I found a Breville BOV900BSS on Amazon that was sold as a scratch-n-dent unit. I got it for 50% off. I couldn't be happier!
Really, just about anything you would deep fry, you can air fry. I was skeptical at first, thinking it was a bunch of marketing hype, but after trying a few things, the results are pretty good. Foods brown and crisp up just like they would in a fryer. [Reply]
Baked potatoes are freaking excellent. Brush them with a little olive oil and salt and it's kind of like turning an entire potato into one big steak fry. [Reply]

Yep.
Chicken strips, breaded fish, you name it, if it can be fried, it can be air-fried.
And even stuff you wouldn't expect works out well, like raw veggies or unbranded shrimp. [Reply]
Yes. It's a very fast and easy way to heat/reheat things without making them soggy. Think of it as a tiny convection oven that requires no preheat time. We use ours 4 to 5 times a week.
Get an air fryer and an instantpot and your life will be so much easier. [Reply]
We have a Ninja Foodi...it's like an Insta Pot but also has an air fryer feature...it is awesome!!! Use the air fryer function a lot. Made perfect chicken wings this past weekend. [Reply]
Has any one tried to make onion rings in it? I worry that the outside would be done way before the inside. Sams/Costco have some premade ones in the frozen section that look great.
Btw, the sams knock off chick-fil-a chicken nuggets are fantastic in it. [Reply]

You should be able to adjust the heat down and the time up to avoid burning the outside....maybe 300 degrees for 8 minutes to do the inside, then a quick blast of 390 for a minute to crisp the outside? Get a single ring in there and test it out. [Reply]
I fry chicken in it.. have to spray a little olive oil or cooking oil on them to get the golden brown crust.. still much healthier than deep frying.. [Reply]
I also have a Ninja Foodi. It is awesome. You can pressure cook and air fry a rack of ribs from package to plate in less than 2 hours. Frozen chicken wings from package to plate in less than an hour. I love this thing. [Reply]
