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
@maltita @fesshole uh, maybe not with a tool that has been in paint vapours
@rha @maltita @fesshole the paint isn't inside the heat gun, if you were using it right. Shouldn't be vapors.
@SomeVeganCheeseIsOk @maltita @fesshole vapours, the famously stationary particles.
@rha @maltita @fesshole if they are famously stationary why assume they are clinging to the heat gun like invisible groupies?
Dehydrated bananas are nice, the method to get them here is out of the average sure but as long as it works!
@fesshole i wonder if this would be hot enough to cook prawn crackers or crispy noodles and such.
@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.

@fesshole

I'm going to have to try this.

@fesshole

Shrug. I bought a food dehydrator a while back. Works great, real cheap, makes delicious dried figgies.

@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.
