…I ordered us our first air fryer. It came in yesterday and we tried it for the first time today. First thing we cooked was Cajun jalapeño poppers and some chicken wings, they were really good. Then we had some Checker Fries from Kroger and a fresh cut sweet potato rounds. It did not disappoint and was a rather easy cleanup.

I know very little about them so feel free to share your favorite air fryer food.

Am I wrong, but is "Air Fryer" marketing buzz rename for "Small Convection Oven" ?
That's my understanding. Some have additional options but the basic ones are mainly convections. Ours has 9 cooking features but in my opinion is mainly just a marketing scheme. What I do like about it is it doesn't heat up your kitchen, it's very easy to clean, and the food cooks relatively quickly and evenly without the need for oil. For just two of us it works perfectly, for a family of 4 or more it wouldn't be very feasible due to the small capacity.
 
Well evidentially there’s a learning curve to cooking in an air fryer. I tried cooking shrimp and fish tonight, the shrimp were so bad we trashed them. We ate the fish but it really wasn’t good. So we went to Publix afterwards to get some lunch items and picked up two pizzas to cook when we got back. Needless to say both of them also went into the trash. The first one was burnt and the 2nd was nicely browned but the dough was raw. Nope…we both ate cereal.

You need to talk to my daughter. She uses the heck out of one.
