> I bought an air fryer a few weeks ago. I have been having lots of fun with it. It works great with frozen foods. Potatoes come out wonderfully crisp and fluffy on the inside. I have found lean meats tend to be a problem though. The come out with a rubbery texture. I was wondering if this has been other people’s experience as well?

Many years ago I saw something like this on “This Old House.” It might be something to consider. We use our air fryer so much that it probably be worth getting for us.

Before the pandemic Mrs. L and I were thinking about towing a fifth wheel all over the USA. We thought the air fryer might replace the oven in a fifth wheel, which would save space.
