I use mine all the time. I have to say my favorite thing to make in the air fryer is a whole roast chicken! Makes the meat so so delicious and does not dry it out!

Yes! I do own one personally and they are WORTH IT. You can cook like literally anything on it. Once my gas ran out for my stove so i tried cooking rice and it worked! Although ill admit it took way more time than a normal stove. But im not a great cook myself so maybe there might be a more efficient method. But its incredibly healthy and needs less oil. For french fries, just sprinke a dab of oil and thats enough to keep it just the way u make the deep fried ones.

I've been on the fence about an air fryer for so long, but I think this forum convinced me to take the leap. I am manifesting soon.

If you like chicken sandwiches, this is an easy recipe I use.
Marinate chicken fillets in either pickle juice or butter milk depending on your preference for at least 4 hours.
Pat dry and coat with a thin slurry of water, flour, slat, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and Cajun seasoning.
Finally cover with some crushed up corn flakes and spray oil on top.
Cook in the air fryer for 14-20 mins at 400F depending on the thickness and flip half way.
Assemble the sandwich with your favorite toppings and sauces and enjoy!

I use my air fryer multiple times a week. Before I got mine, I got heartburn after eating fried foods. Now, using the air fryer, I can eat my favorite fried foods and avoid heartburn.

I have one but I NEED to use it more often. When I use it, the food tastes so good. The thing is amazing and you can cook anything in it. But my husband is more accustomed to more "traditional" ways of cooking. So, it will take some time to convince him. But I LOVE it :)

I have tried food cooked in air fryer, found it a bit dry since oil was just brushed on it. But the root vegetables come our very good.

I have looked at them and the videos on Amazon. I would not want to have a huge cleanup. Looks like you can buy paper items to have less mess. The other concern is that it could only feed one person with some of them. So, for 2 people, a larger one would be a must. I am not sold on it yet.
