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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
