Air Fryer Cooking

Okay... I've been teased enough. I don't need the pressure cooker aspects.. just the air fryer. What features should I shop for? How large should the cooking area be?

 

Just watched some vids and yes.. size does matter. There are only two adults in the house but I rarely cook anything that we don't make two meals of. I was left thinking I don't want to air fry three chicken thighs at a time.

 

I was shopping with my mouse and was looking at this one. 14qt size for two bills.

The question that I have is what sort of service is required to run one of these appliances? Being as I live in an old house, I have one.. yes one 15a circuit in my kitchen. I ran a designated 20a service years ago to power my microwave hood. I can run another circuit but would rather not.

 

I like your air fryer and see that it can be had at my local Target for seventy bucks more. I like and trust the name. I only plan on buying once.

 

15a and I'm all in. I will have to do some shopping for your unit is too tall for my kitchen. Being an old kitchen, I only have 14" between counter top and upper cabinets. I need the toaster ability and quite interested in the air fry features. It would be best if it was large enough to do up a package of chicken thighs and I would hate ruling out feeding it a 12" pizza on occasion. All of the local stores are out of stock on quality air fryers right now. Not that I have to have one today but fried chicken for dinner sure sounds good.

Appreciate the supply requirements. 1800w seems to be the norm for the better fryers but none mention the amps required.

 

@Unforgiven if you were buying again, would you go with the same model? I've spent the afternoon shopping and I'm finding it difficult to find a unit I like better than yours. There is one available here and unless I stumble across something better or you have another to suggest... I'll snag one up tomorrow. I decided that I'll move my food vac to where I'd like to place the air fryer and place the fryer on my cart where the vac resides. I simply can't find one that I like that will fit between counter and upper cabinets.

Added... I knew if I looked long enough I'd find a fryer I like as well as yours. Perhaps better for it's wider and less tall. It is made by Breville which is another brand that I'm impressed with. It is large enough to do a thirteen inch pizza or a traditional muffin tin. It will even do a 14 pound turkey if you don't mind parting with $400 for one.. I think not.
