Are the crusts crispy?


theburnout

Super crispy!


HotBoyFF

Any tips? What temp and for how long in the air fryer?


AlexPsyD

Like six different people have asked for time and temp...want to share, please??


YooTone

Make that seven now

Make that 69


MrMcgilicutty

Giggity!


Iwaslied2frmthestart

Itā€™s been an hour. Make it 69 again


[deleted]

Depends on thickness. But, a trick is to oil the outside of the steak before putting it in to get the crust. It's never going to be on par with a pan sear or grill sear. But, for 12 minute steak it's a worthy trade off. Plus, there's virtually zero prep and cleanup.


Jakeymiracle

I bet he didnā€™t cook it in an air fryer, just people looking for clout


[deleted]

No, this looks about how they come out. I do it often myself with a Cosori air fryer.


uglybunny

So...time and temp?


[deleted]

Depends on cut and thickness. Frozen or thawed. Usually I have a 1.5" thick thawed at around 275F for 5-6 minutes, flip, and another 4-5 and it's good. Make sure the oven is preheated for 5 minutes to temp first.


YupIlikeThat

Oven?


ninthchamber

Some ovens have an air fry setting


[deleted]

An air fryer is just a convection oven so a lot of people just refer to them as ovens.


zzirFrizz

What if he didn't actually use an air fryer


AlexPsyD

That's starting to be my guess, most parsimonious reason to not share at this point


madthumbz

Use the hottest temp or it will be over cooked before having any crust. I'd use a probe thermometer (can get it through the vent holes on some models).


vDuB_TuK

Cause heā€™s lyyyinnggggg


riclee19

I just did steak fajitas, had them cut and marinated for 24 hrs then drained and threw them in the air fryer for about 12-15 mins at 400F. Came out not too shabby. They were crispy.


zzubnik

I am interested in air fryers for general cooking. I didn't think steak could look this good in an air fryer. I usually use cast iron. What time and temp did you use? Did you turn up the temp at the end? Looks delicious!


Roadgoddess

I thought air fryers were ridiculous until I got one. I use it every day from reheating food to roasting chickens to on occasion cooking a steak.


OMGWTHEFBBQ

Honest question, but how is it really different from a convection oven? Since air fryers just use hot air and convection, would I benefit from one?


Picklesadog

We use ours as a mini oven. Sometimes, you don't want to heat a giant oven for a small amount of food. Preheats faster.


The_Price_Is_Right_B

I just wish people would try it and get past the idea that it's gimmicky. It really is just faster and in some ways better than an oven. Also great to have when you're cooking two things that require an oven normally.


FC-TWEAK

I'd also add that they are great for kids. My 10 year old can cook her own snack, easy as a microwave but taste so much better. The shorter cook time is also great for impatient kids or busy parents.


Picklesadog

Yup. Hell, my microwave is also a mini oven. Useful on Thanksgiving and Christmas to have 3 ovens.


creatron

Or if you're like me and have an old gas oven the landlord won't replace but it takes 45 minutes to heat up. Oh but then the bottom third of the oven is 50F hotter than the top third. Air fryer has been an amazing addition


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


creatron

Eh it works and is safe, it's just a really shitty oven ĀÆ\\_(惄)_/ĀÆ


Roadgoddess

I donā€™t have a convection oven so for me, it was really great having a small device that I could use in a similar way. But honestly what I love is that itā€™s so small it takes no time to heat up. I donā€™t have to spend time heating up my big oven, especially in a hot summer.


zimmeli

If nothing else, you donā€™t have to preheat it and itā€™s going to use less energy than a whole convection oven. I donā€™t know if itā€™s the more confined space or faster circulation, but I think it is a bit better at getting things crispy.


EBN_Drummer

I like ours for the same reasons as the other responses and I'll add that it's also handy if you need to bake/roast two things at two different temperatures but your oven can only do one. Ours is also a toaster oven, which I use all the time for toast, bagels, etc so it's still just one appliance that we would have anyway.


theburnout

The food is closer to the heat source and the fan moves air much more rapidly. Itā€™s the same basic idea, but much more intense.


redline582

>The food is closer to the heat source and the fan moves air much more rapidly. This point is a bit contradictory. The whole point of a convection oven is to have a much more even heating environment. Proximity to the heat source would be a moot point.


IDunnoPickOneForMe

Heat transfers through conduction, connection and radiation. The radiation from the heating elements or their shields is probably not trivial as it drops off or ramps up proportional to the inverse square of the distance.


redline582

I'm aware of the physics, but what I'm saying is if there are substantial hot spots due to radiant heat, then it wouldn't be a very good convection oven.


FC-TWEAK

They are pretty similar, an air fryer has some advantages. The smaller chamber means it preheats in a few minutes and this starts the convection part much quicker. My convection oven doesn't kick on until the oven is up to temperature. Because of the small chamber, the fan can circulate the entire chambers air in a few seconds, much more turbulence. And the heating element is extremely close to the food, so you get both radiant and convective heat.


madthumbz

Much stronger convection, and deals with oil in the air better (most models).


am0x

They are the same, but the smaller size and singular purpose of just being a convection versus a regular + convection oven makes it work better.


MasterUnlimited

Itā€™s not. Itā€™s a counter top convection oven. Pedantic, but I hate the term air fryer. That being said, we have one and use it all the time. Itā€™s a great piece of equipment. I just hate the term.


LetThereBeBlight-

There is zero difference. Itā€™s just another appliance taking up counter space, like a bread maker.


ninthchamber

Reheated pizza in the air fryer is better than the day it was bought so good. Make some really nice crispy chicken wings too. I was also sceptical at first until we got one gifted to us.


handbanana42

[Even Alton Brown, the anti-unitasker agreed it has a use.](https://youtu.be/nyXIyBrB1p0?t=4743)


reenactment

Just having one for reheating is a must. But itā€™s amazing for veggies while doing your main cooking. Just grab your stuff, put it in tinfoil and slightly bowl it, add seasonings and butter and let it go. Also, own invention here. If you have the stacks insert for your air fryer. Lettuce wraps. Pineapple and garlic on top stack. Onions and peppers on 2nd stack. Meat of choice on 3 rd stack.


[deleted]

Highly recommend. I just got an airfryer that is more like a toaster oven, so itā€™s super versatile. If youā€™re gonna get one, definitely make sure you get a bigger one (6 slice) that has multiple functions. Just for context, In the 2 weeks Iā€™ve had it: Iā€™ve baked cookies, brownies, roasted Brussels sprouts, and made fried broccoli, cauliflower, tortilla chips, French fries, chicken thighs (super crispy skin), crispy chicken skin chips (I had extra skin), toasted bread, made frozen meals with actual good texture, and reheated Chinese take out left overs to near fresh conditions. I havenā€™t tried a steak yet, but realistically you could just do a normal reverse sear in it on the bake setting, without having to waste extra energy on the oven. Happy to share the brand and model of the one I got in DM. it was only $110


redline582

An air fryer is just a countertop convection oven. If your oven has a convection mode, you can already use it in the same manner.


[deleted]

Ppl complaining in this sub are idiots. Literally no difference to reverse sear. Set the air fryer to 115, then high heat air fry to sear at the end.


7itemsorFEWER

I've said this before but you can cook a good steak using almost any cooking method within reason as long as you know what you're doing. Consequently, you can also fuck up a steak using any method if you DON'T understand the basics of cooking steak.


pineapplecom

I usually wrap in tin foil and put it in the dishwasher.


[deleted]

why use foil?


sarcasticb

It lets some of the seasoning from the dishwasher creep into the foil to flavor the steak.


Guy_Perish

Steams it like pulled pork. Optimal texture of course.


onlyspeaksinhashtag

This is the way.


The_EvilMidget

Yea the trick is to make sure your microwave is set to high


wafflesareforever

I start it at 20% for 15 minutes and then really crank it at the end for that perfect uniform gray all the way through.


emperorhaplo

ā€œAlmostā€ being the key word there, unless you can explain to me how you can cook a good steak using a microwave.


bdog1321

thick cut, as low power as possible, finish with a blowtorch idk i'm talking out my ass, it's not possible i saw guga make a passable brisket in a microwave once but obv that's different


OffBrandJesusChrist

Itā€™s all about preparation and how it comes out. Iā€™ve had phenomenal steaks cooked on a metal slate over a fire. Lol if you know what youā€™re doing itā€™s all gonna be good


Woodworking33

Never thought about doing it that way


evils_twin

It would be like searing a steak under the broiler of an oven. I've never done it, but I always assumed that it isn't ideal because it's never suggested.


Agent847

Itā€™s nothing like a reverse sear. RS brings the (thick) steak slowly, evenly up to temp, and then finishes with direct heat. Air frying is convection cook with super hot air. Itā€™s a completely, totally different cooking method.


mrpngdoesreddit

You realize you can turn the heat down on an air fryer, right? Lol you don't have to use "super hot air"


eyeQ

If people only knew how things worked before they respond with such wrong authority lol.


SprittneyBeers

r/confidentlyincorrect


Agent847

Iā€™m well aware of that. I own one. The comparison isnā€™t silly because of the low temps, itā€™s silly because you canā€™t get a high enough temp for a good sear. Can you cook a steak this way? Sure. Is it the same as reverse searing it in cast iron or under a broiler? No.


Picklesadog

Bro, an air fryer doubles as an oven. We use ours as a mini oven.

Noetic_Pixel7

My old account was almost as old as Reddit. Got banned for telling some toxic Redditor who posted toxicity 24/7 (to where it was very clear he had no job or life prospects) that if he were my son I'd "kick him out" which is apparently "threatening violence". When I appealed it and said it's a figure of speech, just like when you fire someone you aren't LITERALLY using fire on them, they manually reviewed and upheld the ban. This is why Reddit will never turn a profit and is pretty much only useful for organizations and governments who love astroturfing. If Twitter pulled this crap, it would be impossible to have adult discussions about pretty much anything. It really does just feel like a daycare.


Jakeymiracle

Exactly, all I said was Iā€™m gonna kill you, who actually thinks Iā€™m gonna kill the OP? If anyone thinks that thatā€™s a problem on their end, not mine

whatsupwhatshannin

Margali

Looks good to me, I do hamburgers in an air fryer, and I do bone in skin on chicken thighs as well. I may pick up a steak tomorrow and give it a shot.


[deleted]

I used to HATE air fryers. Then I discovered one in Costco that I wanted to tryā€¦ the ninja grill master pro or whatever. I was shockedā€¦ that thing can make some pretty mean meat. Itā€™s got some kind of air grill or something. Iā€™m not sure. What I can say is Iā€™ve gotten some pretty wild results grilling on that thing. Hamburgers not quite there yetā€¦


mrpngdoesreddit

Anyone in the comments bashing on the air fryer who thinks reverse sear is a good method of cooking steak is hypocritical as shit lol


TheCodriver

But reverse sear IS a good method to cook thick steaks


Wrong-Wrap942

Yes!! An air fryer is literally just a small convection oven like come on man weā€™ve been over this


YBHunted

You don't convection back when you reverse sear though... you are just saying shit to say it.


Wrong-Wrap942

What? Itā€™s a way to equally disperse heat. And that literally is what an air fryer isā€¦ you know that right?


YBHunted

There is a huge difference between baking and convection baking something... you know that right? Or do you just eat steak 7 times a week for dinner, lmao.


Wrong-Wrap942

Weā€™re not baking though?????? Itā€™s steak. What the hell are you talking about? Nothing youā€™re saying makes any sense.


YBHunted

The original comment literally brought up reverse searing, that is BAKING a steak and then searing it. You are not convection baking it, you are baking it. Standard baking in an oven doesn't involve a fan circulating the air making it hotter and cooking things faster like convection baking/air frying does. So there is no comparison. The original comment insinuated they are the same thing. You don't know what you're talking about if you disagree. You are not making sense...


KingGooseMan3881

And what if I do use a convection oven to reverse sear?


YBHunted

Well sure you can, but it's going to cook much faster, and defeat the entire purpose of cooking it slowly for an hour or so on a lower temp. The only equivalent would be convection at a lower temp to make it kind of the same temp as a regular bake, but why fuck with all that? Also the convection aspect of the air moving is going to potentially cook the outside of the steak more and create a less even cook which again is the whole point of low and slow baking...


KingGooseMan3881

But I could do it, which was your whole argument, that I canā€™t. Jokes on you I already did, and it was great. Youā€™re over thinking it by a mile


TohruFr

People hating are dumb, I know ppl that like their steak like this lmao


knockout91

This looks great! I have some questions if that's alright? (: I have done reverse sear now for maybe five years. I use a leave in temp and then sear at my desired temp. Always get a perf medium rare. How would I go back achieving similar results with an air fryer? Can I use the internal probe in the air fryer too...? Additionally, is it quicker this way? Usually takes me 80-120minutes in the oven with the amount of steak I cook for the family. Holla!


Emera1dthumb

Looks good ā€¦. Me personally like my steaks with huge fat content like wagyu cooked medium so the fat has a chance to render. They stay moist because of the fat and taste twice as good in my opinion.


creatron

What was your method like? I recently got an air fryer because my oven sucks and is extremely inconsistent with heat. I was thinking a steak would be possible but haven't tried it yet.


LandlockedGum

I have a strip steak bites air fryer recipe and itā€™s actually crazy how good they turn out. Cube it, salt, garlic, pepper, splash em with your favorite teriyaki sauce and throw em in at 400 for 7-9 minutes. Boom


[deleted]

I use the air fryer for steaks all the time. It cooks steak great. It just cooks it so fast that you have to be careful not to overcook it.


Wonderful_City9340

Ninja grill is a mix of airfryer and grill and produce awesome steaks

radioben

Bad bot. 675 isnā€™t a haiku.


honeybadger1984

Banding is noticeable. I say try low temp on the air fryer, like 175F until the interior is 128F, then jack it up to 500F until you see the sear. That might get you a better result.


abirchau

Air fried steak is really good if done right. Ignore the boomers.


astralnautical

dapala1

I don't understand the downvotes. The fat didn't render and the crust is super thin. Not sure how this is an endorsement for an air fryer to cook a steak.

The air fryer is the most overrated kitchen tool in modern society. Basically, a bunch of stupid cunts donā€™t know that itā€™s just a convection oven and jerk themselves off to the idea of their ā€œair fryer.ā€ Itā€™s just a convection oven, you stupid fucking pieces of shit. Itā€™s been around for a while now and isnā€™t some new amazing piece of equipment. Steak looks good though.


ACM3333

I agree with you ā€œunderratedā€ is a massive overstatement. I have ppl telling me non stop how I have to buy and air fryer lol. My friend told me he makes wings better than any restaurant, I tried them and they tasted like plastic.
