We just got this and like it BUT it can be messy to air fry bc crumbs can go everywhere putting food in and taking it out- rather annoying! Aluminum foil is worth saving your pans! But it has potential!
Thanks for this review. I was leaning to a cuisinart air fryer but you have answered my question. I was at walmart yesterday and with all its tray packed, I wasn't able to figure out if the cocoking tray could slid in just above the bottom heating element and you pretty showed it @ 02.17.
I've been using this one for about 5 months now and its not very good. It burns the food in the back, unless you rotate your food. I make alot of frozen cookies that came out crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle with my old air fryer, but NOT in this one. The ones in the back burn. They just don't come out right at all. My machine has a huge gap in the door! More than what I've seen in others vids. The handles do get hot. And even tho it comes with a recipe book, I really didn't like many of them. It's hard to know if you should cook on air fry or convection oven. Like for example, casseroles. I always have to guess and I never know which pan to use or what shelf, so I find myself constantly having to search for those answers, that I have come to find out gourmia doesn't answer. Don't use foil, use parchment paper. The pans are very hard to clean, unless you don't have a problem with massive scrubbing. Anything left on the pan will continue to burn and smoke if you don't get it all off before your next use. There's NO light, so if I want to check my food without opening the doors and pulling it out I have to shine a flashlight in to see. Also the 8x8 pan casseroles I've made took way longer than in a reg oven with a 9X13 pan.
Just use EASY OFF OVEN SPRAY (low fumes)! I use it on the doors and everything!!! Easy Peezy. The very bottom you can cover with heavy duty aluminum foil.
So tell me, I don’t own a air fryer. If I put a bowl of soup in a microwave to heat up, how do you do that in an air fryer? Do I still need my microwave?
You can put your soup in an oven safe container like stainless steel or glass(avoid aluminum foil) and heat it up like you would in an oven.. You may need to play around with the temp and times though. Heating up food in the microwave is actually very unhealthy because of how it alters the molecules of the food/nutrients. It also has non ionizing radiation which is not good.
