This is how supply and demand and inflation are supposed to work. Prices get inflated because the supply is low and the demand is high. We’re now at the tipping point where the market is saying it’s too much. We should have been saying it was too much, via our wallets, years ago.
Cry all you want about corporate greed but it’s largely unregulated so the supply for their wallet still counts as supply. If you’re still paying for it, they’re going to keep raising the prices. What’s something worth? What someone will pay for it.
Why is beef still expensive? Because people keep buying it. https://www.marketplace.org/2024/01/10/if-inflation-slowed-down-in-2023-why-is-my-grocery-bill-so-high/
It's not supply being low, it's about captured markets via strategic regulation chokes.
I can literally buy a half pallet of hasbrowns for less than 4 or 5 trips to the family at McD. I just am not going to invest in a fryer...
Air fryer works extremely well for hash browns and tater tots.
Air fryer is GOAT. You can cook anything in there, even regular old chicken comes out delicious.
Bruh mine is not the basket style, it's like a mini oven that includes a convection oven feature. I can bake a pizza and it's so much more convenient I've been making these ridiculously healthy but delicious bran muffins every week lol
Yo, you wanna drop a recipe for those bran muffins?
Lol I'll do that in the morning, way too tired right now. I didn't think anyone would be interested in my by bran muffins but me. This is exciting!
I am also looking forward to your brand muffin recipe! I have the same type of air fryer oven thing, I love it!
I edited the original comment to add the muffin recipe.
Thanks dawg, you the real mvp
Fwiw - an air fryer and a convection oven are basically the same thing. In fact, "air fryer" is just a renamed and shrunk down convection oven for branding/sales purposes.
My air fryer is an air fryer microwave combo, and it has the ability to turn on the air fryer and the microwave at the same time, which is an amazing feature.
You can cook food like a frozen lasagna in it, and it comes out like you cooked it in the oven in something like 1/3rd the time.
I knew the air fryer is a convection oven but I didn't know there were microwaves that had one. That sounds amazing.
If it fits in my air fryer/toaster oven, I'll use that instead of the main oven. It's great, I reduce the suggested time by 25% and don't even have to preheat it for food to come out cooked right.
You air fryer people are becoming worse than vegans /s
You could probably cook those in a toaster.
They sell mini fryers for under $100. I was gifted one that I never use because one liter of oil, is one liter too many.
The "investment" is not purely about the initial cost. It's about buying oil and either having to chill it between uses and clean the machine or using it almost daily. The less you use a fryer the more time it takes to use, and if your using it constantly that just means your constantly eating like shit. The fact of the matter is I don't need a fryer and I don't actually need a hashbrown.
The worst part is a fryer is the cost of 4-6 value meals or 20 hashbrowns on the low end.
You’re going to have to explain this to me better. What “market” is being captured by what strategic regulation chokes?
Around here I can get shrimp cheaper than most beef, if I hit a good sale...
