I've been reheating pizza in mine and it works like a charm.  Like 3-4 minutes tops and it is perfect.

I have a pizza reheating regimen I'm already married to.  Heat it on a griddle, from underneath - it's the bomb-diggity.

I've tried that - air fryer method beats it IMO.

I can't fit slices of the pizza I get into my air fryer.  It's this huge Brooklyn-style pizza that makes me very fat.

Edit: but I will cut some up and try it and let you know why you are wrong.

Ah yes, that's the only issue.  You can only fit smaller pieces in, and only one at a time generally.  

I typically have 2 leftover slices.  I'll eat one while heating up the second.  Glorious.  Now I'm hungry.

wat?

if wings took 40 minutes to cook in an air fryer, you're doing it wrong.

sorry, I just threw that out there - air fryer is nice if you're going with fairly small portions - we just can't do that

I checked for air fryer wings recipes - and it's saying 30 minutes ...so not that far off.

This guy knows stuff.  Best way to get a crispy crust and melty top.  Honestly it's better after doing this than when fresh.

Yup. If I get a floppy pizza delivered I do it before I eat it. 

Just made hot dogs for my kids in the airfryer, before I go to work. Fast, easy and they loved them. Who deosn't love hot dogs with cheese? At least I gave them a bunch of fresh fruit.

Girlfriend's mom got us one for Xmas last year, it's a small 2.5 quart size, so we cant do large items in it but I love it and use it 2-4 times a week for side dishes.

Potatoes are awesome in it. I do wedges, hand cut fries, large diced, etc. I'll cut up 2 or 3 potatoes, toss with about a tablespoon of oil, season, and fry them at 400 for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 min or so. Perfect every time, nice and crispy.

Broccoli is one of my favorites. Cut into florets or decent sized mini stalks and do them like potatoes - toss in a tiny bit of oil (don't completely coat them), salt and pepper, maybe garlic powder. Fry at 400 for 5-9 minutes. Nice and crispy with a nice char, like oven roasting without the time, mess, or hot kitchen.

Almost any veggie is really good if you like roasted veggies (especially if you like a bit of char on them like we do). Carrots, cauliflower, green beans, asparagus...they're all great in the air fryer. Way better than steaming or blanching, and faster/easier than grilling or oven roasting.

I've also done boneless chicken breasts, chicken thighs, wings, frozen egg rolls, salmon...once you get the hang of it and know the right temp to fry at, it's pretty foolproof and the results are always great. I haven't made anything with it we haven't really liked.

Can these things toast bread like a normal toaster?

Air fryer does the same, just sayin'.  And quicker.  Trust me I was a huge fan of doing it this way until we got the air fryer.  It's magic.

air-fryar replacement was long overdue
