Anyone have any thoughts on air fryers?

[RamblingMad]

What do you plan to cook with it?

Has anyone tried the Air fryer lid for the Inst-Pot? My DS really wants an air fryer but the amount of real estate it takes up on the counter (or in the pantry) is a real deal-breaker for us.

We use ours often. I loved it in the summer so that I wasn't turning the oven on as much. I usually only cook for 2 or 3 people, more than that and I'd have to look into a bigger one. I got mine at Aldi for about $30. I use it most for baked potatoes, chicken (seriously, this is the best way to cook chicken breasts), reheating items and frozen 'quick' products like soft pretzels, mini pizzas, fries, etc.

I got the lid for my dd and she really likes it. She uses it for sweet potatoes and black bean burgers and stuff like that.

I agree. Chicken breasts are so juicy cooked in he air fryer.

How do you fix the chicken breast? Do you just put in boneless/skinless in a marinade?

@LuvOrlando if you are interested in the Breville it's on sale at several places including Bed Bath and Beyond. I read on slickdeals that somebody was able to use a 20% coupon in store.

As luck would have it my toaster broke last week. My ds has been asking for a toaster oven forever so I thought I'd just get a cheap toaster oven to replace the toaster but my dh told me not to get something cheap. He said make sure you get a "good" one that you won't complain about. I've complained about my toaster for years I ended up ordering a Breville, I didn't get the actual air fryer one I got the PRO but wanted to let you know that that brand is on sale.
