Air fryers
Added 2024-11-10 21:49:58 +0000 UTCAlright. Time for this I guess.
I, uh, well... yeah. I think you get what I mean. No Effort November got off to a bit of a slow start. But there's more coming, and fairly quickly.
Captions for this one should be finished by tonight. I'm gonna release it publicly tomorrow.
I love and appreciate you all.

In case you haven’t seen it, there’s a ytp remix of this that’s pretty well received: https://youtu.be/E-mfFOmnYcA?si=enxPSXXUX5V4Y3Hr

2024-12-06 04:18:42 +0000 UTCNice explanation! I agree that appliances should be simple and not do stuff we don't know about...

2024-11-27 17:55:00 +0000 UTCActually conversation at my house— Want to watch a YouTube video about Air Fryers? Not really. It from Technology Connection. Oh, then YES!
Sara, no h
2024-11-18 00:33:56 +0000 UTCNice video, but I think it's not giving credit to the most important reason why I use it for basically everything small enough to fit in to the basket: energy. Maybe this is more of a European issue, as we mainly use full electric ovens, but heating up a much smaller room much faster and cooking much faster (has to be) a big energy/money saver.

2024-11-16 22:21:18 +0000 UTCI have a Ninja flippy-uppy (as in you can flip it up on its backside to make more counter space) air fryer/toaster oven, and yes, the toast mode makes terrible toast, but the air fry mode (450ºf for five minutes) makes perfect toast. Go figure 🤷

2024-11-15 17:45:15 +0000 UTCThis video was great! I have a Breville toaster oven (which also has a convection mode) and my wife and I use it way more than our full-sized oven. It's pretty much the greatest kitchen appliance I've ever owned and now I want to get an "air fryer" basket for it. I will say, this particular model makes toast better than any toaster I've ever owned (and I've owned a lot of toasters over the years). And that's even without buttering the bread first, which I just learned from other commenters here is a thing, and it's now a thing I need to try!

2024-11-14 16:30:30 +0000 UTCOh, my poor, poor summer child! The reason toaster ovens aren’t making good toast is because in a toaster oven you can (I’d argue should) butter the top of the bread slices before toasting. Then they’ll come out toasty and moist. Incidentally, this is also how I make toast in a full-sided oven in broiler mode – albeit in a broiler pan so the bottom of the bread isn’t exposed in that instance.

2024-11-13 19:10:40 +0000 UTCIt’s a bit on the spendy side, but I absolutely love the ninja double ovens (DCT-651 in my case). Essentially, through the magic of buying two of them in one, you sidestep the tradeoff between toaster oven and air-fryer.

2024-11-13 04:25:58 +0000 UTCIf nothing else you probably saved our air fryer. We were annoyed that there was a ridge on the top that would collect crumbs and stuff so I just put a silicone tube in there. Worked like a treat, but probably also blocked the air intake - that I wasn't aware of until you pointed it out on yours - to quite some extent. That probably wouldn't have prolonged its life and might even have been able to cause a hazard,

2024-11-12 18:22:55 +0000 UTCWhat's the brand and model of the cheap air fryer? I am interested in trying out air fryers, but dont want to spend much

2024-11-12 17:39:15 +0000 UTCSometimes I love the little differences between UK English and US English. In the UK, we call an oven with a fan a "Fan Oven" or sometimes "Fan Assisted Oven". From what I learned in high school physics, convection is the natural movement of heat within a gas or liquid caused the tendency of hotter (less dense - fractionally lighter) particles to rise above cooler denser particles, which consequently results in transfer of heat in a general upwards direction. I'd point to Alec's Lava lamps as an example, bit they haven't warmed up, even by the end of the video, because it's N.E.N. So from that definition. I assumed that a "convection oven" was an oven without a fan i.e. using natural gravity/density induced movement of the air. However in US English it seems mean an oven using a fan to force the air to circulate around the food, so please imagine Tom Hanks in Big, when I say " I don't get it?" I have googled it, and most explanations just state convection oven means using a fan. A couple of explanations use the phrase "forced convection" which sounds like an oxymoron to me. UK English has it's own share of stupid terms that we are stuck with. My house uses hot water pumped through water to air heat exchangers in each room. These use natural convection to spread the warm air around the room, yet we call them radiators. If anybody wants to see a deeper dive inside a cheap air fryer works, see Big Clive's "Total teardown of an ASDA air fryer".

2024-11-12 13:09:49 +0000 UTCI won an air fryer through work a few years ago and until then just assumed it was another appliance I wouldn’t like (I absolutely hated my Instant Pot) but instead I love it and I use it all the time. It’s also a lot nicer to use than an oven when it’s hot and humid outside.

2024-11-12 02:59:45 +0000 UTCAdd a teaspoon of canola oil to the fries before cooking in the air fryer and they will crisp up.
Brett Walton
2024-11-12 00:37:11 +0000 UTCJust had to replace my electric range and the new oven of course advertises an AIR FRY! feature as well as standard convection fan. Curious if there is any difference like the fan cycling on and off in convection mode as yours did, or maybe the fan runs faster in AIR FRY! mode. Something tells me regardless, I'd be better off with one of those little counter guys for my fries.

2024-11-11 22:11:50 +0000 UTCI have that same Black and Decker oven. And yep, same thoughts. Terrible air fryer, but it cooks Jack's pizza in record time!
PiraTed
2024-11-11 18:35:11 +0000 UTCIf you pre-butter your bread, you get perfect toast from a toaster oven (and my Instant Vortex Plus, which doesn't really have a basket). I prefer it because you get fully melted warm butter evenly spread, even starting with hard butter. Even better with English muffins!!!

2024-11-11 14:52:14 +0000 UTCIf you want freshly baked, fried or whatever stuff straigth fromt he oven but the portion is so small it doesn't warrant using the oven, air fryyyyyer to the rescue! That's how we use it. And for that it works. Tadaa!

2024-11-11 11:36:53 +0000 UTCThe basket-ergonomics is what scores. The 2 cascaded colander/insulator baskets with a nice handle facilitates the handling of fries lot for me. BTW: i guess the "fryer" part of the name derives from this basket-handle, which creates the "deep fryer" feeling, due to the vertical handle.

2024-11-11 04:03:10 +0000 UTCIf you can, please do a follow-up video on Connextras about the commercial-grade cousins of "air fryers": turbo ovens. I imagine you'd have to find a restaurant willing to let you shoot some B roll with their turbo oven since it's not exactly an appliance that you can buy two of (or probably even one of).

2024-11-11 03:48:46 +0000 UTCSo much effort! Suggestion: float switches! Incredible little guys who save basements from sewage and floods! And let stock tanks refill automatically!

2024-11-11 02:28:11 +0000 UTCFun one for ya. I bought a heatpump 2 years ago. This week, the fancy internet-connected touchscreen thermostat died. No light. Totally dead. No response to touch. Checked breakers. Fine. A/C guy came in, unplugged the float sensor on the drain, and it came to life. He snaked the drain and all is well again. NOW WHY THE @#$&* IS THAT THE RESPONSE MODE in the thermostat? It's got a 5" LCD, why the hell could it not put up an error message instead of rolling over and playing dead? Because this is still 1860s era technology in spite of being a brand new 19 SEER heatpump. The thermostat has no connection to the float sensor. The float sensor operates by CUTTING POWER TO THE THERMOSTAT and thus shutting off the A/C so nothing overflows. Yay. Advanced technology. Whoo.

2024-11-11 00:16:06 +0000 UTCI wonder if there's a fan that can be put in a "normal" oven to make it an "air fryer" or even put it in a normal toaster oven to convert it to air frying?

2024-11-10 22:23:55 +0000 UTCThis video came just in time! I'm moving to a place with a larger kitchen and was considering getting one. I wish so much that there was a device that could be a good toaster, oven, and air fryer all at once but I see how that's not really possible.
Tyler Compton
2024-11-10 22:16:01 +0000 UTCI got an air fryer due to not having an oven, nor the space for one, in my one-room student apartment's kitchen. I'm quite happy with it, I've even used it to make homemade pizza (works kinda ok) and muffins (perfect). Frozen mini pizzas and the like also work quite well. I like how quick it is, even without preheating. If a recipe says "roast the veggies in the oven for 30-40 minutes" I know that 10-15 minutes in the air fryer will suffice.
