I wanted to see hat all the “air fryer “ praises were about but didn’t want to spend a lot of money buying yet another appliance I wouldn’t use and honestly have no space for. I live alone these days and space is limited in my humble home. I made some egg rolls as my first experiment and tgey turned out wonderful... I even purchased the little pan set and am anxious to see how they work. My oven died recently the cooktop still works and I’ve been experimenting with alternate cooking methods instead of purchasing a new oven and this is great for cooking for one.
