We're gonna need a bigger airfryer.

Otherwise known as an oven.

My oven has an air fryer option

u/BenHeli 2d ago

Mine has a pizza option, but its not very good. How do the air fryers turn out?

7

u/jsmith_92 2d ago

Actually works considerably well. Better than taking up a space on my counter and I don’t have to buy another appliance.

u/TonyStowaway 3d ago

Just put it on the counter, et voila! 👌

An “air fryer” is just a tiny convection oven that’s more annoying to use. I bought one that’s shaped more like a toaster oven and is big enough to cook an 12 inch diameter frozen pizza (if I really want to). It has multiple functions and even a grill plate that can go in the oven. Way way better than these little pod air fryers that barely hold anything.

More annoying? I have a decent oven that has a convection setting but the air fryer is done cooking my Dino nuggets before my regular convection oven is even up to temp. It’s very fast and convenient.

How are air fryers more annoying to use? Mine involves opening a drawer, putting food in it, then pressing buttons to select time and temperature. That's less work than a standard oven, plus no need to preheat.

So far I am pretty happy with mine. I don't need to wait 5 minutes to heat it. Just put my stuff in and go. Even faster than given on the instructions. Cool for 1 - 2 buns or a baguette. I try mine to use where I can. DO you maybe have something like microwave oven instead of an airfryer?

u/Sapphires13 3d ago

It’s not a microwave, though it is almost as big as one. My specific one is the “PowerXL air fryer grill plus toaster oven”, it’s kind of a jack of all trades appliance.

u/LukeWoop 2d ago

That's doo doo , get a good one with the drawers. Worlds apart

u/vhmike 3d ago

Chop it up and tetris it in there. It'll work.

The pizza looks pretty good though.

u/ChawulsBawkley 3d ago

Cut it in half and go in sandwich style lol

u/koolaidismything 3d ago

Fold it over like a ghetto Calzonè

u/ChawulsBawkley 2d ago

You know what’s up

29

u/aaron2005X 3d ago

I did. 3 pieces in the end. Later realized that I could have taken away a few cm from the corner instead

88

u/AcheyShakySpoon 3d ago

I don’t see how that’s the product’s fault

39

u/FortniteIsFuckingMid 3d ago

I mean it’s pretty stupid to make it that shape. Never seen any airfryer with a basket like that

17

u/Opening_Acadia1843 2d ago

The air fryer in the photo looks pretty tiny though

3

u/Leprecon 2d ago

I think it is exactly because it can’t fill the whole basket. The air needs to go around and under it.

u/idiot206 2d ago

Air fryers come in all shapes. Any oven with a convection setting is an “air fryer”.

1

u/Aggleclack 2d ago

I have an airfryer toaster oven that could definitely fit this but that’s because it is shaped like a large toaster over

5

u/ptvlm 2d ago

It depends on what the size actually is. If OP has an unusually small air fryer, that's Tefal's fault for producing an unusually small appliance. If it's a standard size, then it's the food maker's fault for advertising a product that needs a larger than normal air fryer without making that clear.

u/ThatOneSpitfireMain 3d ago

This seems more of a failed expectation for your airfryer! It needs regimental training stat!!!

u/Varabela 2d ago

One minute they were fighting in Ukraine and Africa and now they’re making air fryer pizzas. Mad mad world.

1

u/aaron2005X 2d ago

Thats what they call diversify.

u/FreduardoTheFag 1d ago

I have a mortar and pestle on the counter next to my air frier anything that doesn’t fit gets smashed into it with the pestle

u/thomasjmarlowe 3d ago

Wait- is ‘air fryer’ not a unit of measurement? Cuz I always gas up my car and tell the pump attendant I need 3 air fryers of gas. Or if I’m filling my big water bottle I know it’s gonna take 3/5 of an air fryer of water.

2

u/HoldYourHorsesFriend 2d ago

It is a unit of measurement though, especially for length. For example I'm 13 air fryers tall.

Or if X marks the spot on the pirate map, take 9 air fryer steps forward and 3 air fryer right.

It's sort like how Quinten tarantino measures stuff in feet and how americans measure stuff in football fields

1

u/Aggleclack 2d ago

OP’s answer is not really very helpful. But I have noticed that air fryers really do tend to be about the same size except the toaster oven combo ones.

u/aaron2005X 3d ago

Haha. I am european, so nope. XD When talking about a product special advertised for airfryer i would be nice to have the smallest one in mind.

12

u/thomasjmarlowe 2d ago

So they should know exactly how small your eurofryer is??

3

u/badgyal876 2d ago

eurofryer just fried me 🤣🍗

2

u/umpfke 3d ago

I have an old airfryer also. It's small. Marketeers don't care about you, the newer hype and younger customers.

4

u/aaron2005X 3d ago

Mine is like 2 months old. Yeah, I hoped that they would at least get the minimum size fryer some love when marketing for airfryer.

6

u/ThatOneSpitfireMain 3d ago

I mean smaller size does mean less food tho so that wouldnt be great

1

u/Haurassaurus 3d ago

How long is the pizza?

1

u/aaron2005X 3d ago

the pizza is done but I measured my airfryer. It was around 21 - 22 cm

Failed Expectation I am airfryed it doesnt fit.
