AIR FRYER: Does Anyone Have One?

It looks incredible and easy to use.

I'd love to hear from anyone who uses one.

Hi @Noel7 how's it going? Have I mentioned HOW MUCH I LOVE MINE?

To me, this thing are the absolute bomb! I just reheated some leftover fried chicken and fries and they came out like they were fresh but I have also made steaks, pork chops, all sorts of potatoes even eggs (in silicone cups) along with toast.

Please know, think cooking for a small amount of people as this is not designed to accomodate a large group of people (in a hurry) but I love mine!

Is there anything specific you would like to know Noel as I would be more than happy to answer whatever questions you may have?

Hi @momtochloe ! Everything is going fine here, how about with you?

I didn't know anything about an air fryer but I watched the video and am amazed by what I saw. Always trying to be healthy, I haven't fried in years, although I admit to eating french fries out, lol.

Love crunchy, including grilled cheese sandwiches, would love to get that without a lot or any of oil or butter.

I hate to fry meat in a pan, it would be nice to do that and chicken in the air fryer.

I ordered the red.

@Noel7 this thing truly is the bomb . . . I love it and use it almost every day (and those Fat Daddio containers fit so well in there!).

Whatever you put in there be prepared to be amazed at the amount of grease that comes flying out of it. Really makes you think about what you eat on a daily basis. Eeek.

I have made just about every protein in mine (fyi, from Evine) and it cooks it perfectly. Nice and crispy/brown on the outside while being very moist on the inside.

You can use it for almost everything including toast (but I have to say for my tastes it's a bit too dry) but cooking and clean up are a breeze.

I hope you like yours as much as I love mine and I hope you are feeling great these days my friend!

Thanks @momtochloe

This is going to be fun. I texted DD and she is excited about it, she had seen one at Williams Sonoma awhile back and was fascinated by it.

I have the Cook's Essentials air fryer on waitlist. I hope it comes back in stock soon. It's jsut 2 of us at home and I think we will use this for many things.

Cooks Essentials 3 quart 1500 watt Air Fryer will be TSV March 13th and the same price as the one online now. The TSV has 4 presets and grill racks and non-stick removable fry basket. TSV price will be $99.95 I am going to watch and see if I would be interested in it. It comes in 7 colors. I didn't put item number so this doesn't get deleted. It says most powerful Cook's Essentials yet. Hope this helps.

@ MKR NY Just ordered the TSV. Thanks for posting the heads up.

Does it use any oil at all? Is it faster to cook than your oven? I'm trying to talk myself out of it-need a bigger kitchen for all my gadgets.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. Only had for about 3 weeks. Cook steak, hamburger, grilled peppers. No oil, just spray oil.

I did not know the Q made one @Leelynn

Have you seen the video on the other one? I wonder how they compare.

Re: AIR FRYER: Does Anyone Have One?

Noel7 — Fri, 19 Feb 2016 23:16:21 GMT

Just saw your post @MKR14, thanks for that information!

I tried the TSV numbers in the Insider book but they didn't come up so you could order. Sometimes you have to call CS to pre-order as it won't do it online. It is a 1500 watt and not the 1400 watt as the one with reviews on QVC right now. Just wanted to be sure you got the one you wanted ordered with the 4 presets.

@Tribesters

From what I saw, it cooks pretty fast. It also bakes, they said.

Most of what I saw cooked didn't need or use any oil to get crisp. It was said that the most oil ever needed would be a tablespoon. And that seemed to be for quite a bit of food.

No oil for french fries.

@Noel7 thanks for your post because I was wondering the same thing, years ago we bought one of those flash fryers you use with oil and if we've used it twice that was a lot. Thanks everyone for your comments,

I just went over the choices with my daughter. The Q TSV one looks good on the older model vid. The Phillips looks good and was the first to make them and has been and still is carried by Williams Sonoma. DD worked with Williams Sonoma when she was in college and learned a lot there.

I think I will stick with the one I ordered, she knows more about brands than I do, but the Q also looks good. Either way, imo.

I am just SO HAPPY about this invention, I am thrilled. It seems so easy and you don't have to use much if any oil.

I *love* the idea of cooking steaks in it, and chicken or chops!!!!

Blue sky for me March 2016 is how I ordered.

I watched the video on the 1400. They look like the same just a higher watt.

I love the concept of being able to enjoy fried food without frying. My questions are: Is the texture and flavor different from 'real' fried food? If I want to make french fries from scratch, am I able to do that with the same taste as if I fried them in a fryer or frying pan with oil? If anyone can offer an answer, I will be most appreciative as it will help me make the decision to purchase one or not. Thanks in advance. docsgirl`
