Recipe of the day Sriracha Maple Bacon Is this the North American version of "healthy"?

I clicked on breakfast:

  - Sugar covered donuts  
  - Iced cinnamon rolls  
  - French toast  
  - Cinnamon roll bites  
  - Nutella Croissants
Healthy indeed.

As always, Angry Dishwasher Man recently came out with a video about airfryers. Go check it out if you remain skeptical.

I love my air fryer, and will probably bookmark this, but seeing a steak as one of the top recipes is blasphemy.

Why are people so against air frying steak? It seems like the best thing to cook in an air fryer

For the same reason they’d probably be against baking a steak.

If you want to get it rare with moisture retained with an air fryer, see above, decrease the time, and use parchment paper.

I'm inclined to try it. My current method is just a cast iron pan at highest heat and flipping three times total, but I'm willing to experiment.

Sous vide + hot sear is my preferred method - but the oven reverse sear is fairly similar and I don't doubt the air fryer would yield similar

It's no secret that air fryers work like a convection oven, but they're not at all the same. Air fryers in my experience are much, much faster to cook, and easier to clean. Perfect for one or two person meals really. For example, I can get fries from frozen to on the verge of burning in 15 minutes with an air fryer. My oven isn't top of the line or anything, but would take at least twice as long, and probably waste a…

I am the person saying "air fryers are just convection ovens (but faster)" a lot, so I am finding it is a secret that air frying isn't like frying.

"popular and healthy"... Those two sets are clearly reasonably disjoint!

I kept hearing that "air fryers are just convection ovens" and was very confused, because I know air fryers use a fan. But it turns out Americans call fan ovens, the one type of oven that specifically does not rely on convection, "convection ovens". Another thing on my list of things Americans say that mean specifically the opposite. It makes me wonder, do Americans take into account the fan when following recipes? C…

They do rely on convection, just forced convection rather than natural.

An air fryer is actually one of the best ways to make steak if you don't follow the prescribed recipe in the link, but if you reverse sear (a reliable and well-known technique, usually done with an oven, which an air fryer is). If your steak is about 1.5" thick, you can airfry at 260ºF for 18 minutes, flip once. This raises the internal temperature uniformly to around 130ºF. Then sear 1 minute per side and 30 secs on…

> Then sear 1 minute per side and 30 secs on the sides, to get a crust. That's it.

How do you not have the entire house smell like sautéed steak / have oil + fat droplets splatter everywhere on the stove/floor?
