Anyone use an air fryer? How do you like it? Do you like the size that you have? Do you recommend a certain brand/size? Costs? Thank you!

I bought one last year during an Amazon sale. I've only used it a handful of times. I typically end up burning things in it and haven't been terribly impressed with it so far.
However, I'm a lousy cook anyways and still sometimes burn stuff on the stove. I know people that have them and swear by them.

We have the Phillips one. It's fine. We like how it cooks things but it's really too small to cook too much at once. It does make a crispy cream cheese wonton though.

Thank you! I just joined an Air Fryer group on FB to check out recipes and ways to cook. Seems like a really good time saver and a great way to cook up some quick protein to add with a salad. Just trying to get some ideas to see if it is worth it or not. Crispy cream wontons sound yummy!

thanks, Tenn. I have this one - Big Boss air fryerI love how chicken cooks in this thing, but it's tough for stuff like onion rings. my only major complaint is that it doesn't have a basket like some others, so I can't easily do things like tater tots.
