I love this air fryer! I don’t know how I managed without one for so long. I was always concerned about counter space but it now has a permanent spot in my kitchen.
I think anything smaller than this sized basket is not enough. This is big enough to easily cook meals for 2-4 people.
Using it - it pre heats quickly. You can set the time and temperature on the front of the air fryer.
Results - Does it come close to food tasting “fried”? Yes and no. For the things I’ve cooked it in so far, it tastes like it was baked and then fried on the outside. This is OK with me as the amount of oil I’ve used has gone down a lot.
There are pre set menu options, I have not tried those yet and have picked all the temperatures and times manually.
The non stick coating for the basket is great. I have not had anything stick in the air fryer.
Foods I’ve cooked:
- Chicken wings: wow I can get very close to fried chicken and only need to baste the wings in olive oil. They come out very crispy.
- Chicken breasts: very juicy and evenly cooked.
- Salmon filets: 8 min cook time and the filets are perfect.
- Sweet potato fries: need to soak the piece in water before cooking. You need to do this to get rid of the starch. The first time I did not soak them in water and they came out soggy. The next two time I soaked the sweet potato fries in water for 20-30 min and then air fried them and they came out crispier. Still have not managed to get the deep fried texture.
- Flank steak: equivalent to cooking steak on a cast iron. Very juicy.
- Brussel sprouts: the crispiest I’ve ever had. I will no longer be making Brussels in a cast iron.
- Croissant: did not make them fresh, just reheated some store bought ones. Made the croissant flaky like it was just baked.
Don’t think about getting an air fryer, just do it and you’ll appreciate the new possibilities that you can cook.
