Anyone have any thoughts on these? Anyone have any healthy recipes to share that they like using one?

    Just got one for Christmas, but haven’t tried yet. Planning on testing it out this weekend.

    We enjoy ours. We bread zucchini sticks with panko and they taste great, dip into yogurt or sour cream. I've heard you can also try doing a low calorie mozzarella stick with some kind of breading, although I've not tried that yet.

    I also got one for Christmas, we tried it out last night, just on frozen french fries. It was simple and they turned out good! I searched on Pinterest and found lots of recipes, I'm excited to try them out.

    What's the difference in calories for say, french fries? I can't imagine it's massive. You have to use SOME oil right?

    But what's the calorie difference? You don't drink all the oil you deep fried in.

    We have one and have made all kinds of things in it. We've found it best to really season your batters well as the lack of oil removes a lot of flavor. We sometimes also lightly spritz some oil on the food before it goes in so it isn't drenched but adds a nice crunch without drying the food out.

    I've been debating getting one. I don't have a convection oven (I wish!) but after reading this thread I probably won't get an air fryer

    Mine came with a little pan and I can make a frittata in 8 minutes. It's pretty handy for a quick breakfast.

    I love mine. I don't use oil at all. I make zucchini chips in it, they are so good. I have also put in chicken and pork chops. They come out so good.

    I loved mine. I killed it after placing it on the back burner while using the others. It melted. The Farberware $80 Model is a very good. I used it so much that I upgraded to a Philips digital model.

    I also just ordered an Instant Pot. Heard lots of good things about that too.
