I'm not fond of pork fats but my niece requested to have some so I just heated it using an air fryer. I tried frying it using a nonstick pan but the fat burned. I saw better results using the air fryer. Do you use air fryer?.

I don´t have an air fryer and after eating the food that my best friend cooks using her, I won´t buy one. I prefer to eat only a few times some food but doing it the usual way than to bake them instead of frying them. I specially hate French fried potatoes cooked there.

@marguicha You think the same my friend. I bought one and the day after brought it back to the store. I prefer to eat fried food only once in a while, but the real thing.

Most people who are used to frying their food with oil will rarely appreciate food cooked in air fryer.

I love our air fryer, it's a life saver when I get hungry at odd hours. It saves me time and requires minimal cleaning afterwards.

Oh yes I agree with you... It's also healthier to cook food in air fryer.

True that. But I must admit that some foods are better cooked over fire.

@MGjhaud That's true, like there are foods that are enhanced with oil.

The smell is more when you fry in an open pan.

NO, I bought one, tried it and brought it back. This is not ham it's thick bacon, I would grill it to get rid of the fat.

That's how I see it it's bacon but the store says it's ham lol. It's not the same as the conventional ham.

I think air fryers are super handy. I even have some parchment liners made specially for the air fryer basket, which makes cleanup even easier.

@florelway I think of it more as a small convection oven than a fryer, even though it's called an "air fryer".

I also find it convenient to use and tine saving. Some do not like the taste but for those wanting to avoid fried food this is best.

@cacay1 yes, actually we use this to cook french fries. We have a boarder before who prefers her fries cook in air fryer because she cannot eat fried food due to her gallstones issues.

I'm ashamed to say that I bought one about 2 years ago, and I have only used it twice. When I cook, I prefer my tried and true methods. Besides, I rarely make fried food.

@florelway I know, but I rarely eat fried food. I used it to make Brussel sprouts and to toast a piece of bread

It's an alternative to fried food where you can fry without frying.

Some do not like cooking in an air fryer because the food lacks taste but if the food is too oily this is good.
