The whole point of these (over saturated in the market) contraptions is to emulate deep frying so yeah, that means dipped in batter!
But @Icegoddess why bother if you already have a convection oven?
If I'm getting one it's the new Todd English version that does A LOT more...

Most of the time you'll be "air frying" at temps between 350-400 degrees to achieve the "crunch" on foods, but your convection oven should easily duplicate any air fryer recipes IMO.
As far as the application you mention for the air fryer, I've done fresh, battered fish in mine...unfrozen without a problem. The only thing that can occur (as it would with anything aside from deep fat frying) is sticking so spraying with a "pam-like" product is necessary. HTH's
Oh no @Gokat you just made me snort . . . thanks for the huge laugh out loud my friend! . . . ![]()

@Gokat this is just as funny as the thread where it was discussed that Temptations should introduce a stick vac as we were all kvetching about taking up time on ITKWD for cleaning products and ever since that vision was planted in my head I just cannot get rid of it . . . or stop laughing . . . ![]()

Hopefully, it was a dry "snort", @momtochloe !
I wasn't as fortunate earlier this morning with my first cup of coffee, I'm afraid.
Reading these forums is always an "at your own risk" endeavor, isn't it?!?![]()
Along with my little portable RC's, that air fryer has sustained a place of honor in me tiny kitchen...and that's no easy feat, I must say. I'm sure your ears have burned from time-to-time with my "thanky's"!![]()

Ah good point my friend and yes @Gokat you luckily did catch me between beverage sips (excellent point by the way as the outcome can either make or break the rest of your day) . . . ![]()
Dry snorts . . . . tee hee!

Oh gosh, @momtochloe, I caught some of that discussion and SMH trying to figure out if it was for real!![]()
Whatever they were discussing sounded antiquated (bags already?!?) and can't possibly compete (in any Temptations design/color) with my OTHER bragworthy and newst Q purchase ....me Shark handy-dandy Rocket-baby! Whooda thunk I'd EVER be shouting to the rooftops over a vacuum?!? This needs some serious consideration, methinks.![]()
Oops...Sorry OP for the slight detour on your thread!![]()

Oh goodness no @Gokat the shift in this thread is totally on me and I do apologize to the OP . . . sorry about that! ![]()

This one piqued my interest when it was recently offered, @Andreatoo . The only thing I found that would deter me from purchasing this one for air fryer applications is the heat source is designed more like that of a slow cooker and not truly convection. It's a nice multi-cooker though.![]()

It has the convection (rapid air) heating too.
My deterrant is the mammoth size! And I really need an actual oven; convection or not..
I have one of the triwaves but it's useless for baking! I'm sure there's a trick to it but we haven't figured it out...

Well, I'm a sucker for kitchen gadgets, so we'll see.
The way Ming Tsai was explaining it. it's more concentrated convection than your convection oven, so does a better jog. Sales kitch I'm sure.
That Shark Rocket, was it the TSV the other day for around $100? If so, I really was interested in it. I have a big Dyson, but I really don't like it for bare floors, blows things like cat hair around. I need somthing that will do a good job on my kitchen floors before I use my Haan steam cleaner since those things won't pick up anything.
BTW, I'm trying to start a FB group for discussing anything home shopping related from any of the channels. It's called Everythng Home Shopping. Currently, only my friends are members and they really aren't interested. Hope a little promo is allowed.
