I said I’d never use an air fryer, hopefully we’ll find out why today.

  • We hear you guys. Maybe we give this one to the air fryer for not making a fair enough competition. I will say, our goal was to take famous air fryer recipes and pit them against our own version. Hence why the other techniques on mine were different. That being said, it sounds like everyone wants air fryer recipes to make things right, or a rematch? Or both? You tell me. Thank you guys for letting us know how you felt about this one.
  • @TJCook-jo8pg
    So we all agree the air fryer actually won that, right?
  • @nolanrux7866
    It’s beautiful to see all the comments unanimously roasting him for this completely unfair competition.
  • @DaRalf23
    This felt like a competition between a master chef and a literal first time air fryer. We need to see the master chef vs a master air fryer.
  • One point that Josh didn’t bring up is the calorie count (which is surprising considering his fitness goals atm). The amount of oil used for the potatoes and the wings send the calorie count through the roof. Air frying and using a bit of cooking spray keeps the calories down.
  • @jaredhelder
    Should have named it “How I cheated to beat an air fryer!” Because it was the air fryers fault the potatoes weren’t seasoned properly.
  • You convinced me - I'm gonna buy an air fryer. If the difference in quality is so small, yet it's so much faster/less effort (and less fat) it's worth it.
  • The fact that you could prep, cook, clean and repeat all 3 of those dishes in the time it would have taken to set up the grill for the salmon makes the air fryer a clear winner, IMO.
  • @denvo5462
    I’m a professional chef and I can tell you I constantly use my air fryer at home. Honestly, it’s simple and easy, oh and when I wings in the air fryer they come out crispier than fried. You supposed to spray them with oil in the fryer. Air fryer won that one
  • @UghUgh1234
    I use my air fryer more than I thought I would. Even if it’s just to toast some buns, or heat up left over pizza. It’s so easy and quick
  • @SEJIBAQUI475
    9:53 He's spot on. Deep frying stuff is a huge pain, makes a mess, and you gotta deal with pouring it back into the container (some people even say to filter it too) and reserving/disposing of it.
  • For the rematch: Use the same ingredients including seasonings and amounts and limit yourself to the same amount of time it takes to cook in the air fryer. The whole point is of an air fryer is to make things easily. The real test is to see if you can do it traditionally just as easily imo
  • The wings was only 15 min faster while the potatoes was 24 hours slower than the air fryer and I think I’m gonna buy one after bc it’s so much cheaper and faster
  • @ensustiat
    funny how this video actually makes me consider an air fryer more seeing how close the results where apart from the potato recipe where he obviously cheated
  • @Nydas
    How are you gonna make two completely different potato recipes?
  • @ln664
    So basically, Josh destroyed the air fryer because it destroyed him 😮😂
  • So not only did Josh take a big loss to the air frier. He also then smashed it up rather than giving it away?
  • @Barlakopofai
    Everyone: They're basically the same. Josh: That's a win in my book.
  • I totally get the resistance to air fryers. But I decided to give in and try them, and wow. My favourite thing to use them for is reheating leftovers. ESPECIALLY fried foods. It brings fried leftovers right back to where they started, and I honestly don’t know what else can do that.
  • @smahlt
    To everyone who was (rightly) convinced to buy an air fryer from this video, get a decently big one. I have a small one I got as a gift and I can only fit 4 wings in at once. 8 wings is the right amount I usually want. I intend to upgrade soon.
