No air fryer for me.

The air fryer is the las kitchen MUST gadget. My friend Dixie loves it although she is still paying for it.
I will not buy one. And not because it is so expensive.
It is because I prefer food fried in oil.
The last day I was at Dixie´s before her trip, she fried potatoes in her air fryer. I ate a couple because I´m a lady. Dixie cooks very well when the airfryer is not around.
She also had a steamed delicious fish so I ate a big portion.
I don´t fry often. I know that it is not quite healthy. But I will rather fry only once in a while than to airfry food the should be fried in oil.
How do you do it?

I have friends and family who love their air fryers. I do like fried food sometimes, but it's a rare thing around here. I don't need it except for a treat once in a great while. Air fried food tastes really good to me, but in all honestly I have no idea where I would put an air fryer unless I get rid of yet another item, and I have already done that several times. Think I will just stick to what I have now, at least until maybe they invent a tiny, tiny one that takes up almost no room at all.

The only place I could possibly put it, I delegated to my nice bread machine. With bread going up and up in price, I use it often and it weighs a ton, so it just makes sense for it to be on the counter. So no air fryer for me either.

@MarieCoyle My sister, who lives far away from a supermarket, has that bread machine and her bread is out of this world. Surely a bread machine is more important than an air fryer.

I bought one Marga and I immediately tried it to make French fries. The look of the fries was deceiving, the taste even more. My husband told me that if we have to "cheat" with fried food, it is better to renounce to fried food... I brought the air fryer back (cleaned and re-placed in its original box).

The taste of the food was not what I like in my taste. I have a small pot to fry only small quantities of food in oil. And I DO NOT reuse it.

@marguicha Same as you. I fry a little quantity in a small pot and I throw the oil I used. Fried food has a specific taste that the air fryer destroys.

I love fried things with oil. I don´t have them too much but I enjoy them when I do.

@wolfgirl569 I know I can´t have fried food every day. But when I do, I want to enjoy it.

Done by air fryer is healthy than frying by cooking oil. And it'sn you said , expensive.

I prefer to eat fried in oil food only once in a while. I cannot always think about what is healthy, I eat what is delicious in small quantities.

I do not have room for the gadgets I own. I almost never fry but I have heard you can do other things. The other big trend is the Instapot. Nope, I do not have one of those either.

I do not have a regular stove so I use a hot plate for anything I have to make in a pan and have a non stick pan, I think a regular stove which can use oil for frying in a pan is the best but since I do not have this option I was considering an air fryer but still have not made up my mind,

I probably would have bought one if I hadn´t seen how it worked or the price.

I have lots of kitchen gadgets and I don´t much use some. But I refuse to spend money on a gadget that leaves the food taste worse.

We don't fry anything. We bake things in the oven or microwave.

I think the same way as you do.I have fried food very occasionally and when I have one, I want it to be fried in oil the way I am traditionally used to. I don't want another unnecessary gadget in my kitchen in the name of healthy eating.
