Late to the party. But, we finally got an air fryer. A buddy gave it to us after doing some handy work for him. He threw in a stack of the parchment liners, and I must say, it's a pretty cool deal. Easy clean up.
We have made bacon, burgers, reheated ribs and brisket so far.
Looking forward to another option for goodness.

Made some frozen raw shrimp in the air fryer. Only took about 8-9min, and had a great texture. Coated with salt and blackened seasoning, then swirled around in butter when done. Man oh man, fabulous!
Ready to try some fish fillets soon.

Curious what you think about the fish when you try it. I tried it once and made up my mind that most fish is meant to be fried. Now fresh rainbow trout is getting wrapped in foil with butter and lemon and going over a campfire, but I doubt I try the air fryer again with the fish we normally catch here.

In my opinion, that air fryer is better than a microwave for heating things up, especially fish, but can’t do better than fresh fish from hot oil. It’s pretty good with frozen French fries too.

Very little to no carbs for ME. Wife and kid can eat anything, so fries, breaded or battered stuff works for them. |

Ready to try some fish fillets soon. I do that too only I use Old Bay Seasoning. Coat the raw shrimp (I thaw mine) good with Old Bay, cook on 390 for 8 minutes maximum, shaking half way through. I melt a stick of real butter in a large bowl in the micro way. I dump the cooked shrimp in the bowl, squeeze half a lemon over the shrimp and stir enough to coat all the shrimp good with the butter/lemon juice. GOOOOODDDD STUFF! |

Made wings in the air fryer tonight. Super tasty. The speed and convenience is remarkable. We were way overdue for one of these.
I got a brisket going on Big Z tonight. Looking forward to weekday leftovers reheated in the air fryer now! 😋

Looking forward to weekday leftovers reheated in the air fryer now! 😋 They are handy. We use ours all the time. They are great for reheating food too. When I split from my ex a few years ago the air fryer is the one thing in the house I told her she wasn't taking. |

I'll definitely pass on any results, good or bad. Made some fresh walleye on the air fryer. Just used blackened seasoning and pinch of garlic salt. I use the parchment paper liner, so put 2 pats of butter in one batch, and dry in the other. We liked the butter more, but dry was good. Forms a slightly stiff outer shell on the fillets, "very slight". All in all, we really liked it, and will do more like this in the future. |

Tried bluegill fillets in ours a few years ago. Coated them with cornmeal. When the fish was done, it still tasted like uncooked cornmeal. I relegated ours to reheating fried stuff. Heard lots of folks talking about cooking steaks in an air fryer, but I'll stick with my grill. |

Love our Ninja double basket air fryer.
The stove is relegated to warming up a can of veggies.
The only time we use the oven is to bake a pizza A medium Pizza is too big for the air fryer. The air fryer is great for reheating pizza slices.
Any coating on meat or fish needs a good spritzing of olive oil to help brown it.
I’ve cooked a lot of filets in mine. I like it better than coming off a gas grill

Like with anything, there is always the best way, and then there is the "let's cook it and eat I'm hungry way". Lol. So, good to have alternatives in everything, including cooking methods.

Maybe searing in a skillet would help? Idk. I did a burger from raw. I thought it was pretty good. Even if just used as a reheating method, I think it's pretty handy and quick and has added a new kick for my fairly dull life. 😝 |

Definitely like the air fryer for wings. Quick and crispy.

Ok, tried the chuck roast in the smoker and I must say the results were good. But I will only try again when I can find it in a 5-6# roast instead of 2.25#. Started getting a little dry on me even in the aluminum pan, but the pan definitely saved it! Lunch the past 2 days. 😁 Tender and smoky. Poured the juice over it today.   |
