AIR FRYER....YOUR THOUGHTS?

Although I have no knowledge of the room of the cooking and the cleaning, I am aware that my wife and all her friends talk about how amazing they are, constantly.

I've had mine for several years and have always enjoyed the food I've cooked with it. A couple of weeks ago I cooked some hot dogs with it and they tasted as if they came right off the grill.

Word of warning. I burned the ever living hell out of my hand on an air fryer. Skin bubbled right off. Ghastly. Be careful reaching in them things.

Its much faster, then the oven. I use mine for chicken fingers, fries, taquitos. You can also just throw in a pork chop and set the time to 9 minutes, come back and its done.

I've owned two of them - different styles. One was impossible to clean sufficiently. The other was okay, cleaning wise, but for me, not worth the space it took up in my very small kitchen. I ended up giving both of them away. They just didn't fit my lifestyle, I guess.

I've had one for about 5 or 6 years now and I tend to think it's overrated. I have found it's best for a rotisserie chicken (though this can smoke up the house), reheating food like pizza, and cooking frozen treats like pizza rolls, nuggets, or mozz sticks. Overall, I don't think it's worth the price. It's like a small quick oven. I give it a 5/10, useful in some situations, but not a rockstar in the kitchen, especially for how much counter space it takes up.

I have one and use it everyday. I think air-frying is healthier because we can fry food with no or less oil.
However, some dishes such as fried chicken breast may not taste as good as oil-fried. For such case, you may need an oil sprayer: https://www.google.com/search?q=oil+sprayer
