Got one as well for Christmas, didn't ask for it or want one but according to my folks it was sooooo on sale that it was kind of a 'why not?' thing. I am finding a decent amount more use than I'd thought, if anything it's fast as hell, and I'm sure uses less power than an oven and the air fry mode does make a difference. Also mine has a dehydrator which rocks for my fresh herbs when they start wilting
yeah mine has all sorts of functions including broil, bake, dehydrate and fry. And yes it is fast as fuck
Damn that sounds sick as hell
been air frying 4 years and i assure you the preheating is almost never necessary.
I use mine for everything, i love it. Tofu with a little sesame oil and corn starch. Asparagus with garlic oil. cheesy Texas toast. leftovers. it all goes in there.
I'm enjoying it too. Brussel sprouts do rule. Gonna go put feed mode tomorrow with stuff from work and eat so much battered food
lol yeah I am gonna be eating so much battered food now that I never could in the microwave. Also spring rolls.
Currently making burritos that I'm finishing off in em for crispiness.
Yeah my next two experiments are going to be frozen chimichangas and spring rolls
Folks. It is perfect for burritos! Wrap em tight and for this I rubbed em with just a tiny bit of oil. Got taquito on the outside burrito on the inside. I was skeptical but this does change things.
i been finishing them in the pan like a fool this is brilliant
This is really gonna change things
tempura
Another commenter:
How does the tempura work in the air fryer? I ask only because that's a very very watery batter.
Uh, I'm sorry for suggesting the idea... you think you can easily clean that up
Easily? No because I don't have a kitchen. Still better than microwave? ABSOLUTELY.

You clean it after
How, please, and thank you.
I just put the baking pan underneath the fryer cage.
I meant is there a recipe you used for vegetable tempura?
oh no I just got it from the freezer aisle at work. I don't have a kitchen that's why I am so stoked on this thing. My friend and I been sharing a microwave till now
Ohh, cool! I don't have a full kitchen either but I do also have an airfryer so this is great to know. I'll pick some of those up.
Thank you!
