Aria Ceramic Air Fryer, 7Qt, Black

I was reluctant to get into the airfryer trend both because I did not want an appliance taking up counter space and because I figured that my high end convection oven could do anything an airfryer could do but probably better. However when summer hit, I realized I did not want to keep heating up my oven every time my kids wanted chicken nuggets. So I decided to clean out my cabinets and make space for an airfryer. I did a lot of searching, and there are many great options. I decided first that I wanted a basket style because it seemed easy to clean and easy to shake the food around in. I wanted a larger one and I wanted a ceramic one. This fit all my criteria. I’ve now had it for several months and use it regularly. It’s not heavy at all so I take it in and out rather than keeping it in my counter. It cooks everything very evenly and quite quickly. It allows me to bake without heating up the house and over working our AC. For basically any pre made frozen item, it could not be easier or more perfect. But it also does a great job with fresh veggies and meat. I don’t love white chicken meat but in here it turns out really well - nicely browned on the outside but still juicy. I like to throw in some chicken while my pasta cooks, then I just add the cooked chicken. Easier than lighting up the grill. If you’re in the fence, go for it!
