I'd sooner go for a propane wok stand/burner if I was going to mess with gas tbh. I like tools I can actively and directly use instead of just a box I tell to do something and then trust to work.
I just happen to have been given an air fryer despite me repeatedly saying "aren't those just shitty tiny ovens? the hype seems like a meme from people who can't cook," and deciding to give it a fair try. So far my cynicism seems to be validated: it's not granularly controllable like an oven and I can't operate it directly like with a cast iron pan on a stove, it's literally just set a temperature and cook time and trust that the inscrutable box is doing it right.
I was being facetious, gas air fryers don't exist and anyone who tries to DIY one should get a swirlie in the dishwasher.
Lmao I read that and assumed it must be an American thing
Lmao, I didn't even stop to think about the problems with that before rejecting it out of hand. I could imagine some sort of convection camp stove thing running off a propane tank, like a glorified grill with a fan in it, but gas ranges are demanding and risky enough and require ventilation that some shitty little countertop appliance wouldn't have. Even if the build quality was high enough that it wasn't a constant fire/explosion hazard, it would be dumping carbon monoxide everywhere.
