As mentioned, this is basically a convection oven. You can get a full sized convention oven, one of these, or even a toaster oven style convention. They're all the same - they move hot air rapidly to decrease cook times. This one is just smaller, so it heats up and cooks faster. If you had to heat up your full size oven and cook, this thing would prob already be half done cooking.

There's no frying or oil involved - the 'fryer' part is 100% misleading advertising - prob aimed to be a healthy alternative to a deep fryer. These do great for wings though. We get the Costco ones and load this thing up with them.CoolDudeClan wrote: ↑ A regular convection oven will get "restaurant quality wings" that taste fried as said earlier? I thought this was different somehow. As in misted them with oil or something. I don't know anything about these obviously.

This is what ConsumerReports concluded when they tested a dozen of air fryers including the big-brother of this one:CoolDudeClan wrote: ↑ A regular convection oven will get "restaurant quality wings" that taste fried as said earlier?

So you will get "restaurant quality wings" that taste bakedStaffers were not told which cooking method was used for each food, yet everybody could tell which foods were deep-fried. While none of the air fryers duplicated deep-fried results, they all turned out nicely cooked food.

Thats better for cleanup but you'll lose part of the convection function. The hot air is supposed to circulate through the basket and back up. Its not just for fat to drip through.dsweetlou wrote: ↑ Regarding cleanup, it was suggested in the best buy Insignia air fryer thread to use parchment paper. Great tip!
