A chef explaining why air fryers are a scam on r/unpopularopinion
As a chef, itās an insult to hear āair fryers are as good as fryingā. Air fryers are fucking bullshit scams and are just convection ovens with an extra fan added.
Seriously, pan searing or regular baking will always be better. I swear to shit Jared if I hear you compare fried chicken to air fried chicken one more time Iām gonna smack the gob out of you.
Edit: Iām in danger, I never realized how deep the air fryer fandom goes. I will die on this hill
Edit2: Iāll never stop upvoting and loving you all but⦠but Iām just gonna go cry about something totally different..
Edit3: i think id be a lot less upset if it was called an āextra air ovenā as its a convection oven with extra fans.
Edit4: if I had a dollar for every comment āyou clearly donāt own an air fryerā Iād be able to put it towards a new toaster oven.
Edit5: the chances of getting doxxed over kitchen appliances isnāt high.. but never zero.
Edit6: apparently air fryers are taking my job? Sorry boys and girls, no more foi gras for the rich.
