Air Fryers are awesome, but I don't use them for cooking. I have this super cheap model: [https://www.amazon.com/GoWISE-USA-GW22966-Dehydrator-Touchscreen/dp/B08YM8RKY4/ref=dp\_prsubs\_d\_sccl\_1/131-3449959-4019908](https://www.amazon.com/GoWISE-USA-GW22966-Dehydrator-Touchscreen/dp/B08YM8RKY4/ref=dp_prsubs_d_sccl_1/131-3449959-4019908) that I absolutely adore for giving me frozen burritos to plate in 11 min, no defrosting needed. Ditto for taquitos, but only 6 min from frozen to my belly. This unit reheats french fries that you took home to be like they were fresh out of the fryer oil. I can take a frozen Marie Calendar pot pie and be eating it in 27 min. The only downside to this unit is it has a very powerful fan, so if you want a slice of cheese on your burrito, you need to hold it in place with a few toothpicks, otherwise, the cheese will likely end up on the grate, melted. Having an air fryer gives me easy meals when I really don't want to cook. I use the oven so infrequently when cooking, as I do most of my cooking on the stovetop / wok, but when I don't want to cook? Air fryer all the way baby!
I use a big GoWise all the time, for years, and it’s not peeling anywhere. I mostly use put food on the uncoated steel racks that came with it, so the food isn’t touching non stick surfaces
I pan sear Prime steaks in hot peanut oil for about three minutes and finish them on a dehydrator rack in about 3 to 5 minutes. They come out perfect! I bought two big Prime ribeyes for $80 recently. The food i put in the fryer costs more than the fryer itself. I served giant baked potatoes from our fancy Jennair oven last week and my wife asked ‘what’s wrong with these potatoes?’ because they weren’t from the fryer. I would buy my third GoWise if my current one gave out. Instead of scrubbing it you can fill it with hot water add a bit of dishwasher detergent powder to the bin, put it on fry and it will clean itself without scrubbing off the finish
