Whatever. I'll "bread" pieces of fish fillets rather than buy Gorton's
fish sticks. I'm not impressed with the air fryer, which I'll likely be
giving away.

Biddies and new appliances aren't a good match.

interesting their package says minced fish but the description
says "100% WHOLE FILLET FISH with: no fillers, no preservatives,
no artificial colors or flavors, no hydrogenated oils, and no
antibiotics"... the fish sticks we get do not have minced fish
but they also do not have as much fish in them in comparison to
the picture shown...

One generally gets what one pays for and I think $10 is reflected in
your purchase. I know I would never send mine back - as a single
person it does everything the oven might (at a fraction of the power)
Tonight I had a delicious chicken leg, 'roasted' for about 15 minutes
then about 7 air fried. Nice, moist chicken with great crispy skin.

I have felt guilty the last years turning on the oven just for me, now
I have the solution with the air fryer. I had a smaller cheaper one
which I gave to a friend and purchased a larger one. The friend is
saying now she has tested it out well she is thinking she will pass it
on too if I don't mind and get a larger one. I just laughed.

So I suspect, your $10 one was not a good introduction to an air
fryer.

perhaps the habit is bulky?

ok, pun aside, it may be much smaller inside than is
practical for many uses due to insulation or construction
of the device...

I had been reluctant to get one, mainly because I was afraid that I
would not get much use out of it. I got a Phillips because they were
highly rated at the time. It now lives on our kitchen counter because
we use it a lot. I would not expect anyone to be impressed with a cheap
one.

Rarely use tomato on a burger. Unless is is fresh, ripe, and decent
texture it is a detraction. The red round things that fast food places
use are just a slight resemblance or a tomato.

Like Dave, I hesitated and did not need a never used lump sitting on the
counter. Now that I have it every week it is used a few times for all or
part of a meal. Good for reheating too.

When I use the oven, much of the year I later pay to get rid of that
heat with the air conditioner. The air fryer is much more efficient and
gives off little heat.

Ed, agree those can be pretty bad. Songbird likely is doing homegrown
tomatoes here which would be good.

Mine laid on a shelf under the kitchen island for a long time so it
might be like that for her. I'm a little surprised she didn't butter
and salt the outside of a potato and do the equal of baking it in the
air fryer yet.

I don't think a bigger unit would change it.

I use sun-dried tomato paste on burgers. There is

Ditto, I have the same one and am very pleased with it. The drawer
part can go in the dishwasher and washes very nicely, even better :)

in season they're home grown, out of season we don't
normally buy anything other than cherry tomatoes - we
put up our home grown tomatoes for use during the rest
of the time. we average about 150-200 quarts a season.
i think the most i've ever done was over 300 quarts but
that's a lot of plants taking up a lot of space.

Yes, it does. Sure, I bought a cheap small air fryer to give it a try.
It definitely doesn't save on cooking time. It might use less
electricity than using the oven. Then again, when I think about it, I
don't really do a lot of cooking in the oven except for baking the
occasional quiche or a skillet of cornbread. Most of my cooking is done
on the stovetop.

I've also got a Ninja but mine is the lift top model and I really impressed
with it.

The Ninja Foodi pressure cooker I have also doubles as an air fryer, but
I reach for the one above all the time.

It's still bigger than I have room for on the counter top. So is their
2nd pick in terms of footprint. I have to keep moving it from the
counter top to the floor of the laundry room to get it out of the way

oven. For years Steve W. kept telling me I need a toaster oven. No, I
really don't need one of those, either.
