Aye that's totally comparable here to you just wanting some deep fried chips as if they're some kind of culinary masterpiece.I once knew a man who had a deliberately limited existence in a degree of what I would term squalor.
He cooked things in a metal tin on a concrete floor and became quite adept at it, in his own way.
He was fiercely defensive of his chosen culinary practices when questioned, in his zeal finding all sorts of arguments to justify his alternative approach.
Ultimately he was left to it.
I was just happy that I had an oven and other established devices that made food the way I like it.
His methods were certainly not for me but each to their own really.
A device 12 years old and in 30% of homes is an established device.
Air fryers are just ovens so anyone saying they're sh*te are just making themselves look stupid. It is a heating element with a convection fan, literally a fan oven, in a different size/shape. So if air fryers are sh*te, ovens are sh*te. If air fryers are sh*te, grills are sh*te as again, it's a heating element above the food.
You can't use one effectively - that's ok to admit. If you're happy good taking longer in the oven or under the grill and don't want to have it done quicker that's your call I guess, some people struggle with change.
