What is an Air Fryer?

What Air Fryer is Best?

So before I share with you these tasty air fryer recipes, I have to tell you a funny story. We have gone thru 3 different air fryers. Each time Tom thought I was a bit crazy when the new one arrived. He didn’t see anything wrong with the current one, so he didn’t understand why I was getting another one.

It happened to be that I kept reading up on air fryers and finding one that was better then the previous one until I settled on the one I have now.

But I have to say, that while I kept changing air fryers, the ones I had previously were AMAZING too! Previously I had the Bella Air Fryer. After the Bella, I had the Phillips Air Fryer. Before telling you which one I have now, I will say the only thing that I miss about both of those is that they were circular. There were more accessories that I could use with them.

I currently have the Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven. This thing is the BEST appliance in my kitchen next to my Keurig and my KitchenAid Mixer.

Not only does it air fry amazingly but it has 6 other features! It can Air Fry, Convection Bake, Convection Broil, Bake, Broil, Warm, and Toast! I ditched our toaster, and our air fryer when I got this one. And I haven’t looked back since!

Plus I use the broil setting and the oven setting for quick things, and it is SOOO much faster then waiting for the normal oven to heat up!
