Title: Time get a air fryer
Post by: zueth on March 09, 2021, 10:03:09 PM: Anybody have any recommends on a good air fryer to get? I will mostly use it for fish and chips and probably kids food like chicken nuggets and tater tots, etc.

Post by: Pam Gould on March 10, 2021, 09:46:03 AM: they are basically the same unless you go for the bigger ones with oven and dehydrators, etc..I found that if you have left over french fires and fried foods, they are the best for reheating..just like it was fresh made, my 8 year old just loves them that way. I make biscuits and cinnamon rolls, the trick is to lower temp to about 330º and cook a lil longer to get centers done, about 6 -7 minutes and they are perfect. Lots of trick to using it but info is everywhere. I have a Cook's Essential from qvc. Good luck. .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

Does anybody have any experience with cuisinart air fryer

I have had the Cusinart for a few years now. We like the versatility of a toaster oven. Don't use it for toast but it's great for reheating. Air fryer function works well. It's not real accurate as far as the temp and timer, uses analog controls. I'd recommend the newer digital version of it. Check out this section for air fryer posts, look for bamabob

I ended up getting a Instant Vortex 6 Quart Air Fryer, been happy with it so far.

I was reading the owners' manual. It says–
"• Clean the air fryer basket with a sponge or cloth and warm water and dish soap, then rinse well. Ensure that all grease and food debris are removed.
"• DO NOT immerse the basket in water or any other liquid.
"• DO NOT machine wash the basket."

I wonder why.

The DO NOTs are the way I'd prefer to clean the basket.

Post by: zueth on April 26, 2021, 08:21:28 PM: Yeah not sure why it says that, I scrub with soap and rinse with water. It cleans up pretty easy and fast.

Post by: Tailgating is my game on April 27, 2021, 12:34:27 PM: Both of my Chefman's clean up easy with hot water & soap. once every two weeks I clean the inside of the main unit with a damp cloth. that is it

Post by: Big Dawg on May 03, 2021, 05:54:55 PM: Like Bamabob, I went with the Cuisinart. Mainly because of the smaller footprint due the three-in-one functionality.

Looking forward to seeing what you're cooking.
