Opinion on Air Fryers?



Recommended Posts

So the air fryer in your opinion, a lot of people that I know who got it done said it’s amazing especially my nutritionist for if I crave any fast food in the future it will be an excellent go to. Do you guys use it or not?

I do. I bought my air fryer 2wks ago and i cooked salmon, cod, chicken breast and tenders, pork chops, steak, bacon, plantains, brussel sprouts and asparagus. It cookes very healthy food with very little or no oil at all.

There's so many varieties.

I bought a cheap one and while it cooks most things that are easy back when I used to make chips it would only cook the top layer and would have to move the chips around to get even frying I guess the heat only came from above...

We have a cheap small one that's perfect for us. We also use it for SO many things!!! It's totally worth it and I love that I use very little extra fat in it!!

I use mine for a ton of stuff! Basically anything pre-made I heat up in my air fryer. Great for meats and veggies too. Highly recommend.

I love mine. Even bought an accessory set that had a rack. I roasted potatoes and asparagus on the bottom and a pork chop on the rack. So, three different foods at the same time. My favorite is crispy wontons - delish and satisfies the crunch beast!

I used to use mine CONSTANTLY for frozen, bagged food or for making wings. I rarely use mine anymore. I personally find I like real foods prepared on the stove more than in the air fryer. Maybe if I had a bigger one, I'd be more inclined to use it, but mine is too small to feed my family.

We use our air fryer frequently. We just made garlic roasted cauliflower in it. Hubby uses it to make chicken wings all the time. We have made home made onion rings, okra, and squash as well. Tip! Use olive or avacado oil pump spray and lightly spray the food to get that crispness. Dont use the aerosol cans. They tend to gunk up and ruin your air fryer.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
