Air fryer

I got an air fryer for Christmas, it’s the Emiril 9 in 1 and I don’t even know where to begin.

What are easy things you make in one? Is cleaning it a pain?

Is it like a toaster oven? That's what I have. It is easy to make chicken, fries, and such. That is what I have used so far. It gets things crispy like fying without all the grease. I also use mine like a toaster oven so I dont have to use my big oven on things like bread, rolls, and small batches of foods.

It would probably be very helpful in the camper.

Yes it’s like a toaster oven but bigger, we replaced our toaster oven with it. It has all kinds of functions like baking and rotisserie and dehydration. I’m going to start easy with chicken and veggies.

I got one for DH for Christmas last year. We mostly use it for frozen food (French fries, both potato and sweet potato), chicken nuggets, tempura veggies). I think it works best for anything breaded. It makes all that stuff taste like it came from a restaurant but doesn’t require additional fat to cook it - much nicer than when we just cook it in the oven. Ours is easy to clean - I just wipe the basket down with paper towels and rinse it well.

When I was researching, the reviews said it was good for people who often cook frozen food in relatively small batches. And that is definitely us) for the kids.
