The processed garbage people feed these with are their choice, and probably due to laziness with packaging giving air fryer directions.
They are equally effective at cooking food, but you may have to look up time and temperature (or mine gives the rule of thumb to start with regular oven directions, subtract 20°, and subtract 20% from time)
Mine was useful enough to lol for an air fryer when I bought a new oven, since a major limitation of the small appliance is how little you can cook at once. Even now that my kids are in college so I’m cooking for only one, I rarely cook just one meal at a time- I want at least one leftover meal for my effort
Tofu is a great example of something that works well in an air fryer but by the time you cube it and spread it out to allow air circulation, the small appliance really doesn’t cook much
Perhaps that is broadly true. Mostly my oven gets used for baking biscuits. Sometimes I’ll make a lasagna or very rarely a casserole. The only actual dietary sin that takes place there is the occasional pizza. I’m not perfect, I do eat pizza.
There are no taquitos or chicken tenders or wtf-ever frozen garbage in my home or my oven.
We have two normal sized ovens. I still prefer to use the air fryer. If only for the fact that it only takes about 8 minutes to make pizza rolls
Taquitos also take 8 minutes in my air fryer at 380°F.
So many of the things that people cook in these nasty little grease machines are processed garbage.
That may be true but it doesn’t have to be.

You mean the machine that is… an electric heater and a fan?
Meat and cheese rolled into a tortilla? Just sounds to me like you’ve got some kind of grudge against these things.
Agreed. They smell like fryers. And they are for making fried food. Not allowed in my house. Nasty.
No different to ovens then
