I’ve been watching a lot of STCG and last week he did an Air Fryer episode that was pretty interesting. I hate to admit it, but the steak he cooked actually looked great and I’ll probably try it sometime this winter when it’s nasty out.

glitchy you gotta test your MAK in cold weather... all those other smokers that need welding blankets in the cold yet claim supremacy need Glitchy to put 'em in their place
Seriously though, whatever puts out great results and best suits the situation is how I'm going.

I don't know about using it for steak but I did watch that episode with interest. I now have a convection oven with air fryer at the cabin I'm looking forward to putting it to use.
However, I am thinking of throwing some steak into my Blackstone Patio Oven tonight.

Love Sam! We make a lot of his recipes. His carne asada is probably our fav. We just love how he simplifies things and tries to show people how easy it can be to cook better food at home without having to be complicated and fancy shmancy.

My wife is on me to get an air fryer. Several of our kids have them and swear by them.
I told her I had a tool (Vortex) coming that would make one of the grills (kettle) into an air fryer....Somehow I feel we will end up with one at some point.

Attjack the only issue with that Cuisinart is the sheer size. The reason we have the toaster oven we have is because it is so compact. I kinda like the Ninja ovens that flip up onto their back to take less counter space when not in use, but they are more than the Cuisinart.

However, I will occasionally have a vanilla porter float in the summer (Empyrean Vanilla Porter w/a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream) as I usually drink stouts & porters in the colder months, pale ales & IPAs in the warmer months. I have to add Not Your Father's Root Beer to beers I use for floats.
* - Booze - I don't really have a favorite, but lean towards single malt Scotch & Irish whiskey
* - Wines - Reds: mainly the heavy stuff mixed in with the occasional pinot noir ( I have yet to meet a malbec I didn't like); Whites: German & Nebraska (hey, I have to support the home team)
* - Favorite Spice outlets - Volcanic Peppers - Bellevue, NE
* - Current butchers: Cure - Ft. Calhoun
I must say the air fryer has me intrigued, but will have to wait until we have more counter space.
We like watching Sam, but I have a real difficult time grasping his idea of baking ribs in vinegar. Can't do it. Won't do it. Can't watch it. Won't watch it. I wish he would use his turquoise Blaze hanging out in the background more often.

An air fryer is just a small chambered convection oven.
I think anything your air fryer can do, my OG Grilla can do better...

Yep, that is what I am hoping the Vortex will do for my kettle or kamado. But after watching that video, I may be getting an air fryer by winter, when I am dealing with it being dark at 4:30pm, and grilling becomes a weekend-only activity.

With the OG, you crack the lid a bit once it’s up to temp and you get a better convection effect.
But it convects reasonably well over 300 with the lid shut.
Also, the killer counter top app in air fryer land, is actually a convection toaster oven. Bigger chamber, so larger loads, same technique.

Watching this video tells me I will likely end up with an air fryer sooner rather than later. Almost certainly after the time change, when it will be dark before I get off work. While I work in a home office, I still try to not be cooking most days before 5pm. Maybe it will be my Christmas gift to myself!I am liking the look of the Ninja toaster oven combo air frier model 101 or 301 right now, after glitchy mentioned them.

Attjack after reading a lot of the user reviews on the Ninja website for those oven style air fryers, the recurring comment in the reviews is that they are extremely hard to clean. If I read the reviews on the regular style Ninja air fryers, folks say how easy they are to clean. I think easy of cleaning will trump multi-function, and I may start with a more conventional air fryer that can be put away in a closet when not in use.

Potkettleblack that makes a lot of sense, and I myself have been telling my kids that all an air fryer was is a small convection oven.
That said, we don't have room for or need a convection oven on the counter top. I've got a microwave that doubles as a convection oven (Frigidaire Pro model), but have found that it takes an inordinate amount of time to preheat. We've used it as an oven only a handful of times in 4-5 years of having it.
