Great Compact Appliance for Delicious Air Fried Fo

I just received the Magic Chef Manual Air Fryer. Getting an air fryer has been on my list of future purchases - I love fried food but can't deal with the mess (and calories) of using a deep fat fryer at home. The Magic Chef is genius - I quickly made up a batch of zucchini fries following the instructions from the cook book that came with the air fryer. They were so delicious that later the same day I tested out the egg rolls - I did modify the recipe slightly by adding a bit of cooked ground turkey and substituting a sweet orange chili sauce. They were absolutely delicious, I flipped the egg rolls half way through the cooking time to make sure they came out nice and crisp. The recipe called for wonton wrappers but this was an egg roll recipe so I purchased egg roll wrappers at the store and they came out perfect! I love the compact size of this air fryer, it doesn't take up too much room - it would make a great small appliance for any home owner - even if you live in a small apartment or condo. I can even see taking this on longer camping trips - would be a nice addition to the RV. Food cooks up super fast in the air fryer and clean up is a breeze - if you are thinking about getting an air fryer - I highly recommend the Magic Chef Manual Air Fryer.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.

Amazing!!

This is such an amazing Air fryer. It's very large so I can cook enough for my family of five. I can cook 7 burgers at one time! They always come out juicy and so tasty. Honestly it's quicker making fresh food using this, over reheating left overs for everyone. I'm so impressed with this machine. It's making my life easier and as a mom of 3 growing boys dinner time goes a lot smoother. It's easy to clean and you can drain the fat that your meat leaves behind so you are eating healthier. Everyone needs this in their kitchen.

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.

NewAir has been an all around pleasurable experience and I can't recommend them enough. Having never owned an air fryer prior to them, it has hands down been the single best investment I've ever made. The new addition has been in my kitchen for over a year now and I simply cannot imagine cooking without it. Whether it's baking a small cobbler or preheating and then cooking a steak to perfection, you can't go wrong. NewAir has made one of my favorite times of the day a breeze!

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.

We have been trying to eat a lot healthier lately and I was very excited to try out this air fryer. Most Airfryer are made to fry frozen food and I love frozen fries but using oil to cook them in it's not healthy for you at all. I realized the Airfryer could replicate a deep-fried taste so when I tried making fries they came out amazing wonderful and crispy just like if I work if I then in a lot of oil. The flavor was perfect anyways no oil or grease. I recommend if you're trying to live a healthier lifestyle for you and your family in airfryer is definitely something you need.
