It really needed a pan that fits perfectly under the mesh one. When you cook raw meat juice of course drips everywhere. So you are forced to put very little in so you can use the very small cookie sheet that comes with it. Ive also tried to order a second mesh tray which I havent been able to do. The reason I ordered this one was because it was bigger than my last air fryer. But I think one of those fit about the same amount after the issues stated above.
