I didn’t want to spend a bunch of money just to try one out. So far, so good.

on the internet. Just Google whatever you want to cook and add "air fryer" to the request. You'll be surprised. Good luck!

I do most veggies this way. It also makes a killer grilled cheese in 6 minutes, although you do have to turn it halfway through. I use mayo on both sides of both pieces of bread and get a perfect sammie every time at 400 degrees.

You can even do soft-cooked eggs in the shell--10 minutes at 270 degrees, then plunge them into an ice water bath or run them under cold water until you can touch them. I forget how long it takes to do hard-cooked because I do them in the Instant Pot.

Have barely used it. Takes longer to make something then just doing it on the stove--and a lot less at a time.

Food is usually good though. Mine came with a recipe book.

Made Buffalo drumsticks. Hardest part was gauging temp/cook time. Already thinking about the next thing.
