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.

They have a place in a home. Not a restaurant. Take into account the speed and the efficiency of an air fryer vs preheating an entire oven for one meal. The cost of the oil and heating the oil vs turning on an air fryer. A lot more than just amazing chef quality food vs good home cooking. It would be great to see what recipes you can create for air fryers. Great idea for a double book series eh? Air fryer recipes you love = book #1. Same recipes but for when times aren't so expensive = book #2. Keep it up Joshua. Love what you do 👍

The deep fryer is the only one I'd consider "fair" as it's similarly fast and doesn't necessarily change the flavor from the recipe that much. You should be making the same recipe from the air fryer and apply similar traditional technique. But not overnight stuff that dramatically changes the recipe unless you apply them to the same recipe too like the potatoes. And no cooking techniques that add flavor like cooking over charcoal when you could cook on gas.

If you just preheat a convection oven it will reheat your fried goods just as well. An air fryer is just a more time efficient convection oven

I was anti-air fryer for a long time only because cooking was a moment of zen for me. I enjoy the process. I thought convection cooking would steal the joy from cooking low and slow. However, my apartment doesn’t have central a/c, and even turning on a stove burner for 5 minutes to cook eggs would create an absolute hellscape that would last for hours, plus my budget tightened quite a bit…so I finally gave in to getting one as a gift. I regret not allowing it into my life sooner. The air fryer, if one can afford even a small one, is an absolute treat to own. Will it produce gourmet restaurant results? It’s not supposed to. But it will cut time and money, of which you seem to have too much. (I’d say don’t knock it before you try it but you did, clearly lost, and decided to bludgeon it.) (Thanks, Mom. You were right about it all along.)

The potato battle was not the same. The seasoning and technique were different. I agree, the air fryer won. Josh just wanted to take out the 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.

adding up to the thread related to oil, air frying is healthier, and you have the same results which is a win/win

A rematch is demanded! but anyway, i love this kind of videos. please make it a series like match for different food 😍

Not only did the air fryer win, you destroyed a perfectly good air fryer just for the “laughs”. You’ve changed a lot for the worse in the last couple years, Josh.

Could’ve just given the airfryer to someone who would’ve used it I love mine it’s great for frozen foods I’m not making a whole ass meal out of it and I agree with the deep fry thing that’s kinda the whole point of an air fryer anyway and a ton of them now have multi functions mine is also a dehydrator, pressure cooker, steamer I think they’re great.

Had it not been for the sabotaged under-salted potatoes and sabotaged under-cooked wings, air fryer goes 3-for-3 😂

At first I wasn’t sure because he was just doing a but better version but then he made a recipe the exact same just different frying techniques. So it proves the ability of the air fryer can be very useful and maybe healthier/less clean up

Tip for frying wings in an air fryer, coat them in your cornstarch/flour mix lightly and then get a spray bottle to spray just a little olive oil or vegetable oil on the outside of them after you put them in the tray. Makes a world of difference for the crispy texture.

A friend gifted me my air fryer after my last bad MS flare up. I'd stopped being able to cook in the oven because tremors + hot oven has resulted in a couple nasty 2nd degree burns. Now between my air fryer and Instant Pot I don't miss the oven at all. I can cook healthy food without risking hurting myself. That little countertop convection oven was a game changer for me!

No he absolutely did not. He chose three recipes that are routinely recommended for air fryers, and I'm not just parroting Josh. If you look for air fryer recipes you'll get roasted potatoes, wings and a little farther down the line you'd find salmon. It's surprising how much I've heard air fryers are good for salmon. What Josh stacked in his favor was the criteria for winning. Yes traditional cooking made the tastier food, and even faster food with the wings but air fryers have an incredible effort to quality ratio, and that isn't captured when only testing for quality.

@AAblade7

@@TheGoboZone I’ve never been recommended to cook salmon in a air fryer. The best wings I’ve ever had came from a air fryer, but that one had a basket unlike the one he used. That being said he went a extra step further with breading cause he knew that without the basket you wouldn’t get the right air flow to properly crips the breading. Trust me if he cooked the potatoes the exact same cut then the air fryer would have won. Though if your going to that much effort to make roasted potatoes then go with fondant potatoes they would taste better.

Went to comment that he should do a more fair contest. I see the comments did it for me. Beautiful

Bring a air fryer chef in. Someone who specializes in air fryer stuff, I know theres people who do. Have THEM do the air fryer recipe while you do your normal ones. I think that would make it more fair for the air fryer.

Getting to like 85% of the texture and flavor as the traditional cooking technique for a fraction of the time and effort is definitely a win for me. EDIT: Have to try that wings air fryer recipe. I love wings, but frying them is just a hassle.

Similar to how he was so shocked at how well the pressure cooker cooks rice. (EDIT): Coming back to give my feedback after watching the video. Personally, and I understand why you did this (space), but I feel like you should've made every recipe the same way. Similar to the wings. What I mean is, for the potatoes, you should've smashed them and put them into the air fryer similar to what you did for the oven. Of course the oven ones will be better because you have that crunch texture that the air fryer ones didn't get because they were just quartered. For the Salmon, even though the air fryer won on that, I feel like you should've done the same for that instead of grilled. The Wings are the only ones that you did that were more so fair on comparison. Other than that, another great video.

It’s a great convenience appliance sort of like microwave ovens. You can achieve what a microwave oven does on a stove, or a steamer. You can achieve what an airfryer does in a fan forced oven. But the microwave is a very quick and convenient way for me to reheat or thaw a meal, heat up a cup of milk for my kid etc. and the airfryer is a very quick way to bake some crispy wings without heating a pot of oil or preheating my entire oven for half an hour. Sure both have been overhyped and silly cookbooks have been released with recipes for microwave lobster.. but within reason they do what they do well and quickly. They’re appliances for someone who comes home tired from work and has to prepare a quick tasty meal for their family and still have some time to chill before sleep.

Just some thoughts, totally fair! I feel like the same exact recipes would result more in an oven vs air fryer video that would be less interesting. Kind of “big oven” vs “little oven”. We used the top rated air fryer recipes and then pit them against Josh’s version of them using traditional cooking techniques. Sure you could do smooshed potatoes but there’s not really enough space to do that in the air fryer. Additionally, as Josh said, people want an easy quick method for air fryer. People would call out the inconvenience of the whole overnight process that is required for the smooshed ones! Grilled salmon vs air fryer salmon shows you the technique of binchotan grilling and the smokey flavors and crispy skin you can achieve using that process. Not as exciting to say “my oven cooks it like this, and my air fryer cooks it like this”. And then yeah as you said, oil vs air fryer is an age old question - felt that one hit the mark. Thanks for your feedback, we really appreciate it! Happy cooking!

And destroying an airfryer which he could have given away😕

The significantly lower amount of oil used, simplicity and reduced washing up is what makes an air fryer great and this video did a good job showing that. They are also much quicker than a standard oven, do a much better job at crisping food and on top of that only needing to heat a small basket saves you money on electricity cost. The potato recipe was also very different and I also don’t understand why 1 gets olive oil and the other vegetable. Id think air fry can equally burn the olive oil. In the same time the boiled ones crisped the air fryer cooked them from raw - so the heat is definitely there, going through the oil… Constructively I’d suggest you stopped smashing air fryers and make useful videos for home cooks using a tool that helps many families and people short on time to minimise disruption in their life and still make great, healthy food. Read these comments - great opportunity to bounce back from this because the demand is clearly there. Appreciate your work Josh but think this video could have resonated better :)

I love that he only barely won versus the air fryer, and the first one literally just came down to salt, which could have been added in post anyway, for the same quality, in so much less time XD The salmon and wings are both fair flavor-wise, but, the extra money needed to oil fry the chicken, when air frying them is nearly just as good? Count me out, Air Fryer wins in my book any day, sorry Josh XD It's quicker with most things, easier with most things, and the few things that are neither easier nor quicker, sure, make it by hand But for fried foods, chimichangas, fried chicken, potatoes, the Air Fryer is just superior XD

Thank you for the Air Fryer recipes!

Different recipes for the potatoes isn't fair, it would have worked the same since the air fryer is just an oven. As for the salmon being dry you can alter the time and temp to get your desired doneness maybe cranking the heat at the end for crispiness... But I'd give it to bbq cause that always wins because of the smoke flavour As for wings honestly deep frying always wins over air fryers and ovens, the only reason it wasn't a clear win was the sauce making covering the crisp... But as your man said who wants to do all the hassle of deep frying for a few wings Overall it has it's place especially if you're being lazy.
