So a question. All these crumbed precooked stuff you buy, they have all been fried in oil and then frozen. So does that not kind off defy the argument of healthy air fryer with less oil?

And no I don't care about the oil, if oil is need to make something taste better then so be it. Just asking as many always claim the health benefits.

The only people using airfryers for health benefits are amercians. Not us here. Maybe post your question on reddit.

I would agree with you. Pre-processed (pre-cooked) in this fashion is likely not as healthy as something you make from scratch where you control all the ingredients.

It's a good question but they might have been baked and not fried in the factory.

I don't use the air fryer because it's healthier I use it because it's cheaper and quicker than using oil or the oven.

I can't handle raw meat so I usually cook these kind of stuff in the Air Fryer.

Yeah I don't think any baking was involved. There is only one thing that can make fried food taste like fried food and that is oil. But it does look good. You can see the difference when compared to photos of people attempting homemade "fried food" in an air fryer with no oil

Convenience aside. Fried foods just taste better when they're fried... in oil. Sure, you can spray oil on them and try to airfry them, but it doesn't compare. I'll deal with the extra few minutes it takes to heat the oil, it's worth it.

That said, an airfryer is probably the safer option, over a deep fryer, for kids. They'll eat anything anyway.

Yeah but at R1000 for a liter of oil I will rather stick to my airfryer. Since getting an airfryer 500ml of oil lasts me 6 months.

Currently R37.50 per litre at checkers.

That's a savings of R962.50 for you (R3850.00 for four litres!!!) - you should consider stocking up!
