My husband and I use ours literally everyday, no joke. Last night we used it to make garlic bread as it toasts both sides of bread, no flipping required. We have a six quart we were given as a gift little over a year ago and recently snagged a Vortex 10 quart on sale at Penneys. We cook all kinds of stuff in both air fryers--meats of course, shrimp, asparagus, zucchini spears,flour tortilla chips from store bought tortillas, even brownies! One of our favorites is chicken prepared with a really nice jerk chicken seasoning.

It's also fantastic for reheating and crisping up fries from our favorite burger joint, no more soggy fries!

Just Google air fryer time and temp for whatever you want to cook, there are tons of recipes are out there. I keep a couple of index cards on the fridge for a quick reference as time and temp for the stuff we cook most often.
