This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I recently acquired my first 'air fryer'.

Yes, it's an oversized, convection toaster oven, with a lot of fancy programs built in that I probably don't need.

Having had a (gas) convection oven in the past, it's just not the same. It heats up faster, and seems to do a better job of circulating air. Supposedly I had a pretty nice convection oven, too.

I can make really tasty falafel in my 'air fryer' that uses a tiny fraction of the oil that is used for deep frying; I wasn't able to make decent falafel in my convection oven. Does a great job with frozen fries and tater tots too. I need to try roasting brussels sprouts in it, maybe some asparagus.

So far, it's an easy 9/10. The only downside is the footprint.

I roast my veggies in mine and it's great. Less time, gas, and overall heat than my gas one. Don't cook fish in it, though.
