For proper flavor you still have to add a fat though. But I agree, anything that's frozen and pre-cooked cooks so much faster in the air fryer than preheating and baking in your oven. It makes meals so much faster whether it's being used for an entree or or a side.

I got the Ninja Air Fryer that has the drawer that pops out but I believe those front loaders that have two shelves for baking sheets with racks in them would be a lot more useful.

The BEST thing for an air fryer is the sprayable avocado oil. Perfect for getting a light coating on the top before you cook

They have fill it yourself manual pump sprayers that work fantastic. That way you know what the oil is and it isn't using an aerosol.

This. Aerosols will screw with the nonstick coating of your air fryer. I tend to just baste mine in oil to eliminate any aerosol issue

Can confirm, front load much better. I have a basket air fryer. Been using my room mates front load style with shelves and I’ll be replacing my basket style once I move out.

My wife and I will probably upgrade to the dual door dual shelf style also but it does take up a lot of real estate on your countertops so I see why the basket type would be very popular. Just make sure you get one that doesn't vent the heat downwards I hear they can melt your countertops. I saw some of the newer designs blow out of the side instead.

The front loader/toaster oven combo is a real game changer.
