    Air fryer tip: Don’t get the really big ones. The strength of the air fryer over a regular convection oven is that it’s small, so it gets really hot, really fast, all over, and cleaning is easy.

    Manufacturers have started putting frying baskets in toaster ovens and calling them air fryers, except they’re not as good at the things you want an air fryer for. They take longer to heat up, they don’t “fry” as thoroughly and they’re harder to clean.

    If you already have a toaster oven, or have use for one other than air fryer things, you could buy the basket and use that instead to save money and counter space, it’s just not gonna be a great fryer. But it’s still an oven.

    Also, just another related unsolicited kitchen advice: Don’t buy kitchen appliances with touch interfaces or even just touch sensitive “buttons”. Specially ones that you touch with your fingers coated in grease from frying things.

    Thank you for attending my Ted Talk.
