Any body here use an air fryer?

I just got one. It's made by the "Instant" people - who make the Instant Pot. It looks like a toaster oven, and fits on the counter pretty nicely.
So far, three or four experiments.
- A piece of bread to toast. 3 minutes and came out perfect.
- Four slices of (thin) bacon (that's a Mrs. George thing. Took about 20 minutes, but no mess and came out perfect.
- I tried making potato chips. Putting the thin-sliced spuds onto all the trays, constantly checking doneness and flipping, etc was a pain in the ass. Never again.
- French fries. I took an Idaho spud, cut it into fry-size pieces. Drizzle with olive oil and put into a rotisserie basket. 20 minutes and they were PERFECT.
As I get more adventurous, I'll try some meat dishes.

We just got one too. We keep it in the pantry and bring it out whenever we need it. It's a toaster oven, convection oven, and air fryer in one. Essentially all doing the same thing. In fact, I googled the difference between a convection oven and air fryer... doesn't seem to be much of a difference.
That being said, I did reheat pizza in it (took 3 min) and it was WAY better than the microwave, obviously. And faster than a normal oven.
Haven't tried "frying" things yet. I'd imagine I would need to get the amount of oil added just right so it doesn't burn.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

375 and 15 minutes should work well with most.

Some of the Ore-Ida stuff is really good, even with a conventional oven.
Like these.
