I have the Emeril Lagasse Power Air Fryer 360 XL. This basically a small oven with air fryer in it. I cook chicken, fish, pizza, toast, and bacon. I might try other things, but right now most of my food is TV diners type food. Many people tell that things are too creasy, but the instruction with mine tell you to cook in a basket and put wet paper towels in a tray below it. This is also good when frying bacon, to do away with the smoke.

I has taken me a while to get used to cooking this way, try things and change time or temps until you get it to your liking. The air frying settings create more heat and can be turned on or off on mine. When I am doing pizza I cut down on the time and heat settings and the last couple of minutes turn on the Air Fryer fan and it helps to crisp things up and they aren't over-cooked.

I got the largest one which is a higher wattage and a larger oven. Supposed to be able to rotisse a 6 pound chicken or bake a 12 pound turkey. I haven't tried either one yet.

Garry-

Haven’t done it yet, but I will try some Pinenuts in it today. Love the fries.

They're ok. Just a convection oven. They do make some mean chicken wings without the mess of a fryer. But it's still just one more small appliance I have to clean up and store.

It goes on the shelf in the pantry with the waffle maker, george foreman, blender, elec. frying pan, crock pot, instant pot, cake pop maker, air popcorn machine, deep fryer and dehydrator.

I use mine daily. I have this one. Air Fryer

I use if for everything. "Fast" foods like frozen pizza, chicken strips, fries, etc. I cook bacon, burgers, dogs, sausage, pork chops, grilled chicken, breaded chicken, fish (breaded or baked), breaded shrimp. I've used it for desserts like cobbler, apple crisp, brownies (anything that can be baked in an 8x8 pan, 9x13 won't fit.) It's great for toasting things like English muffins, or garlic bread. Mine has a rotisserie and I've used that for cooking small whole chickens, and pork loin roasts. Basically, anything that would normally be deep fried, grilled, or baked can be made in it.

Thank you Angela…sounds perfect for saving space, or in a small house or apartment with no conventional stove. Or to replace a microwave . I would like to try one .

While I have both a microwave and oven, I still use this more than either of them. What I especially love about it, is living down here in the south, it doesn't heat up the house the way the oven does. Before I got this, I basically baked nothing from May-Sept. unless I did it at the break of day. Now I can bake anytime. It's also quicker than a standard oven. By the time a normal oven preheats, a lot of things will already be done in the air fryer.

We have one but don't use it much. Does good on chicken but that's about it for us.

I despise fries done in it, nothing like fries done in peanut oil.

Thanks Angela, that info is very good . I think it is better on the food to warm up leftovers with this , than the microwave. I can really see this being the perfect choice for a small kitchen, or one without a stove. It can be moved and cook in it anywhere. I like the one you have shown in the link too.

We have this one. It’s great.

I toss my fresh cut fries in about a tablespoon of used fryer oil and then season and put in the air fryer. Gives you a little taste of the fryer but not soaked or cooked in them.

That sounds like a real plus too, not needing to use much oil ...which I dont deep fry things anyway , but this option to still be able to do that with minimal oil is nice.

This really makes me feel blessed. I don't own any of those things !

She doesn't complain about a garage and camp full of hunting/fishing/trapping gear and furs/mounts and I don't complain (as far as she knows) about accessories to make me good food. It's a win-win.

Win win.... good food . I have a good large crock pot. Very useful in slow cook full meals . I'll use that when I make my collagen stock out of beef and chook bones. I've been reading up on using it for slow cooking wild turkey meat.

If electricity is used at all , and most all of us do in many ways, air fryers seem like a cost-effective faster way to prepare most foods. And defiantly take up less space for small areas. Or as a good backup in case a stove goes on the blink.

I prefer much more , cooking over flame, gas or propane stoves... are perfect. I'll always choose that way foremost.

"waffle maker, george foreman, blender, elec. frying pan, crock pot, instant pot, cake pop maker, air popcorn machine, deep fryer and dehydrator."

Of those things I only have a waffle maker, crockpot, instant pot, and dehydrator. I use the air fryer more than all four of those things combined though. Next in line would be the crockpot. For me, the instant pot was a waste of money. I hardly ever use it.

The instant pot is the best thing since sliced bread if you use it for the right thing. I only use it for "one pot meals" which is mainly some type of pasta. We usually make dinner with the Insant pot about once a week. The first time we used it we wanted to make some chicken stir fry. Much quicker to just do it in a pan on the stove. But for pasta or one pot deals its the cats meow. Dump everything in cook it on high pressure for 4 minutes and dinner is served

I've found that to be true, yes. I just rarely make one pot meals, lol. Maybe I'll have to find some new ones to try out.

Never heard of this instant pot. Almost sounds like a crock pot, but faster. Pasta and rice, legumes and other things requiring water can all be fixed with crock pot, though I havent done that in a long time.

Angela, it seems that those things, spaghetti, grains such as rice, etc, that need water cooking, still need to be done the conventional way, on a stove , not with the fryer .

I like my instant pot. Once you go down the rabbit hole of recipes, you can find some real cool ideas. Much better at doing pot roast type stuff than a traditional crock pot. Pot roast, shredded chicken, ribs, cube steak, all family favorites at our house in it.

The instant pot is basically a pressure cooker. It provides the same result as a crock pot in a much shorter time. Great for pasta
