This does exactly what it is supposed to do! I have made a few things in this air fryer: frozen meals, veggies, and chicken, and they have all turned out great! I use the instruction guide as a baseline in regard to the amount of time each should be in the machine at, and then just check throughout to see if any time should be added or taken away. It’s incredibly easy to pop out quickly to check on and immediately continue back inside if needed. The air fryer can only hold a small amount inside sufficient to feed 1-2 people, which is perfect for my everyday situation. It’s also very easy to clean without many parts to wash.
