We just gave one away. It did cook tater tots, hash browns (patties), and a few other things quite well, but something was missing from the taste of everything. We tried a light coating of several different oils, but even those still left us with something missing in the taste. So, we did a final taste test by doing French fries both ways. Right after the test, we decided that the Air Fryer would not be staying with us.
Our daughter-in-law said she wanted to try it, so there it went. She loves it so far after doing some fries, and last night a roast. Glad somebody can use it. LOL !!!!!
There is something in the oils we cook with that adds to or enhances or changes the flavors of the item(s) we cook and we are accustomed to that taste. When that component is missing, we notice right away. So, the fried potatoes will come from a skillet in this house for now.
The Air Fryer taste was not helped with salt, pepper, cayenne, Cajun, Mexican, or European spices or flavorings. So, Don, this brings to mind that line from the movie "El Dorado". Robert Mitchum (the now sober sheriff) said to John Wayne (the gun for hire), "....you're on your own".
