Not completely oilless. Try these guys:

<https://www.skinnytaste.com/?s=air+fryer&submit=%EF%80%82>

To be honest, the end of that URL displayed as a non-ASCII character
for me, so it might not work well. I went to skinnytaste.com and
plugged "air fryer" into their search box.

I never said I wanted one or had one. However, you seem to have no
purpose here other than to belittle the choices and cooking of others.
You've outlived your usefulness.

I'm sure far fewer people read her simply because she has nothing of
interest to say. I generally don't see what she posts unless she
reponds to my posts.

Why would I care how corn pops? FWIW, water in the kernel heats up and
makes it explode. It's really better cooked in oil. Having said that,
I don't eat popcorn. I do love grilled corn on the cob.

Yeah, I've never cooked and posted pictures of anything I've cooked in
the last 25 years. Anyone else who believes that please raise their hand.

For the record, I never once even considered sleeping with you. And
you know that. You're the one who somehow got the idea that I was
going to move in with you - and you posted that to RFC just out of the
total blue.

After having met you twice at casual austin.food gatherings 2 or 3
years ago and not giving you any indication that there was any sort of
romantic interest in the least, you somehow twisted that into MY

That was just way too Psycho for me. I sat there at stared at the
screen for at least 15 minutes wondering, WTF? That was just way too
spooky. I've met weird, semi-psycho women before but you win, hands
down. Mapi of austin.general still holds the male title, but at least
he announced his psychosis right there lying on the floor of the bar
at B.D. Reilly's rather than romantically obsessing over me for 2
years.

Needless to say, you need to come to terms with what happened and why
your mind works that way and stop making up excuses for your fixation

Which reminds me I need to df and tar-cz the freezer before I go to
Costco tomorrow.

When I make a new dish for the first time, I usually diff and patch a
bunch of recipes I find on the Internet. And if they turn out well I
commit them to cvs. (Hmm, this actually has practical implications!)

Any other 'computer engineers' want to get in on this?

Were I younger, I'd 'man' up, but I just don't care anymore.

[ObFood] A friend of my wife's gave us two boneless ribeye steaks. I
cut the center fat triangles out, trimmed the thin fat cap off the
edge, tied string around the outside to make the steaks thicker and
rounder and treated the steaks like they were filet mignon. If you
don't like how lean filet mignons are, try this. It's not lean and
twice as big as the filets I rarely get.

Not with mine!! It cooks far more quickly that doing it in the usual way!

The hot air surrounds the food which makes it faster!

I had to google what these are, I hafta admit. Turns out they appear to
be 'zooted up' FlavorWave Turbo ovens - that Mr T used to shill, IMHO.
Table-top convection cookers. I have a Speed Chef (same thing, different
brand) used it several times; the various foods I tried turned out pretty
good, and the cooking times were a bit quicker than in my conventional
oven - but it was a schlep to clean (despite what the adverts claimed)
and quite cumbersome so it ended up in the back of one of my kitchen
cupboards.... and is still there. Maybe the newer versions are a bit
easier to clean but I'll pass.

My MW has a convection oven built-in so I use that when required.

I can roast a chicken or two in about the same time without having to
turn it with a regular oven... I even make french fries from fresh
spuds in a regular oven.. I crinkle cut, coat with oil, and arrange in
a single layer on a sheet pan. For me the main down side of an air
fryer is its rather small capacity... they can't handle a 6-7 lb
roaster chicken. My nighbor has one, she says aside from the small
capacity it's a PIA to clean... something for her next yard sale.

Mine goes in the dishwasher and no problem to clean.

The size is enough for the two of us, but I am looking at an Air fryer
oven

The original Flavorwave and their ilk were essentially blow dryers on top of a non-insulated clear container. It's a rather simple but brilliant idea. They were loud as you'd expect a blow dryer on top of a container would be..

The new air fryers also have a heating element on the top. The fan has bigger blades and a bigger, lower speed, motor which should make it quieter in operation. It uses a heating element similar to one in an electric range. The cooking chamber is enclosed in another metal chamber which is covered and insulated with a plastic shell. The air flows through the bottom, channeled up the sides of the second metal chamber where the heat is recycled.

It is essentially a more efficient, quieter, Flavorwave type cooker that cooks with forced air convection and radiant heat. The main problem with the design is the greatly reduced size of the cooking chamber.

I am waiting to hear positive reviews about them. I have a penpal who
bought one a year or two ago. They used it frequently for a while and
apparently now it sits in a cupboard.

I got one for Christmas but haven't used it yet. It doesn't really fit in with my Asian cooking style. I'll probably try to air fry some chicken thighs. My guess is that it'll turn out tasty enough.

This morning I cooked up an egg that I found in the back of the condo. I'm assuming it's a chicken egg. Wow, free food!

The new Ninja Foodi is certainly getting my attention. Slow cooker/pressure

When it comes to cooking, I guess I'm just an old fashioned guy.

As far as the egg goes, my wife was horrified that I would eat some wild chicken eggs just laying around in the dirt. They are rather small and tea colored. The resident manager/Nazi told me to get them out of there because he didn't want chicks running around the condo. He speaks and I obey but I shall get my revenge one of these days...

I cooked some chicken thighs last night in the thing-a-ma-bob. It was okay. These things would probably work better for folks that like to bake/roast small quantities of food with little or no oil. It's quiet in operation and has digital readouts so you can probably get consistent results once you get a hang of timing and temperatures. My chicken got scorched at the top because of the close proximity to heating element i.e., there's too much radiant heat being given off.

In my case, I'm a fan of frying and like to use a lot of oil when cooking so there's not much of an appeal for me here. Some folks might enjoy using it but as far as I can see, it's not doing anything that can't be done in a good convection toaster oven.

For chicken thighs I just season, put in a shallow pan, toss the pan in
a 375 to 400 oven. Crispy skin, tender meat. Pretty simple and no
space taking appliance.
