Air fryers

1. really good, can do stuff straight from the freezer no waiting for it to warm up, and quicker to cook - so frozen veggie nuggets, hash browns, fries, baked potatoes, but also aubergine spears, halloumi cubes to really well
   
2. it turns off once the timer stops. Small thing but if you might be distracted or need to do something its not going to keep roasting your thing - with small kids i think this is an overlooked benefit
   
3. it is big. we have ninja max i think - would have liked to browse a bit more and find a microwave-shaped one so can put things on top. I think people generally recommend square/ rectangle basket over circle but glad we bought anyway
   
4. it needs cleaning more than i assume... i should clean it more. will get the silcone liners thanks
   
5. assume 4-6 weeks or looking at everything through the lens of 'can i do this in the airfrier'
   
6. it takes some learning how long and what temp to do stuff, but with the digital timer it's much easier to replicate once you nail them
