Definitely try using an air fryer instead of an oven for it – they should turn out much better, and air fryers are cheap and easily available these days. Check your local thrift stores. (And in the long run, they’re actually cheaper to use, because they cook faster and with far less power usage than a full-sized oven.)
It would take at least two batches in the air fryer to make enough fries and that would require about $350 to rewire my kitchen so that it’s not all on one 15 amp breaker. Or cooking in a room that isn’t in the kitchen.
Take it out on the back porch and pretend it’s a barbecue. Outdoor cooking can be fun!
(And since it gets done so much faster, needing to do two batches isn’t a big deal. It will still get done in less time than it takes to even preheat the big oven.)
Unfortunately the garage, back porch, kitchen, mud room and a random wall in the living room all share the same 15 amp breaker. I am in desperate need of rewiring the situation but I need a lot of romex, and junction boxes to pull it off.
Situation is better than when I moved in. The entire house was on 40 amps. I moved half of the garage onto a new sub panel and then main breaker is now a full service breaker. But that entire leg is on an undersized and outdated subpanel. Making it worse. It’s a commercial sub panel for square D breakers. They don’t make anymore. That entire panel needs replacement eventually or I need to move everything that’s in there to the main breaker panel. I can do the work myself. I just can’t afford any of the materials.
Air fryers and extension cords are a dangerous combo. Make sure you use at least a 12 gauge one and if you can use one with a fuse.
Generally this is like plugging a space heater into an extension cord. You should not do it. You should be aware of all the risks if you are going to do it. You should mitigate those risks as much as possible.
These fries look a bit sad…

There ya go, already found the solution!

I got a dual air fryer. You can run an extension cord. Better in every way.
