Air Fryer
Oh my gosh, so excited.
I finally got an air fryer (well, one that works, this was round 2 for me). So now I have a good one, things are working out well! I haven't done much with it, but it's a start. Anyone else have one of these things? Do you like it? How often do you use it? Any great recipes out there? woooooooo hoooooooooo big *hugs* 
for reading my post!

*high fives* and many thanks for your reply Yippie, I love tater tots so I'm thinking this will be something else I can toss in there.
Many thanks for your potatoe repice as well. This sounds quite brilliant and delicious with the ranch seasoning mix! I wrote it down and this is something that I'm thinking is going to end up being a house favorite! 
It is sooooooooooooo on! lol
It's great that your daughter likes to put corn dogs and chicken fingers in the air fryer! It seems like from what the internet says, this thing is perfect for making frozen foods taste so much better. My first go at it, for the little test run was some frozen french fries. I thought I heard angels sing when eating them! Second try was reheating something we had gotten from take out previously and the internet said it's perfect for that kind of thing too. It was a little bit of battered and fried fish and a little piece of previously battered and fried chicken. I was floored! Air fryer had even made it taste better the second time.
I think for me on Monday it's going to be go big or go home kind of thing, haaha-building up steam, building up a wee bit of self confidence and courage. I like making fresh tilapia (fish). I batter it and typically fry it in a large skillet filled with not so healthy oil. Of course the oil spatters everywhere, a lot a bit messy, have to let the big skillet of oil cool down before getting rid of all of that icky fish oil that really ends up making your house smell less than delightful! For me, on Monday, I'm going to batter it, toss it in, feel a lot more safe than having a big pot of oil on the stove and see how it turns out? I'll hope for the best. Please keep your "fingers crossed" for me!
sorry for the edit..........the system isn't letting me "upvote" for your post. I'll try again later
ta-dah.......okay, there it goes, it happened

I think if you have an oven of course an air fryer would not be a needful thing. Indeed, there are differences between an oven and an air fryer. If you have a deep fryer, again, an air fryer would not be a needful thing if you are happy with how things go.
It appears as if the reason why many people enjoy having an air fryer is for reheating items as opposed to microwaving them. Certainly provides different results. It's nice for boxed, frozen processed foods also. The air fryer is the hero of the day for that one. Much different results that oven preparation. It seems quicker, could be considered cost effective in heating and using a smaller appliance as opposed to heating an entire oven which would require more electricity as well as the oven would heat your house much more and cost more money to run the air conditioner in hot months. Clean up seems so very easy. It seems a bit safer to me that cooking in an oven or stove top as I do feel a little bit more comfortable walking away from the small, self contained appliance for a moment or two to take care of an additional task. Mine has an auto shut off mechanism if it senses some sort of malfunction. I would never leave the house with it on or take a shower with it on, I'm simply not that trusting for any cooking appliance except for a crock pot/slow cooker.
Using a deep fat/oil fryer is great and yields great results. I don't own one but a friend of mine does. They don't use it very often as it takes a great deal of oil and clean up is not so great. It seems as if one of the reasons why people also enjoy an air fryer is because they claim it is healthier, yields similar results with out using the oil.
It seems as if there are many unique recipes on the internet to use your air fryer for. So far, I've been enjoying mine. I don't use it all of the time but I'm still just starting small and branching out a little bit with it.
Happy cooking whatever method you enjoy doing so!

This is a practical and interesting article on air fryer! I plan to fry fries 🍟 using air fryer, but then I thought it's quicker to fry using cooking oil on a pan.. but it's unhealthy 😆 I think I should start using my air fryer, tho it took a high electricity voltage
