Anyone have an Air Fryer

I use it all the time. Great for chicken and fish. I do cottage fries and burgers at the same time, too (fries on top rack, burgers on bottom rack).

Do the fries cook crispy with all that hamburger moisture in there?

They do. Since they're on the top rack they're close to the halogen heating element and not really affected by what's below.


Note: Aldi only offers the turbo convection oven a couple times per year (spring/fall maybe) but it's a heck of a deal.

I thought perhaps with the air circulating that might be an issue; good to know.

Just to be clear, these are cottage fries. They're not to be confused with anything deep fried. They are crunchy on the outside with creamy centers.

I met up in Liberty with my Craig's List contact and picked up a Nuwave Pro for $30. It looks brand new. It was clean and came with all the original stuff. I made some steak fries in it last night. Turned out great and only took about 20 minutes. I think this is going to work out!
