fandandy 3,311 Posted December 31, 2017 I'm curious as well. My uncle has one and liked it enough to buy one for his kids. I've seen them at Sams Club but the last thing I need is another thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Djgb13 2,338 Posted December 31, 2017 Much less messy than a regular fryer. Same with infrared fryer. Gives you close to the same taste as a regular fryer but it still misses the true authenticity of a regular fryer with grease. Much healthier though so theres that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shotsup 830 Posted December 31, 2017 It's like convection cooking meets frying. Minus all the oil. Half dozen frozen/halfway thawed shrimp peeled - sprayed with olive oil and added Cajun spice (called Slap Yo Mamma) Cook at 330 degrees 4 mins - flip spray season - cook another 4 mins. Tablespoon of butter. Mix. Add to toasted bun. Fantastic. Cooked frozen perogies same way. Minus the seasoning. Frozen Brussel sprouts. 4 minutes. Awesome. Same Cajun seasoning on a can of chick peas. Great snack. More tomorrow!!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know when cooking with them it doesnt have as much juice in it as it normally would from cooking with oil (at least thats how it is in the infrared fryer).

I know when cooking with them it doesnt have as much juice in it as it normally would from cooking with oil (at least thats how it is in the infrared fryer). The perogies were a little over done and dry. But the shrimp was absolutely perfect. Dipped the toasted bun in the remaining seasoned juice before building the sandwich. Perfectly delicious.

Dipped the toasted bun in the remaining seasoned juice before building the sandwich. Perfectly delicious. Sh1t now I want shrimp. Ladys husband just came back today from shrimping and my parents just bought 40 pounds of it already deheaded and cleaned. Would love to try them in the air fryer since we almost always sauté them in butter and my sister/BILs dry seasoning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted December 31, 2017 I have had one for a little over a year. For my kids, it works great. They pop in some chicken tenders and they get crispy chicken. Fries come out good. Fish filets are good too. Not as good as fried, but that is because you skip all the oil. Definitely worth the investment, but I still like an oil fryer every once in a while and my convection baking is still a big part of what I do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Biggest challenge we have is having the kids clean it after they use it, but they don't clean anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
