Paula Deen 10 QT Digital Air Fryer with LED Display - 1700W Stainless Steel Airfryer, 10 Preset Functions, Ceramic Non-Stick Coating, Auto Shut-Off & 50 Recipes - Perfect for Healthy Frying, Baking, Roasting & Family Cooking

I was fooling around with the oven/rotisserie style air fryer when I should have listened to my mom and gotten a basket-style like this.In any case, here we are! Better late than never. There are many pros—easy to clean, easy presets, large capacity, and more. My teens use this with ease every day. The clean up is a breeze as there are only 2 pieces— the basket and a rack. They rinse off at best and at worst need to be wiped with a sponge. So it maybe takes 2 mins to have it up and running for the next batch of food.A few cons are that there are no settings for pork and there was only a recipe book and no real instructions. There’s been a lot of trial and error with things like bone in vs boneless chicken and pork, frozen vs thawed, pizza rolls and mozzarella sticks, pretzels, and a couple of other foods. The great thing is that you can change the time or the temp at any point during the cook cycle. So if you open and realize you’re burning the outside but the inside isn’t cooked, you can change any setting. If I were you I’d buy a meat thermometer just to be safe.Maybe it’s not as versatile as the oven style, but for a family on the go that has little time for cleaning, this is a far superior option. Just keeping my fingers crossed that this thing lasts more than a couple of months. Will update on that later.I love this air fryer. I have cooked some many things. Makes the best and easy French fries. Makes perfect bacon. Wiping the outside the Paula Deen logo in white wiped off very easily which was odd. But I had no clue you should put your air fryer on a heat protective pad. The heat from air fryer cracked my counter. The heat protective are so cheap.The texture of the chicken was not crispy. It tasted like baked chicken which is not a bad thing but I guess I was under the impression that the skin would be crispy.??‍♀️ I put the chicken in a filter basket on top of heating element; maybe that had something to do with the texture of the chicken.So far, Salmon with the skin on is the only thing that didn't cook correctly. But over the last week, we have used this for EVERY meal and from chicken to all kinds of fried food bites and even hot dogs, this machine is big enough to cook for a family and makes the food taste sooooo good, plus it is way easier to cook in versus a pan on the stove or in a traditional oven AND faster.My product arrived badly damaged with a big gash in the side of the box that went through to the air fryer. I have attempted to contact Amazon since it was Amazon tape covering the gash. I cannot send it back I do not have a box big enough and the other box is trash. I would like some compensation for damage fees at least since it was an expensive purchase. Which is way too bad because I really liked it! If you as the seller could contact them it would be great. I have included pics.Love this Paula Deen XL airfryer. It is quiet and delivers great results from crispy fries to juicy steaks thus far. Very happyMy daughter kept bugging me to get an air fryer. Came across this one on Amazon. Nice product. Easy to use. I’m learning it’s better for vegetables. You can’t really get the rich flavor you want in meats when you air fry. Just my personal opinion.Dislike - the basket is smaller than expect.I cook everything in this air fryer it is spacious…Easy to follow instructionsEasy to cleanAwesome product, great size for a family. The chicken comes out so crispy and juicy. Kale chips so easy and fast. Love it
