I find that when I do tenders or fried chicken breast the breading is rock solid.

Only on day three with mine, so still in learning curve, but absolutely love the speed of it. What would take 30 min or more in oven, now 10 minutes or less. Only have done burgers, fries, pizza rolls, cinnamon rolls, and biscuits so far.

I use mine several times a week, so far I've yet to try anything that didn't come out great.

Bacon is probably what I use it for most. Lay strips across the bottom of the basket, max temp for 5 minutes, flip, 5-6 more minutes at max temp.

Chicken nuggets also come out great, same as wings. French fries, too.

Brussel sprouts tossed in balsamic vinegar and olive oil (really get them coated in it) with some garlic powder, salt, and pepper on top after the finish. About 15 minutes, take them out and shake the basket halfway.

Also tried some fresh corn, came out nice and crunchy. Brushed some lime and garlic butter on and cracked some sea salt/pepper on top.

They are the best at reheating food. I just ate some re heated hotwings that I swear were better now than at the restaurant.

Think of it like a small convection oven. In theory you can bake things in it, but obviously that isn’t why you buy it.

It is a total game changer for rehearing leftovers, in my opinion. I don’t use it so much for cooking things the first time. Like if you do the bacon wrapped wild game poppers with cream cheese/jalapeño, if you only have a few to reheat they are crispy as if you just made them fresh. Pizza the next day tastes like you just took it out of the oven. Anything meant to be crispy that is already cooked is great to reheat. Also anything frozen (like fries for kids or whatever).

Sausage, Chicken thighs, bacon wrapped chicken livers, bacon, crab cakes, etc.. Thing works great, is fast, and easy to clean.

I made an internal rack to hang stuff on so things don't need to be turned.

I’ve had one for over a year and it has become one of those kitchen appliances that just take up space and collect dust. I tried a few things in it when we first got it and wasn’t impressed. About the only thing it will sometimes get used for is a grilled cheese for my daughter. Even then it’s iffy. It may be healthier but she likes hers cooked in a pan with butter. I actually don’t blame her either. It just tastes better!

I have a very simple one. I use it for anything I used to use the oven for.
