    Hi, just wanted to let you know that it's not a good idea to use alfoil directly in contact with food at any extreme temperature. At extreme high or low temperatures alfoil starts to exude some chemicals that are considered poison.

    my main question atm on air friers is the oil/fat need to be dispersed I guess to cover everything.
    That would include the fryer itself right?
    Anyone that ever had a frying pan on even with minimal oil would know the mess it makes.
    So how does an air frier magic away the fat and oil and just keep it on the food?
    Anyone that ever painted anything knows the spray goes everywhere even with the best care..

I also don't use as much seasoning as I used to, either... I don't know how the heck blowing air makes that much of a difference.

Second idea, maybe put the fryer on top of a cutting board on the floor next to an outlet (if you don't have kids nor pets, of course). You can store it on top of the fridge or in a closet and just bring it out when you use it. Hope this helps.

    I was recently gifted an older Power XL 3.4 quart airfryer. I have never used an airfryer before. It only came with the fry tray, and I would like to buy some other accessories for it. It is round and the bottom of the outer basket is right at 8" in diameter, and the fry tray insert is 8 1/8" in diameter. I'm not sure what size diameter accessories to get for this unit specifically a grill plate that sits on the bottom of the outer basket. I have Google searched online but am not coming up with any suggestions. Please help!

    Remember when air frying was just one word? Baking.

    You should "push" the clear square lever (on top of the handle) towards the air fryer, to pull out the tray.
    Don't just simply force pull the tray out.
