Fantastic little machines. French fries, those little hashbrown patties, shake & bake chicken or pork chops, anything you'd do in the oven, olive-dredged and flavoured potato wedges, reheated pizza, salmon, tater tots, samosas, reheating anything originally deep-fried, wings, and oven-ready appetizers of course. List goes on. We use ours almost daily. Reheating pizza in the microwave is gross - pop it in the air fryer for 3 minutes and it's perfect.
Heard so many singing their praises so when I caught a small (2qt) on sale I bought one mainly just to see what they were about. I've not been all that impressed with the one I bought so far. It's okay for pre-packaged frozen french fries, onion rings, etc. Really not much quicker or cooked better than baking in range oven per package instructions.
Mine is round and like I said just 2 qt model so if I ever decide to buy another one I believe a square or rectangle one where food can be laid out flat and big enough to spread food out would be a better way to go. Our range oven has the convection cooking feature but never have tried it yet.
I use it for chicken and to reheat things I want to be crispy again. To me it isnt frying but a small convection oven. So I am happy using it for that. I did cook some pretty good hot dogs in it
Wife loves hers and uses it almost daily. Has a rotisserie attachment we've used for whole chickens and roasts. Use it for about anything we use the oven for when making smaller portions. Tried it with bacon recently and turned out great. Prefer it to the microwave for reheating leftovers.
We were gifted a Ninja one. Neighbors were moving and didn’t have room for it at their new place apparently. As Tikka mentioned, they kick ass for fries and tots. BTW - proper fry sauce has a bit of horseradish and Seasoning salt it it. Woot!
