I keep thinking about getting one. I really feel like fried chicken but don't feel like the grease. I can't eat bread so I can't do breading to make the chicken more crispy on the outside. I just use nuts and nut powder.

I'll check out Costco here in Canada. Probably more expensive here but what you going to do. Everything is!

Please let us know how you like it. I am seriously considering buying one.

Breading is not required, unless you want it. Spritz with oil and seasonings.

I'm interested in fajitas with roasted veggies, baked stuffed peppers, fish...breaded and otherwise, and roasted vegetable recipes.

My brother got us one for Christmas but it's still in the basement. I think we wonder about adding yet another appliance to our small kitchen! Maybe we should try it.

My husband was looking at one recently somewhere and asking me about it. I told I had no experience or knowledge as to the quality of the food it produces. I would definitely try one. I too have very limited space in this new kitchen. I had tons of storage space in my old house. Keep us updated please!

I've had one for about 2 yrs and love it. couldn't live without it - or wouldn't want to. It dies and I buy another one immediately. mine's about 3.5 qts.

it's just me here and has worked fine. made a steak in it and it was great. I make toast in it, garlic bread, fries - it's great for a small amount of those for me.

I've also made half a recipe (on the onion box) of the green bean casserole and baked in it. I have a small 'pot' (with a handle on it) that goes into it for things like that.

I made a small meatloaf in it - one of those tiny tin foil type loaf pans you can buy at the store, fits in mine. and baked potatoes. so much better than heating up the big oven for the little bits I make. you can certainly cook a lot more in it than I do. I've watched demos on TV of them making wings, a chicken, a cake, and numerous other dishes.

you could look up The Blue Jean Chef online videos and watch a few of her demos in using one - that might help your decision on it.

oh, and I also toast Italian subs that I buy at places like subway, JJs in it too.

also, check that you can easily read the numbers for time and temp. mine are very small but now I don't really need to see them to set them, since I've gotten used to where to set things. but would check that if I was rebuying now. And that the basket will separate for the pull out base. mine doesn't and I think it would be much easier to clean if it did separate. I'd want that too if rebuying in the future.

And make sure it will go up to at least 400 degrees temp and an hour in time to cook.

This little oven is so easy to use! If you want to check something for doneness, you can open it as often as you like and it will start back up as soon as you close the door.

You can also add things to the basket later on in the cooking process. It comes with a metal grate that can be used in a couple of ways.....including to layer items in your recipe or to heat things up in the last few minutes of cooking the main item.

We have air fried some large breaded cod filets with great results, he has made a baked potato with the most crunchy, flavorful skin. I toasted some pecans for salads,

Tonight, I'm going to air bake some chicken breasts and thighs after being given a light spritz of oil and a sprinkling of our favorite herbs and spices. No breading. I know that the skin will be browned and crisp on the top and bottom.

For dessert lovers, you can bake in this appliance, too. Even use your own oven safe baking dishes, as long as they fit.

I swore off new kitchen appliances. I have more than enough. Then my husband wanted an Instant pot. I caved and we bought the 3qt. Love it so much we bought the 6qt. I'm not even going to look to see what you bought. Seriously, I have a ton of cupboards in my kitchen and am running out of room to store appliances...….. Not looking and you can't make me. :)

So isn’t the air fryer just convection cooking?

Debby - "I caved and we bought the 3qt."

do you think it's big enough for 1 person? not to cook 'em but to use it?

I probably wouldn't pressure cook much more than 2-3 chicken breasts at time or more than a pound of roast. is it big enough for those? safely?

Just got one a week ago. I'm still learning how to use it but think I will like it. Looking for ideas what to fix.

Sounds interesting.....hhhhmmmm.......

lukki.....an air fryer is a type of convection oven, yes. It does use convection cooking as its function.

jkayd, rinse and dry a small chicken, coat with oil or ghee and spices of your choice. Preheat your fryer for two minutes, place the chicken breast side down for, cook for thirty minutes at 350, turn over and cook for thirty more minutes.

It provides a juicy chicken with a fabulously crunchy skin.....better than we get from our rotisserie.

I know a few people who love their air fryers. I’m just not committed to one yet. I do use an IP about twice a month, more in winter. My DD uses hers even more since she is prepping foods in advance and is eating keto.

We made fresh french fries over the weekend in ours - sprinkled a little olive oil on them and salt. They were SO good... my dh said not as good as deep fried but certainly better than eating all that grease.

I love it most for re-heating foods - doesn't make anything chewy like a microwave can. Really good for restaurant leftovers. : )
