Air Fryer

What does everyone think about those new Air Fryers that are all over the place these days?

Next week I will be 3 months post-op & to date I have stayed away from ALL fried foods... I have no issues cutting up a sweet potato & making myself a few fries by baking them in the oven, but I keep seeing Ads for these fryers & I really want to know if I'm getting suckered or if it would be a good purchase.

Thoughts?

  • My wife bought me this for the holidays. It works very well, the meat is nice and tender. Next holiday season I am going to buy her a Sawzall.

  • I looked up hundreds of reviews last night on Walmart.com. Apparently, they're the real deal. Especially the Farber brand. I'm going to get one myself.

  • I love mine. Cooking time is a lot less than a regular oven & If u follow it's instructions, the meat comes out tender. Sent from my VS986 using the BariatricPal App

I've wondered about the air fryers myself

Yea - Like, if it's going to be just as bad as eating something fried, then I don't want anything to do with it. I've worked way to hard this far!

I tend to overcook my meat a bit (not on purpose, just bad at gauging cooking times) , but my NUT suggested that i use a condiment to moisten up, since we can't drink while we eat.

Just an update... I ended up buying one & I absolutely love it. I probably use it 4-5 days each week! So easy & absolutely NO oil!!!


I just used mine tonight to make sweet potato fries. Absolutely AMAZING. I bought the T-FAL Actifryer. GREAT machine. You can see what's cooking and it spins. LOVE IT
