"One of the things that I probably cook the most are chicken thighs (bone in skin on). ... When I cook pork, I do pork loin and sometimes brine it first. ... I love doing steak bites in mine. ... One of the things I find the basket style perfect for is “baking sheet meals“. ... But I also do veggies, potatoes, desserts."
"In fact it’s on right now crisping my chicken nuggets and my mother’s spring rolls for our morning schnack. ... Anything you want to crisp? Air fryer."

"Instant pot I find much much easier to clean"
"It’s not much effort at all to clean. ... Usually a single half sheet paper towel is enough after 10-15 minutes of cooling off. ... Usually all there is a little oil and some crumbs. ... If you’re going to be fully cooking meat there might be a little more cleaning, but shouldn’t need much effort. ... Spraying it down in the sink and wiping with a soapy sponge or rag will work fine."
"The alternative is an airfryer with a door, like a microwave, which makes it harder to clean as well as access the food for turning and such."

"it’s got a rotisserie! I don’t have the shake anything"
"I have an Instant Vortex that has two large baskets so I can cook meat in one side and veggies/fries/etc. in the other basket and I absolutely love it, couldn't imagine trying to get by with one small basket after I've been using this one for so long."

"Out Instant Vortex 6 qt air fryer is still the best for air fryer type foods."
"however in practice the food is nowhere near as good as from the Instant vortex Thisgs take forever to cook, and have inconsistent browning. ... It took almost twice as long to cook chicken from raw in the Gourmia, as I am used to in my Instant vortex."
"I tried 3-4 different ones from Costco. They were decent "ovens" but did a poor job airfrying. The insta one does great. ... Works great. ... It works great."

"Same! I’ve forbid my husband from using it. ... It seems like it’s killing us?! ... I want to send it back!! ... Regret it!"
"How long does it take for the plastic smell to go away? I just got one and can't handle the smell 😩 ... Right? It's so bad and the plastic smell gets into the food. ... I did that and it still stinks 😂 I just use it for reheating food now since I don't have a microwave lol the taste is less noticeable though"

"but it doesnt convert the 2 baskets into one."
"If you're cooking for more than two people, I would get an eight quart."
"if I'm cooking up a large batch of chicken thighs (like the ones you get at Costco) I'll have to cook a couple with everything else. And then put the rest in while we're eating."
