    I got an air fryer this year, and I definitively recommend it. It was cheap, I paid 350 reals (roughly 70 euros). In some cases the food is really similar to deep-fried food, but the biggest appeal of the device is as a small but powerful oven - specially for stuff like

    • chicken wings - they turn out wet but well cooked, with a crispy outside
    • reheating stale bread - pat it with a bit of water, then plop it in the air fryer.
    • frozen potato fries - as he mentions in the video they get damn great
    • milanesa - it doesn’t get identical to deep-fried milanesa but it’s really good, and way better than doing it in the oven.

    If looking for a model make sure to get one with a detachable false bottom, otherwise you’ll get the problem andrewta mentioned and won’t be able to clean it right.

      My dude… Get ready for some more great suggestions…

      Reheating Pizza

      Cooking salmon or any kind of fish really. Suggest panko breading

      Same goes for pork chops. Go with the thick ones - they get wonderfully crispy but very juicy inside

      BACON!!!

      Roasted potatoes - make sure to cut them into larger chunks than you usually do
