Got myself a heat gun to strip paint. After the home project was done, used it to air fry foods at 600° C in just seconds. Heat gunned sweet fruit (peaches, bananas) are now my favourite snack. Boredom is the father of invention.
@fesshole wait a minute this a good idea
@SomeVeganCheeseIsOk @maltita @fesshole vapours, the famously stationary particles.
@fesshole i wonder if this would be hot enough to cook prawn crackers or crispy noodles and such.
Jun 23, 2026, 8:36 PM@ShadowInTheVoid @fesshole I _must_ try with prawn crackers!
Jun 23, 2026, 11:31 PM@ShadowInTheVoid prawn crackers almost definitely, did them in an air fryer and it's fascinating to watch. You'll have to hold them down under a cooling rack or something though to stop them blowing away.
Jun 23, 2026, 8:10 PM@fesshole OMG THIS IS BRILLIANT!
I'm going to have to try this.
Shrug. I bought a food dehydrator a while back. Works great, real cheap, makes delicious dried figgies.
@fesshole I suddenly love you.
@fesshole I admit I don't cook much at all, but this seems like a bad idea to me... either a burnt outside, or a raw inside?
@solitha indeed you can only do this with things that are safe to eat raw. Heavily cooking the outside while leaving the rest raw is indeed the goal here. Similar to cooking something in a very hot frying pan.
