I have this 5-in-1 unit and an older single function air fryer. This unit comes with a wire rack, deep fryer mesh rack (they call it a basket) and a broiling pan. They all slide (insert) into various levels (adjustable height). Their "basket" doesn't have much depth. It's good and bad, because hot air circulates through the food easier and there is less reason to "shake" halfway through to cook more evenly. That said, I still would shake french fries, etc. to get uniform cooking. I would use only the air fryer mesh basket to hold the food you want to air fry. You can place a layer of foil on the metal "crumb sheet" to make cleanup easier. Shake half way through over the sink (use pot holder and cover basket with a tupperware lid to allow for a good shake and crumbs fall in your sink. Don't be afraid to remove the food for 10-15 seconds to do this!
