Basket air fryer

Crisps breaded and coated foods with a spoonful of oil instead of a pan of it.

What it is and why it matters

An air fryer is a countertop convection oven with a basket. It blows hot air around food so breaded and coated foods crisp with a spoonful of oil instead of a pan of it. Cook in a single layer so the air can reach every piece.
