@c8bf19eb I did a pretty major rethink of my kitchen just to accommodate one, thinking it would be great for my health. 

Wound up making a little custom pot rack for over my counter and putting a couple bakers’ racks in my living room, because my kitchen is a tiny galley with literally ONE DRAWER, so storage is a fucking disaster. I keep the air fryer in my cupboard.

But this was the best project I’ve never done. The pot rack was $20 in hardware bits. 

Ignore my mess. Real time. :)

 @61173325 No more complaints. I have more space in my kitchen but have clearly been using it inefficiently lol! 

 @c8bf19eb haha. Yeah, my space tends to shut people up if that’s the case. lol. Yeah, put your thinking cap on. It’s actually a really fun project.

But travelling for nearly 5 years straight and staying with probably over 100 kitchens in that time taught me some creative solutions. :) 

 @c8bf19eb but the air fryer is useful in so many ways. Amazing salad croutons. 

I use it for roasting mushrooms for pizza because it extracts ALL the liquid. Takes 8 minutes. Amazing. 

You can get incredible breaded stuff too, but the trick is drizzling oil into bread crumbs before you dredge/egg/bread your stuff. I’ve made great breaded onion rings, believe it or not.

 @61173325 Those onion rings are thiccc! That cannot possibly be drippy batter can it? 

 @c8bf19eb I think I brined them overnight in salty spicy buttermilk then dredged in flour, egg, then the “oil drizzled breadcrumbs,” and the latter means you don’t have to worry about spraying with oil when you air fry them.
