I was skeptical, too. Was gifted one, and now it’s my go-to. It’s the best for frozen stuff and leftovers. One of my favorite things to make is a hot sandwich - just assemble your sandwich, pop in the air fryer for a few minutes, and you’re good to go. You avoid having to heat up a skillet and skip on the butter/oil/extra calories.

If your budget allows, and you cook a decent bit (or rely on a microwave often), it’s 100% worth it.

Just a heads up if you put a splash of water in the pan with a sandwich (or anything) and put a lid on it the steam will melt the sandwich and heat it up. That's what you do on a griddle at a restaurant.

I like to toast hoagie buns in mine. One of my favorites is to make shrimp in a skillet like shrimp scampi, take the shrimp out, and cook the sauce down more to thicken it while dicing up a bit of celery. Cut the shrimp if needed depending on how big they are, add the celery, bleu cheese dressing, old bay, bit of hot sauce, and the reduced sauce. Then cut a hoagie bun in half, scoop out some of the bread to make extra room, toast it in the air fryer for a few minutes to crisp it, load it up with the shrimp mix and yum!
