When frying anything, I pan-fry, but the only thing I really fry is cheese or a grilled cheese sandwich.. But I do use oil to sauté, which I do several times a week.

The only thing I use my air fryer for is Red Baron personal pizzas.

Not interested in air fryers and rarely fry food (except fried eggs). Most of my cooking is done in the oven.

Just used an air fryer for the first time not even an hour ago. Had a steak. It was very good but think I prefer the hob.

I own and use neither - no oil fryer no air fryer.

I had a friend show me their "air fryer" once. I didn't understand the point of it. It is basically just an oven. It bakes things. The only significant difference it might have is the amount of stuff you could bake at once and possibly the energy wasting footprint?

Wait... am I supposed to consider putting a small quantity of oil in a pan and cooking with that to be "frying?" Because I kind of live and die doing my signature Asian-style noodle dishes in garlic-infused canola oil. When I think frying I always just think deep frying which you need special equipment and a ton of oil to do.

I would consider what you do frying too, yes—I don't think deep frying is the only form that qualifies as frying.

That would never occur to me as a thing to do!

I suppose it would be nice after soaking up the oil in the pan?
I actually use butter for grilled cheese rather than oil?

How do/would you make grilled cheese?

I don't know it's not anything I ever have although when I was a kid we sometimes did it

There is a nice place in my town that sells grilled cheese sandwiches, they do them in a kind of heated press, that they put some kind of oil on and then enclose the bread and cheese in the machine

It takes them five minutes for them to do them

They are nice, you can have them with jalapeños in them
