I love the air fryer!
It’s a great new way to eat highly fatty foods!
I have a cuisinart one that is more like a toaster oven. It runs way hot - like 50 degrees hot. My other beef is it’s a bitch to keep clean. Don’t even think of cooking anything battered in it. Wings just taste better cooked in oil to me, so I fry them in a cast iron grill outside on the weber.
This a a very cool toy. I did chicken wings last night. Some Famous Dave’s rub and a spray of light oil into the basket. Just amazing wings. I have used it for fried green beans too. Try broccoli florets — put them in a ziplock bag with a tablespoon of olive oil, a tablespoon of garlic powder, a shake of salt and pepper and mix and let sit for 30 minutes. Remove from bag and Airfry for about 10 to15 minutes. Crispy, delicious and awesome.
Any gators in that canal?
I highly recommend the types WITHOUT electronics, such as this one (which I own the prior model):

To be clear for those unknowing:
An ‘air fryer’ is simply a self-contained convection oven with a basket rather than an oven grate.
Period.
Features vary, but I prefer simple. For $40, it’s a cheap experiment and, lemme tell ya: Best roasted veggies & french fries I’ve ever had!
(I’ve not yet tried chicken or other meats, but I assure you that with no temperature control, meat thickness and placement in the ‘fryer’ are key to results).

Sorry, I threw up when the Stacy Abrams’ commercial came on before your video, thus I didn’t make it that far.
This was a great video.
I am convinced.
gonna buy one.
I have a Ninja Foodi air fryer/pressure cooker/dehydrator etc etc and I LOVE IT. I use it almost every day and will never go back to frying chicken in all that oil. Super easy to use, easy to clean. Pressure cooking eggs is the BEST way to make hard boiled eggs. I now make deviled eggs almost weekly ‘cause the shells practically fall off the egg. Also, if you have a dish that requires stove top cooking and then putting it in the oven, you can do it all in one pot. I made my husband and boys get me a Ninja Grill for Christmas and use it just as much as the pressure cooker. Between the two foodis and our smoker I rarely use my oven.
My air fryer is a setting and a special basket in my regular kitchen oven (samsung). Really just convection bake with this special rack/basket thing.
It is fabulous.
Here’s a comparison of dedicated air fryers vs. toaster ovens with an air fryer setting:

Never did cluck in my air fryer, but it does a great job on fries and O rings. You need to “dial it in” a little as the factory settings are not exact.
It’s not a fryolater but it’s better than oven cooked.
My wife bought one that also dehydrates but, as with several other kitchen gadgets, she hasn’t used it. I was looking through the little recipe book and found one for beef jerky, which intrigued me.
I got a ninja foodie air fryer a week ago, dont cook anything for as long as it says to. Back off the cook times.
My nephew bought one, said the food was good but it was the devil to pay when it came time to clean.
Enjoyed the video! I recently bought a Foodi Ninja.
Just love it! Cooked the best ribeye steak I have ever cooked!
It has several functions, broil, air fry, bake. Also has another lid that allows for pressure cooking and fast thawing. It is large and has room for several levels of food.
With an accessory 5 tier shelf, I can dehydrate things.
Haven’t used my oven since I bought it.
Today, in one, 20 minute span, I cooked 25 halves of Jalapeno poppers. Then, baked to large squash that were cut thick.
God bless America!
Yuk. It makes food taste like the inside of a stereo amplifier. I tossed mine.
I use my air fryer at least several times a week. Made hash browns this morning with only a tablespoon of oil. Had salmon filets yesterday that were amazing with just basic salt, pepper and Old Bay and a spritz of olive oil. I even make Indian dishes like Bombay Potatoes and chicken tikka kabobs in my air fryer. Next to my pressure cooker this is the best kitchen applianceI own.
