smart man.. Or he wanted an air fryer & Now its been on the channel he can write off as a business expense! so he got the sales tax for free, & cleaned out the freezer
All of these foods shown in this video are exactly what I imagined Tylers normal diet consisted of. I will admit though I wasn't expecting the Dino Chicken Nuggets but I'm happy to say that I'm not surprised.
Pro tip; a very light brushing of oil on each side of most breaded things you put in the airfryer eliminates dryness while also not making everything soggy.
Too be fair there are so called devices sold as "air friers" that work like that.. You put a tiny bit of oil and it will constantly mix it around while it is "frying"
Imo it's kinda hard to compare they each have their purposes. Personally I find i use my air fryermore often. I have the power xl vortex pro it has a rack system and rotisserie system rather then just a basic basket. You can fry whole chickens on rotisserie or I have the rotisserie skewer set up that I just made country ribs with and boy they were amazing. But if I wanna make something like a casserole then obviously the regular oven is the way to go that's why I say it's hard to compare they are each in their own realms. Also with air fryer it's more convenient for many foods then preheating and essentially using way more either gas or electric to use a oven to just heat up a single portion of one or two thing's.
I agree, the big thing for me is the air fryer is convenient just because of how quickly it can preheat. When I get home from work its much more convenient to quickly throw something in the air fryer and go shower than it is for me to wait for my full sized oven to preheat.
At first I was thinking “But he’s counting the revolutions and he knows what side is which when he gets done spinning the plate” and then I was like, this dude thought an air fryer used oil that circulates. And then all was right with the world.
I like toaster ovens, but they don't cook evenly on larger things, i have one that fits full sized pizzas and one end will be softer than the other (i prefer rising over thin)
I depends on what you're making like with the air fryer like if you're making something with toppings it'll blow it off and with the toaster oven they take longer but they won't blow things off
An air fryer is basically a small convection oven. It cooks by circulating hot air around the food. It's somewhat better for you, due to that the grease drips down off of the food.
Yeah it's basically a toaster oven. Nothing about frying. To fry, you need oil. Fancy name used to market. Guess you're just not as fancy when you say "let me toss it in the oven" vs "let me air fry it" or something.
An air fryer makes a huge difference. As clearly illustrated in this video. I use both and an air fryer makes a huge difference when it comes to certain foods.
Every god damn time, I wonder why I'm here. And yet, every god damn time I am here. Asking the same question. And I'll be here next time, asking why again 🤣🤣🤣
I like the extra crunch, but the added bonus was that it the air fryer heats up in 3 min & it cools down quickly. Not changing the temperature of the whole house in the process.
air fryers are just scaled down convection ovens. most homes only use a conventional oven. convection ovens were mostly used for restaurant or commercial uses.
Tried explaining this to my father because he kept bragging his new oven comes with a conventional, convection, and an air fry setting... I tried to tell him he got duped and over paid for extra settings.
Long story short: the air fryer is really good with smaller meals. The oven is probably going to be better, or at least more efficient when cooking meals for a family or multiple people. The air fryer would also be quite a bit cheaper to run over time.
Depending. My oven stopped working. And had to save up for one for a year. Bills and such came first. We used an air fryer that whole time to cook meals for a family of five. Mainly four. Five including my step brother when he came over. It’s not hard to cook big meals for family dinner in an air fryer. And when I was able to go and buy a oven I got one that had an air fryer in it. There’s other things about the oven we got. It’s funny especially on certain holidays/celebrations it will turn off. But it’s easy to cook for a big family meal wise with an air fryer. That’s just my experience with it. But if the family is way bigger than five then yes oven is needed !
The air fryer typically requires more time for certain things, I've made fried boneless chicken with a mayo wash and breadcrumbs, wrapped in bacon, fucking perfection. But it did take longer than it would in an over
@@IvyBrooksHobkin No it doesn't unless you get one with a defective thermostat. On the contrary you can turn up an air fryer higher and the fan allows more even heat distribution but even better, it practically heats up immediately so there is no 10 minute pre-heat like with a normal oven to reach the target temp. I can cook most things in half the time in an air fryer, start (including starting to pre-heat the oven) to finish. However, it's extreme stupidity to choose to air fry, then use a may wash, and bacon. Idiot, the whole point was to reduce fat not to self contain the more dangerous types while a deep fryer would have dissolved away some of those and replaced them saturated into the food with healthier vegetable oils. Hopeless ftards!
I've seen Tyler set things on fire in his garage. I've watched him beat the living crap out of the mannequin. I've watched him blow things up in the backyard of his subdivision. And the one part where he FINALLY went way too far, was where he said he puts pizza rolls in the microwave.
You forgot to mention that an oven takes time to come up to temp and it heats the kitchen. I love the convenience of the air fryer and the very minimal clean up.
I've been using a air fryer for 2 years now and I love it. Nothing can make better fries than a air fryer unless you have a convection oven which is exactly the same thing. It cooks better because the hot air is circulating around the food instead of just coming from top and bottom..
Anything that is “better deep fried” is better in a air frier then a oven. Also a plus on an air frier is the fact that it’s takes much less heat to cook food. So it’s a much better choice on hot summer days to not over heat the house
I'm curious which kind of oven was used for the test. Since I'm wondering how well that would hold up against a convection oven, which also has a fan and circulates the air.
Rofl, well... I, like you, have been told by numerous friends to get an air fryer, and I've had no desire because my oven works perfectly fine. You, though, have just sold me on the advantages of the air fryer without even showing how to use one. You're good lol. Looks like you stayed up all night to bring us this video ;)
Important question for this comparison: Are you using a conventional oven or a convection oven? It will make. Huge difference for the items you tested on.
An air fryer is a convection oven. In australia we have fan forced bake and fan forced grill. same concept as the air fryer, it's just built into the oven.
@@greatleader4841 and that was my point of asking. I have a convection oven and have been telling friends and family that the air friers are essentially mini convection ovens.
@@Mustang8867 We have 5 settings here, all the fan forced ones and traditional ones for the ovens. Saves needing to buy a convection oven and other appliances when it comes all in one. The instructions on food also have "oven" and "forced air bake" with time adjustments for it.
HAHAH man just had such a massive laugh on YOUR OLD PERCEPTION OF AIR FRYER, haha OIL AND AIR. Thanks so much for the minor laughter in the day, didnt laugh entire day.
12:49... My bet on those last two being different then the first 4 or 5 or whatever it was is the amount of moister in the food. The more moister in the food the harder it will be for the smaller device to get the water out. Basically for less moist foods the smaller space of the air fryer allows it to dry out the edges of the food quicker, but for more moist foods the larger space of the over allows it to not be basically steaming the food once enough moister turns to steam. I will say though to your first comment about the oil, you 100% can and should toss in a bit of oil for things like fries, like about a tablespoon, the point is you are still adding the oil to the food just not near as much, without adding any oil you are not really air "frying" but rather air "roasting". Now when I make things like corn on the cob in on, I will take the corn put it on tin foil, get the corn a tiny bit wet and then put in butter, salt, pepper, Cajun, and some red pepper, wrap up the corn in the foil and then cook it without adding oil because the butter does the same job, but yeah most foods you should be putting in some oil into it.
Nice video 👍 I've had a air fryer for 2 years (present) and have never used it . It's just to small. If I use it to cook the fries but have to put the fish in the oven what's the point?
It's a convention oven. Most in the US have the same setting with the fan. It's not quite the same as an air fryer as the fan is in the back for the oven and above for the air fryer. Chicken wings for instance come out better in an air fryer vs convection oven, but larger items probably have little difference.
Not EVERYTHING is better in an air fryer, but it cooks way faster, doesn't heat up the house, it's easy to clean and usually it does taste better. Most of the time it's either just as good, or way better than in the oven.
Great Video. Air fryer for the win, love the air fryer we have, also here's a good tip, you can cook almost any frozen food like the ones in this video, by setting the temp to 390-400 degrees, and using 12-18 minutes time, cooks almost anything perfectly in the air fryer, Corn Dogs and Onion Rings and Hot Pockets are amazing in the air fryer also.
You should review the taclight. Freeze it, run over it, test the visibility at two miles. I've searched your channel and can't see if you've done a review on it yet.
I really enjoy ur videos especially the blind taste test. My stove died 4 years ago. I cook with a toaster oven, electric skillet, 2 eye electric burner and air fryer. I use my air fryer more than my other appliances. I cook ever thing from hot wings to pork chopes and chicken. I heat up left overs in it. I enjoy my air fryer. I liked this blind taste test you did.
I see you've learned your lesson from the previous taste tests and didn't proclaim one to be far superior than the other before the test. Based on the track record, I'm guessing that you thought the oven would be superior 😂
I like that it doesn't have much warm up time it's great for personal sized food. I would always use an oven for cookies, pies, hams, and large things.
I remember when air friers first became a thing about 3ish years ago and I worked at Kohl's and oh my goodness watching old women almost get into fist fights about air friers around the holidays was great.....
My oven broke keep getting a F90 error on it which could mean anything, but I got a Ninja Foodi 3 in 1 (?) for my birthday 2 years ago and you know what. I don't really miss the oven. The air fryer makes chicken, bratwurst, hamburger (put foil on the bottom to collect grease), corn dogs, jalapeno poppers and Salmon in it and I much prefer it over the oven. They taste better and if you brush oil on the chicken and salmon.. it's sublime. Mine also has pressure cooking and can make home made soup,rice,vegetables and mac & cheese. This invention is (In my opinion) the best culinary cooking device made. I do want to fix my oven for things like casseroles (the foodi CAN do that, it's just easier with a oven), bakes and turkey (been using a crock pot, if you do this, use grapes to keep it moist), but for the most part the foodi rules!
So I got my first air fryer 2 months ago and I didn’t think there was going to be much of a difference but I love the consistency in how it cooks food and crunch of the food, I barely use my oven unless it’s for a family sized meal. Love your videos by the way
the question I have is what kind of oven do you have ? do you have a convection oven or a regular oven that makes a big difference, I have a new convention oven would this air fryer be worth it or does a convention oven do the same?
Having a Toaster oven and an air fryer is the best combo since you can cook some bigger things in the toaster oven that don’t cook well in the air fryer, make toast, and get the crispy and efficient results of the air fryer.
So many factors and variables need to be considered. Cook times, temp, oil spray, brand and type and size of air fryer, etc. Fun video regardless. I always enjoy Tyler's videos.
I have an olive oil spritzer I use for when cooking in my air fryer. Works wonders making it extra crispy. Some things I start in the oven and then finish in the air fryer for that crunch too
I quit using my oven, and use my air fryer for a lot. I dont typically use it for meats, but mine cooks a chicken breast pretty well! My only concern is how are you suppose to clean them? Like isnt that fan and exhaust going to get caked with food-stuff overtime? I run mine with a glass of vinegar in it in between food, and do my best to keep it as clean as i can, cause they sound like they could grow some nasty stuff too.
My Standard oven is a Convection (Fan) oven. I bought an Air Fryer a few months back and it's been my go to. Due to its size it doesn't need to be as hot and cooks at a lower temp. It can take some experimenting tho. It's definitely a bonus in hotter weather and I'm now able to cook joints of meat and whole chickens in. Sometimes it's not quite big enough to cook a whole meal but if I'm cooking Fries, Onion rings and chicken nuggets I put a rack in it and put the nuggets on that. The whole lot is done in 18 minutes. Whole Pizza is probably the only thing I've not cooked in it as many don't fit,.so that's all my standard oven gets used for now. I have used it to reheat left over slices at 4am tho, and they come out great.
I was initially apprehensive about how well the air fryer would perform cooking for my household of seven. It seemed like it would be too small. However with a couple of after market racks it has done an excellent job. My only complaint is that it needs to be washed every time it’s used for oily or greasy foods, or anything that drips onto the bottom. With an oven things are usually cooked on a tray or sheet, which also needs to be washed but the grate at the bottom of my air fryer is formed with grooves and holes which are much harder to clean than a flat surface. I use a stiff sink brush but it’s still a lot harder to clean. As far as results cooking go the air fryer is usually superior with the exception of large roasts and a few other things that won’t otherwise fit and given that grease and oil are not retained against the bottom it’s more healthy. This does not even address the substantial energy savings from the smaller cooking containment and need for cooling due to heating the indoor environment. The same goes for induction cooktops. I’m remodeling my kitchen and the next range will have a combination induction/resistive cooktop and convection/conventional oven.
LOL. We have the Ninja Double aifryer, and we love it. It's way faster then a oven and we make lots of food in it. Not like the first airfryers that were slow and terrirble. The only thing with airfryers is, that the airfryer cooking time on the box is not reliable at all and you have to experiment with it for the best result. Just keep the cooking thermometer at hand and let the temperature tell you when it's ready.
The air fryer is essentially a college students best friend. Had one for my last year of college and used it to air fry chicken patties for sandwiches and its so crunchy and perfect. Hearing the dino nuggets crunch was how my chicken patties sounded. Also was fun using it to make a cheapo pizza using bread and sauce and cheese.
Likely the best video comparison yet, BUT: How about a blind taste test using a regular oven, a toaster oven, and the air fryer? Maybe try hamburger, hot dogs, stuffed potato halves, egg rolls, and your all time favorite-dill pickles? (Places here offer deep fried pickles).
If you add 15% more cook time for bigger items, that deficit would dissappear. But the point was made very well. Those air fryers make great Christmas presents and being 'Tyler Tested' makes it a gift from the heart. Good video man.
I love Air Fryers so much!!! So far, I've bought 4. Used 2 of them to death and just threw one out with another one close behind. My new favorite Air Fryer is my Drew Barrymore model. Great Air Fryer. Air Fryers cool faster with less mess and you get really crispy results you just don't get in an oven. Btw, an Air Fryer is a mini convection oven. It uses very hot air to circulate around the food cooking it much better, and, did I mention faster? Re-heating Pizza takes 3 1/2 minutes and the left over pizza taste like it was just baked! Not even kidding. It's that amazing. There are reasons why people all over have been ranting about how awesome Air Fryers are.
What rack are you baking on? At what temp? How long?... You can only compare when all conditions are accurate. Compare Air fryer to toaster oven. Or air fryer to deep fryer... Im convinced as it went on the oven got better because it had time to evenly preheat as it went on
It’s a mini convection oven. So comparing to a conventional oven is so-so. I’d love to see a comparison between a convection oven and a air fryer, I think the latter has even greater air circulation and cooks faster.
Personally I prefer my Belle tabletop pizza cooker. I cook most things in it from mozzarella sticks, pizza pockets, pot pies. Quesadillas, fried eggs, frozen sausage patties, reheats pizza like new or better, frozen pizzas and probably even more. I used my first one so much that where it bends it wore the cord out until it suddenly started sparking. I immediately unplugged it & went to order a new one. Best part is that it doesn't heat up my apartment when I use it. Best appliance I've ever bought. Only $30 too.
An air fryer is fantastic for a lot of stuff for 1-2 people. They can do a lot of things well, but it's just a small convection oven. I have found one thing the air fryer cannot do well, a baked potato... also a grilled cheese while it can be done I find I prefer the pan fried version better. If you have a larger family and need a really big air fryer... get a convection oven, they are awesome and I miss mine. Also, you can get more crunch and less sogginess on breaded things like nuggets in a regular conventional oven by cooking them on a cookie cooling rack. Of course if you plan to try this, make sure it's a metal rack without any coating. This helps tremendously.
Do you have to test it with using the broiler setting on a oven versus the air fryer and see what is better because the broiler is what gives it a nice crisp in the oven
Yes, This is a miniature high end stove. It's great for people who don't have the luxury of 2000$ kitchen appliances Now if you get better air fryer, Things with racks and rotating baskets, then the difference becomes more clear. a bucket style air fryer works great for little things like fries and nuggets, but for thing that take longer to cook it tends to burn before its finished all the way through, and if you have one where grease can drip, it makes pretty good bacon and burgers
Oh no, i thought you will show cooking in air fryer, turned out its just blind test... I expect to watch you cooking in both air fryer and oven, that's so exciting, even though it will be long duration, i dont care i still will watch it.
an air fryer could be classified as a convention oven, but a super simplified version of a standard convection oven. Most ovens in houses or apartments are not convection ovens because they are considerably more expensive, hence why the traditional stove is still used so often.
Hey Tyler, if you are reading this, as a spin-off to your leaving things in jars. You could do a series where you bury things outside for 30 days. Dig them up and see what they look like. Just a thought!
The biggest reason I love my air fryer is because it reheats delivery pizza the best out of any way I have ever tried. But also the air fryer cooks most things much faster than doing it in the oven. And in the summer it doesn't heat up my entire house like my oven does.
I never found them to taste different, but it might be crunchier cuz its a smaller thing ? though you can also have small ovens I DUNNO we have one but never use it because i dont taste a difference.

I will say though to your first comment about the oil, you 100% can and should toss in a bit of oil for things like fries, like about a tablespoon, the point is you are still adding the oil to the food just not near as much, without adding any oil you are not really air "frying" but rather air "roasting". Now when I make things like corn on the cob in on, I will take the corn put it on tin foil, get the corn a tiny bit wet and then put in butter, salt, pepper, Cajun, and some red pepper, wrap up the corn in the foil and then cook it without adding oil because the butter does the same job, but yeah most foods you should be putting in some oil into it.
This helped a lot to make me choose if i need an air fryer or not.
Nice video 👍
I've had a air fryer for 2 years (present) and have never used it . It's just to small. If I use it to cook the fries but have to put the fish in the oven what's the point?
Do chicken wings, they're a lot healthier than being fried and the crisp is awesome. No breading needed. Just salt,paprika and pepper.
That sounds good. And healthy!
Was just about to say this, thumbs up his comment boys!
Or just use a convection oven or a conventional oven. 🤷
With pickles on the side, of course!!
@@Thisisallwegot93 ewww, no pickles
We have air fryers built into our ovens in australia....it's called fan forced grill setting.
It's a convention oven. Most in the US have the same setting with the fan. It's not quite the same as an air fryer as the fan is in the back for the oven and above for the air fryer. Chicken wings for instance come out better in an air fryer vs convection oven, but larger items probably have little difference.
Not EVERYTHING is better in an air fryer, but it cooks way faster, doesn't heat up the house, it's easy to clean and usually it does taste better. Most of the time it's either just as good, or way better than in the oven.
1:20 that face shows how ready you are for this food😂😂
When its hot, i love using my Airfryer cause the oven gives off so much heat where as the AF doesn't
Great Video. Air fryer for the win, love the air fryer we have, also here's a good tip, you can cook almost any frozen food like the ones in this video, by setting the temp to 390-400 degrees, and using 12-18 minutes time, cooks almost anything perfectly in the air fryer, Corn Dogs and Onion Rings and Hot Pockets are amazing in the air fryer also.
All I care about is knowing I can now make chicken nuggets and pizza from my bedroom.
And surprisingly it also does steak really well
tyler: I will link the air frier in the discription
also tyler: haha, sike
You should review the taclight. Freeze it, run over it, test the visibility at two miles. I've searched your channel and can't see if you've done a review on it yet.
I really enjoy ur videos especially the blind taste test. My stove died 4 years ago. I cook with a toaster oven, electric skillet, 2 eye electric burner and air fryer. I use my air fryer more than my other appliances. I cook ever thing from hot wings to pork chopes and chicken. I heat up left overs in it. I enjoy my air fryer. I liked this blind taste test you did.
I see you've learned your lesson from the previous taste tests and didn't proclaim one to be far superior than the other before the test. Based on the track record, I'm guessing that you thought the oven would be superior 😂
I like that it doesn't have much warm up time it's great for personal sized food. I would always use an oven for cookies, pies, hams, and large things.
I remember when air friers first became a thing about 3ish years ago and I worked at Kohl's and oh my goodness watching old women almost get into fist fights about air friers around the holidays was great.....
I’m really impressed with your solution to doing a blind testing by your self.
Now do the air fryer vs deep fryer!
Dang, an actually very useful and informative video --props to you Tyler!
Today we learn what Tyler has on hand at all times in his fridge.
What setting you used on oven? Just heating elements or did you turn on the fan too?
I clicked as fast as I could when I saw the title
I clicked as fast as i could when i saw it was tyler tube
Man me too
Yup me too especially after no video on Wednesday
Cringe
@Trey Azagthoth then don't reply to the comment 🙄
My oven broke keep getting a F90 error on it which could mean anything, but I got a Ninja Foodi 3 in 1 (?) for my birthday 2 years ago and you know what. I don't really miss the oven. The air fryer makes chicken, bratwurst, hamburger (put foil on the bottom to collect grease), corn dogs, jalapeno poppers and Salmon in it and I much prefer it over the oven. They taste better and if you brush oil on the chicken and salmon.. it's sublime. Mine also has pressure cooking and can make home made soup,rice,vegetables and mac & cheese. This invention is (In my opinion) the best culinary cooking device made. I do want to fix my oven for things like casseroles (the foodi CAN do that, it's just easier with a oven), bakes and turkey (been using a crock pot, if you do this, use grapes to keep it moist), but for the most part the foodi rules!
Dino nuggs aren’t bad when you find the kind you like, personally I love Tysons Dino nuggs but I hate any other brands
tyson dino nugs are legoit
tysons dino nuggs slap but its original nuggs suck
@@sablovestwice so true
They are better when they’re not gluten free…
Depends on the sauce too yall
So I got my first air fryer 2 months ago and I didn’t think there was going to be much of a difference but I love the consistency in how it cooks food and crunch of the food, I barely use my oven unless it’s for a family sized meal. Love your videos by the way
Air fry a raw egg or a piece of Kraft American “cheese”, they both turn into fluffy pillows
the question I have is what kind of oven do you have ? do you have a convection oven or a regular oven that makes a big difference, I have a new convention oven would this air fryer be worth it or does a convention oven do the same?
NEVER take advice from a 5 year old. Dude was trying to hard to get the oven wins. He cant even eat basic stuff.
how baked is tyler during this? lmao
Brb about to cook all these Items the same way just for the eating factor!!!! Great video
I might have missed it, but did you use a regular oven, or one with a convection function?
Having a Toaster oven and an air fryer is the best combo since you can cook some bigger things in the toaster oven that don’t cook well in the air fryer, make toast, and get the crispy and efficient results of the air fryer.
I have a microwave/air fryer and a stand alone air fryer. I very very rarely use my oven.
So many factors and variables need to be considered. Cook times, temp, oil spray, brand and type and size of air fryer, etc. Fun video regardless. I always enjoy Tyler's videos.
Tyler was fkn blasted while making this Lmaoo. Great vid as usual
hes doing the same things as gmm on a smaller scale with better laughs. respect
I have an olive oil spritzer I use for when cooking in my air fryer. Works wonders making it extra crispy. Some things I start in the oven and then finish in the air fryer for that crunch too
12:02
For scientific reasons lol 😂
I quit using my oven, and use my air fryer for a lot. I dont typically use it for meats, but mine cooks a chicken breast pretty well! My only concern is how are you suppose to clean them? Like isnt that fan and exhaust going to get caked with food-stuff overtime? I run mine with a glass of vinegar in it in between food, and do my best to keep it as clean as i can, cause they sound like they could grow some nasty stuff too.
My Standard oven is a Convection (Fan) oven. I bought an Air Fryer a few months back and it's been my go to. Due to its size it doesn't need to be as hot and cooks at a lower temp. It can take some experimenting tho. It's definitely a bonus in hotter weather and I'm now able to cook joints of meat and whole chickens in. Sometimes it's not quite big enough to cook a whole meal but if I'm cooking Fries, Onion rings and chicken nuggets I put a rack in it and put the nuggets on that. The whole lot is done in 18 minutes. Whole Pizza is probably the only thing I've not cooked in it as many don't fit,.so that's all my standard oven gets used for now. I have used it to reheat left over slices at 4am tho, and they come out great.
I absolutely love my air fryer and i learned how to make a perfect steak in it..the steak comes out so tender and juicy…such a great invention!
Air friers sear the outside so much better than expected haha
I think air fried vs deep fried is a more comparable experience, I hear you can cook steaks in the air fryer
Yea and it surprisingly turns out great
I was initially apprehensive about how well the air fryer would perform cooking for my household of seven. It seemed like it would be too small. However with a couple of after market racks it has done an excellent job. My only complaint is that it needs to be washed every time it’s used for oily or greasy foods, or anything that drips onto the bottom. With an oven things are usually cooked on a tray or sheet, which also needs to be washed but the grate at the bottom of my air fryer is formed with grooves and holes which are much harder to clean than a flat surface. I use a stiff sink brush but it’s still a lot harder to clean.
As far as results cooking go the air fryer is usually superior with the exception of large roasts and a few other things that won’t otherwise fit and given that grease and oil are not retained against the bottom it’s more healthy.
This does not even address the substantial energy savings from the smaller cooking containment and need for cooling due to heating the indoor environment.
The same goes for induction cooktops.
I’m remodeling my kitchen and the next range will have a combination induction/resistive cooktop and convection/conventional oven.
Are you also using the convection feature in your oven, if you have it. The air circulation is a big factor, if not all of it.
LOL. We have the Ninja Double aifryer, and we love it. It's way faster then a oven and we make lots of food in it. Not like the first airfryers that were slow and terrirble. The only thing with airfryers is, that the airfryer cooking time on the box is not reliable at all and you have to experiment with it for the best result. Just keep the cooking thermometer at hand and let the temperature tell you when it's ready.
11:15 - The Captain America of testing food.
The air fryer is essentially a college students best friend. Had one for my last year of college and used it to air fry chicken patties for sandwiches and its so crunchy and perfect. Hearing the dino nuggets crunch was how my chicken patties sounded. Also was fun using it to make a cheapo pizza using bread and sauce and cheese.
Likely the best video comparison yet, BUT: How about a blind taste test using a regular oven, a toaster oven, and the air fryer? Maybe try hamburger, hot dogs, stuffed potato halves, egg rolls, and your all time favorite-dill pickles? (Places here offer deep fried pickles).
If you add 15% more cook time for bigger items, that deficit would dissappear. But the point was made very well. Those air fryers make great Christmas presents and being 'Tyler Tested' makes it a gift from the heart. Good video man.
I love Air Fryers so much!!! So far, I've bought 4. Used 2 of them to death and just threw one out with another one close behind. My new favorite Air Fryer is my Drew Barrymore model. Great Air Fryer. Air Fryers cool faster with less mess and you get really crispy results you just don't get in an oven. Btw, an Air Fryer is a mini convection oven. It uses very hot air to circulate around the food cooking it much better, and, did I mention faster? Re-heating Pizza takes 3 1/2 minutes and the left over pizza taste like it was just baked! Not even kidding. It's that amazing. There are reasons why people all over have been ranting about how awesome Air Fryers are.
What rack are you baking on? At what temp? How long?... You can only compare when all conditions are accurate. Compare Air fryer to toaster oven. Or air fryer to deep fryer...
Im convinced as it went on the oven got better because it had time to evenly preheat as it went on
I'm so glad you did this because I have wanted to do the same experiment. Love the vids Tyler.
It’s a mini convection oven. So comparing to a conventional oven is so-so. I’d love to see a comparison between a convection oven and a air fryer, I think the latter has even greater air circulation and cooks faster.
Personally I prefer my Belle tabletop pizza cooker.
I cook most things in it from mozzarella sticks, pizza pockets, pot pies. Quesadillas, fried eggs, frozen sausage patties, reheats pizza like new or better, frozen pizzas and probably even more.
I used my first one so much that where it bends it wore the cord out until it suddenly started sparking. I immediately unplugged it & went to order a new one. Best part is that it doesn't heat up my apartment when I use it.
Best appliance I've ever bought. Only $30 too.
An air fryer is fantastic for a lot of stuff for 1-2 people. They can do a lot of things well, but it's just a small convection oven. I have found one thing the air fryer cannot do well, a baked potato... also a grilled cheese while it can be done I find I prefer the pan fried version better. If you have a larger family and need a really big air fryer... get a convection oven, they are awesome and I miss mine.
Also, you can get more crunch and less sogginess on breaded things like nuggets in a regular conventional oven by cooking them on a cookie cooling rack. Of course if you plan to try this, make sure it's a metal rack without any coating. This helps tremendously.
Do you have to test it with using the broiler setting on a oven versus the air fryer and see what is better because the broiler is what gives it a nice crisp in the oven
Tyler's becoming my favourite reviewer and tester
this guy releases videos i searched before and never found legend
Yes, This is a miniature high end stove. It's great for people who don't have the luxury of 2000$ kitchen appliances
Now if you get better air fryer, Things with racks and rotating baskets, then the difference becomes more clear. a bucket style air fryer works great for little things like fries and nuggets, but for thing that take longer to cook it tends to burn before its finished all the way through, and if you have one where grease can drip, it makes pretty good bacon and burgers
I don’t see link to air fryer. I just wanted to know what brand and model it is.
This channel gonna blow up with this kind of consistency. really enjoy this content
What you should have done is air fryer vs microwave because that’s mostly what people talk about
Oh no, i thought you will show cooking in air fryer, turned out its just blind test... I expect to watch you cooking in both air fryer and oven, that's so exciting, even though it will be long duration, i dont care i still will watch it.
Is there actually any direction's for cooking a lot of this in a air fryer
Most air fryers come with a cook book and guide for most of your standard items
My gf got an air fryer almost 2 weeks ago and I literally haven't ate a home-cooked meal since, unless it was me to cook it.
Would be interesting to see the same comparison but with a convection oven to see if the smaller volume of the air fryer makes a difference.
an air fryer could be classified as a convention oven, but a super simplified version of a standard convection oven. Most ovens in houses or apartments are not convection ovens because they are considerably more expensive, hence why the traditional stove is still used so often.
Were the foods in the oven cooked in a basket? Most Air fryers have a basket so the heat goes all the way around them. Just curious.
Hey Tyler, if you are reading this, as a spin-off to your leaving things in jars. You could do a series where you bury things outside for 30 days. Dig them up and see what they look like. Just a thought!
Tyler: Dino nuggets, a significant part of childhood
Me: you had Dino nuggets as a kid?
14:49 yes and air fryer heats up faster too. It takes like 2 minutes to heat up while oven takes like 20min :D
The biggest reason I love my air fryer is because it reheats delivery pizza the best out of any way I have ever tried.
But also the air fryer cooks most things much faster than doing it in the oven. And in the summer it doesn't heat up my entire house like my oven does.
I never found them to taste different, but it might be crunchier cuz its a smaller thing ? though you can also have small ovens I DUNNO we have one but never use it because i dont taste a difference.
