The Best Chicken Nuggets We Ever Had, Mom!

I judge household products by how often we use them and how easy they are to operate and clean up. We received Magic Chef® XL Air Fryer in exchange for an honest review. These are my opinions on the Air Fryer.
My wife was the one who actually set up the Air Fryer and read the directions and used it for the first time. I was able to reap the benefits from what she learned. The first thing she made was chicken nuggets and fries for the kids. They raved about how great the nuggets tasted. These are the same ones that they have had forever from the oven. They were better, though, because inside the oven the nuggets get hard and crunchy. With the Air fryer you get more of a crispy crunch.
My wife then looked for other things to make in the air fryer. She made fried chicken by taking fresh drumsticks, rolling them lightly in flour and old Bay seasoning, as well as lemon. Then she put them in the Air Fryer with only the natural oils from the chicken itself. I had come into the kitchen right after she took the batch out of the Air Fryer. They were crispy and delicious, also not that greasy.
Cleanup is easy, too. You can wipe out the basket with a paper towel in between uses and then wash the basket and bottom piece when you are completely done cooking. The large basket meant that five chicken drumsticks could be fried at once, enough to feed the family. Then she was also able to make some crispy Brussels Sprouts. The kids asked my wife to make this meal every night.
The Magic Chef® XL Air Fryer is a simple to operate device that you can use to make many different meals quickly and easily for the family with minimal cleanup.

I have had this for a week and I am satisfied. Large capacity, quiet and great temperature and timer settings. The recipe book included is also spectacular.

Takes some getting used to at first

I was gifted this air fryer a few weeks ago and am still learning how to use it. Positives: The big basket! You can cook enough food in one or two batches, which is something a lot of people complain about with other air fryers. Also it cooks very well. We made breaded chicken which turned out perfectly crispy on the outside but tender and moist on the inside. And the best part is unlike an oven, the airfryer won't get your kitchen super hot during the summer.
Negatives: It takes a lot of getting used to at first. I burned the first couple batches of fries. Also there are two tick marks between 0 and 10 seconds. So do they represent 3:20 and 6:40?? I'm not sure so it's a lot of guessing. My only complaint is I wish the unit came with better instructions. I had to look up YouTube videos on how to open the basket.

Overall I'm pretty happy with my new appliance. I'm very excited to experiment more.

Game Changer in the Kitchen

I've been slowly but surely getting used to my new air fryer. At first, I burned a couple of things due to not being too savvy with timing but it's a learning process. The dial is easy to control but be careful of the markers. I have over-estimated timing and scorched some fries. I've cooked at least one part of every meal for the past week with the air fryer. It's a total game changer at meal time for us. I love its versatility and the endless options for cooking.I even purchased some accessories immediately so I can bake with it! There's no comparison to how crispy this thing makes your food! The biggest bonus for us is the healthier oil-free method of cooking, we can enjoy our guilty-pleasure fried treats on occasion, without most of the guilt. The big basket allows me to make large portions and multiple things at once. When dinner is done, the clean-up is so easy which is another major benefit in a house with a toddler and tired mom! The only downside for me is storage space as its a big appliance.

I don't even know where to begin to describe how amazing this air fryer is. Super easy to use and it cooks my food in less time than it would in the oven. I love that I can cook dinner quickly and make crispy chicken and fries that are healthier than frying in oil. This device is also very easy to clean.

This is a great air fryer! I love how easy it is to eat healthy with this. Recently, I found that my cholesterol is crazy high, so no more fried foods. With this air fryer, I get the fried food taste, without the grease. I love the simplicity of the design, and how easy it is to set the time and temp! **I received this product for testing purposes.

This makes excellent fries!

I have used this to make home made french fries with less oil. The fries cook great and are crispy without having to be deep fried, or baking for a long time in the oven. The air fryer is super convenient and easy to use. It takes about 20 minutes to make a batch of fries. I've used all different kinds of potatoes. The recipe book that it comes with has inspired me to try air frying different foods and get creative :D
