My parents got me one of them fancy countertop air fryer/oven things and idk what to cook first when I get it set up. According to the box, it does everything a normal oven does as well as air fries. It can hold two whole chickens or 1 frozen pizza. It came with a rack for things like toast and a baking sheet. I also have a bunch of pans and stuff that I was given when I got my house that I’ve never used.

I don’t know much about actually cooking food other than chicken should not be medium rare and that the cereal goes before the milk.

    Specifically talking about the inside walls and glass door, if the wire racks or other accessories look like they need it I take them out and go at them with soap and water. If the wipe down isn’t sufficient for the inside then a wet sponge and a tiny bit of dish soap should be enough, just wipe it with a wet paper towel or something afterwards to make sure all the soap is removed.

    It’s incredibly easy to clean up if you do it before using it again. It’s only repeated exposures to heat* that will cause oil to polymerize and become nigh impossible to clean off.

    *or temps significantly above what you’re cooking at in an air fryer

      Thanks for the informative reply! That doesn’t sound too bad, I had pictured having to soak bits like you might with an oven roaster, and that’s kind of hassle I don’t need lol
      I think after an imminent house move I might take the plunge and try one, everyone who has seems to only have good things to say (I have used a really old fashioned halogen one before they became trendy, so I know they can cook well, but I never had to clean that one haha)…
