Title says it all.
I'm thinking of buying one. I wonder if it is as useful as it sounds.
I don't have much room in my kitchen to keep a million gadgets. I'd have to budget the space. But if it's worth it, I'll find a space for it.
Is love to hear from someone who has it, how it tastes and what you use it for.

We just got one and we keep ours pareve.

french fries
hashbrowns
grilled vegetables (so yummy) (mushrooms, peppers, eggplant, peppers, zucchini)
we did falafel balls a few days ago - that came out well.

We want to try dehydrating fruit soon - our machine does that too. Has anyone tried that?
I'd also love to know what other people do with their machines.

I bought the ninja oven style and it’s my milchig oven. My favorite thing is to air roast salmon but I also make fries, falafel, lasagna, quiche, toast, reheat leftovers, malawach, pretty much anything you can think of.

Thank you so much!

We live grilled veggies. In the summer I put it on the gas grill. But winter I just roast it in the oven on 400 for a while. How is it different than a regular oven?

The way that the heat circulates combined with the small space takes a lot of water out of the vegetables and I think it improves the texture of many of them.

So what's the difference between that and a convection oven?
Thanks for answering my amateur questions Very Happy

In an air fryer the fan is on top and it circulates the heat downward onto the food.

In a convection oven, the fan is on the back wall and it pushes the heat forward.

I think the top down is what makes the food come out so good.

I'd like to start not to expensive to try it out first.
Would anyone know if this is decent enough?

One last question. Is it big enough for a family of 6?

Mine is, that’s why I got that style. It fits a 9 x 13. I don’t know how the other style works with the pull-out section.
