oven type.

MikeBiDude Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I’ve never air fried before…never been a fan of those, crock pots, InstaPots, etc. Prefer my standard cooking appliances and small wares I’ve invested in over the years. I cook a LOT. I had to replace my over the range microwave due to some remodeling recently (new range/oven/hood). I ended up buying a countertop Panasonic MicroWave that is combo microwave/convection/broiler/air fryer. I told myself don’t expect too much from the “combo” type product. Well, I have been surprised at how much I use the air fryer and how well it works! Chicken breasts, cauliflower, potatoes, etc. I’m having a blast with the air fryer portion of this microwave! I’ll be trying more. Very cool feature of this microwave, a one touch “sense” feature that warms up leftovers etc. by sensing the steam coming off them. I was skeptical, but amazed that 9 times out of 10 it’s heats perfectly. + FrankR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbar123 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 I’ve declared a moratorium on countertop plug in appliances that take up a lot of real estate. Now that I’m no longer working and time is not of the essence I’ve ditched the crock pot, instant pot, toaster oven, ice cream maker, etc etc and have gone back to the cooktop and my convection wall oven. Not missing any of that stuff. MikeBiDude, craigville beach, Becket and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handiacefailure Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 I wasn't able to open the article without a NYTimes account but I have a ninja foodie that has the airfryer as one of the settings and I use it a lot for things like sweet potato fries and frozen things you would normally put in a a deep fryer. There are just some things that require oil that they don't work for like hush puppies and fried green tomatoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Recognize this is a little late but have some insight to share. I bought a Breville Smart Oven Air about five years ago and love it. I've only used the air fryer feature a couple of times and it was OK. What I like is it uses less power, heats up more quickly than my oven, and throws less heat into the kitchen than the oven does. I can bake a couple of chicken breasts and roast vegetables or kale using the oven feature. It also does a nice job broiling, which is helpful when I don't want to run down to the grills in my building's courtyard. It is big enough to roast a small turkey or a turkey breast. The current model is called the Joule, I believe. To me, it is worth the price and the space it takes up on the counter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ LIguy Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I have the Ninja Foodi grill which also has an airfry selection and it's awesome. Chicken very crispy whether I use a coating or not....lamb chops grilled are delicious and juicy. I also have a Ninja combo oven/airfryer/toaster which I was given for a xmas gift and the oven features are great but the airfryer not so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that, wait until your electric bill arrives. Even though it is not a lot of money, the extra electricity billing runs about one hundred dollars each month. Actually, I think the extra hundred bucks is worth the money considering the time and work I saved by using an air fryer. Bravo to the person or persons who invented the machine. I use it almost every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really just a small convection oven. If you're cooking for one or two it's quite useful. While the basket part is easy to clean, the machine itself is much more difficult to clean well. That's the only problem I have with it. Lots of great YT videos on using them for all sorts of things.

Since I just cook for myself now, it's dong almost almost everything I need to cook, except stove top soups/ marinara.

They are recalling 2 million units because they have a nasty habit of catching on fire. You can sign up for a replacement unit. When you go to the recall web site they have a panel that says they have plenty of new units waiting to ship. But, before they will accept the online application for a new one, they make you send a picture of your old unit with the electrical cord cut off.

+ Lucky Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Actually, they make you send three pictures. Although my model is recalled, the BN number is invalid, or so they say. I think Cosori is making consumers go through unnecessary hurdles and I can't wait for the class action lawyers to get involved. samhexum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fedssocr1 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 It's only certain models that have been recalled. So you need to make certain yours is in the recall list before you chop the power cord off samhexum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handiacefailure Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I use to only eat hotdogs in the summer when I can make them outside on the grill but they are reall good in the airfryer and almost as good as those cooked out. Preheat the airfryer on 390 for a couple minutes and then cook the hotdog for 9 minutes turning it every three minutes and for the final three minutes drop a buttered hotdog bun. Something else I really like is Red Baron french bread pizzas. Seven minutes at 400 degrees MikeBiDude and samhexum 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ tassojunior Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Only difference I've found between a convection oven and air fryer is the heat/fan in on top in an air fryer and on the side in a convection oven. Never been much on fried foods anyway. The one cooking appliance I could't do without is my old crock pot. Throw some chicken or roast in it with veggies and wine and come back for supper. (and lunch next day). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becket Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Just got my first air fryer. Boy have I been missing out. I love it!. Though how it can cook a perfectly crispy skinned chicken thigh in 15 minutes, but needs 20 minutes for frozen potatoes is a great mystery. But it's a great tool. Compact, cleans up easily; and as stated earlier, generally faster than the oven. Can't wait to try more things in it. + Lucky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
