[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Chicken tasted great and clean up was easy. The same with bacon and hamburgers. My only complaint has nothing to do with the air fryer. I just wish it had come with a booklet with cooking ideas and recipes. The small cooking chart wasn’t very helpful. Otherwise I am very pleased.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoyed my new Hamilton Beach 5 liter digital Air Fryer. It's got plenty of room for whatever you're cooking. I cooked egg rolls, it was fast & easy - you put the items in the air fryer, set the controls { very easy } & it does all of the cooking. No standing over hot grease, making a mess. Put them in , walk away & come back when it's done. The egg rolls came out great. So Happy !!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use and cleaning was a snap. We air fried a small whole chicken. The skin was crispy and chicken was moist on the inside. We primarily wanted an air fryer for the summer months when it's too hot to use the oven. The Hamilton Beach Air Fryer fits the bill! I highly recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Large size. Very attractive unit....fingerprints wioe clean easily.
We're really enjoying crunchy, oil-free french fries without - no guilt. Simple enough to do two or more rounds of fries too.
Only wish it came with a recipe book!

Best kitchen gadget.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a best kitchen gadget now added to my kitchen which is really very useful for me. It has reduced my so much frying work. I can fry so many items without oil at all and some items need very little oil for spreading purpose only, it just amazing. It has reduced my oil intake so much which is very healthy for me. I have purchased it just before 2-3 weeks ago but frequently I am trying to prepare something in it and always the results are amazing. Though I am a new user it's very easy to use. Maintenance and cleaning is also easy. Overall very satisfied results, I liked it very much.

Who says you can’t teach an old cook new tricks...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Decided on air fryer because ‘ oven’ fried was just not cutting it. Big oven, single portions. 1st tried hard cooked eggs and it worked! Reheated frozen homemade pizza and crisped the crust! Frozen hash browns got crispy enough to replace bread in breakfast sandwich. Corn on the cob was tender. I chose this air fryer because I didn’t want to be overwhelmed with all the doodads that other appliances tout while I’m learning. Easy to clean.

Love This Product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s so nice finding a product that can help you stay a bit healthier when cooking and still provide great tasting food! I’m so impressed with the Hamilton Beach 5 Liter Air Fryer that I’m pretty sure a couple of people will be receiving one as a gift this year. This air fryer was larger than I realized, providing adequate space to cook a myriad of food items, but not so bulky that it’s going to take up more space than a coffee maker on your counter top. It has very easy digital programming and if you want to check on the food, you just pull out the basket and push it back in without having to reset anything. The food cooks much faster than in an oven and is a lot less greasy since you aren’t deep frying anything. I usually spray a little cooking spray over the vegetables to give them a crispier texture. So far I’ve only cooked vegetables like potato wedges, cauliflower etc. and look forward to trying different cuts of meat. I love that this machine can cook a whole 5 lb chicken. I imagine it will be important to turn large meat products over half way through cooking them to ensure they’re thoroughly cooking. Setting the fryer for additional time to cook is really simple if needed. Also, for those of you who despise the clean up process, the basket where the food is placed is nonstick so cleaning takes no time at all. As I said, I’m very pleased with this air fryer and will be purchasing a couple as gifts because I know my friends and family will enjoy having one.

So much easier than deep frying!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For reasons that don’t need exploring at this juncture, I have only attempted to deep fry something once. It was mozzarella sticks, dropped into a big pot with somewhat scary (to me) very, very hot vegetable oil. I’m not too proud to say that I was afraid of burning myself throughout much of the process – that oil didn’t LOOK that hot, but it surely was – and therefore I have never fried anything else since. Sticks came out only okay, not great enough to risk burning myself.
Enter the Hamilton Beach 5 Liter Digital Air Fryer with Nonstick Basket. It is big, my friends: be prepared to give up some counter space, as it measures approximately 13 inches tall, by 11 inches wide, by 12 inches deep. Half of this volume encompasses the controls, and the other half is the pan and the basket.
The controls are easy to understand, as they are basically just temperature and time. There are also presets for different types of food; I haven’t used any of them yet.
My chief complaint about this appliance is that Hamilton Beach includes no recipe book. They have guidelines about times and temps, safeguards, cleaning and troubleshooting, in a very comprehensive instruction booklet, but beginners such as myself need a lot of hand holding. Never fear, the internet is here, and I found a simple recipe for onion rings. There was enough room in the basket for two medium sized onions, cut up for rings.
After 17 minutes at 375 degrees, they turned out to be quite delicious (despite my somewhat weak, homemade breadcrumbs). Since this first success, I’ve made Brussel sprouts, potato chips and a Chex-Mix concoction made from oyster crackers and spices.
Everything comes out perfectly crispy and tasty! There is no hot and dangerous (and fattening) oil to deal with. To me, someone who loves fried food, but has always been afraid of the oil and heat and mess of deep frying, this appliance is a godsend. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
(Would’ve liked a recipe book, though.)
Clean up is easy, involving mostly just rinsing and wiping because the surfaces are non-stick.
I would recommend this to a friend!
