BLACK DECKER Purify 2-Liter Air Fryer White Black HF100WD

I've had this B+D air fryer for a month, and you'll pry it out of my cold, dead hands. I wasn't sure I'd use one enough, and thought about it for a long time. I have a Samsung Convection/Microwave oven that has a SlimFry feature that mimics air frying. That works well, but there are only presets and only four of those and I wanted to do more. The B+D isn't digital, the timer doesn't pause when you remove the basket to turn food or to shake it, and so far as I know, accessories for 2-qt air fryers don't exist, but the aayu baking pan will definitely fit it, and is a great addition. I've ordered a 2nd aayu pan in fact (available on Amazon.) I'm happy with my B+D and a 2-qt is the right size for me. I am using it more and more, even for just heating leftovers, and it does a great job with those; better than the microwave. Last night, I put an entree and a side in and topped it with the top half of a homemade hamburger bun, (cut side up), and gave it 10 minutes after I'd preheated it to 300 degrees. Everything was perfect, and that was very appreciated since I am down with my yearly URI at the moment. Cleanup is minimal and I've only had to soak the basket once, and that only took 10 minutes, and everything then came off with a sponge. I've made roasted bananas, Scalloped Rutabaga, Pork Chunks slightly breaded with Shake 'n Bake, or with panko, Scotch Eggs, Toasted Ravioli, Minted Lamb Burgers, Veggie Burgers, Air-Fried Portabellas, and everything has turned out great. I have had the occasional failure, but sometimes, that's due to the cookbook I've used. I've had trouble finding good cookbooks written by Americans, with American food in them. I can recommend "my Black+Decker 2-Liter Oil Free Air Fryer Cookbook" by Sandy Fairfield. It has a nice range of recipes, and they are written clearly. It doesn't have pictures, except on the front and back covers (color) and black and white ones at the beginning of each chapter. This is not available in a Kindle edition, but is a paperback. Amazon carries it. I'd also highly recommend "The Air Fryer Bible" by Susan Laborde and Elizabeth Hickman. They are two Southern girls, and their recipes are varied, clearly written, with ingredients we have and are familiar with, and for food that we will eat. This is an Amazon Kindle edition that I pre-ordered for myself for Christmas, and it was worth it. I can very highly recommend the B+D Purifry 2-Liter Air Fryer. There are a lot of foods that I like that I don't cook because I have a black thumb when it comes to deep frying, and I always use a thermometer. Now I can make these things and save calories, fat, straining and keeping used oil, or disposing of it properly, I don't have to clean the stove, and best of all, I don't get popped by hot grease, my glasses aren't covered with grease spots, and the kitchen doesn't smell of fried foods for days.

My husband researched Air Fryers, as he was wanting one. After quite a bit of research, he settled on the Black + Decerk 2-Liter Air Fryer. We have had it 3 days, and have used it 5-6 times already. This Air Fryer is very easy to use. We hit the ground running, and haven't looked back since. The food comes our crispy without the grease. Yes! No grease, less calories, ultimately helping to lower the cholesterol down the road too. Hey, what else can you ask for? We have made fried chicken, without the "fry" or "grease" part. The chicken came out crispy, and again, no grease! Love it! Love fried chicken! We have made bacon in it, yummy! We have cooked frozen pizza rolls in it, and are looking forward to trying other food as well. The only drawback is there are small numbers on the dial. It would be nice if the numbers were a little bit larger. Oh, the clean up is very easy too! Do we recommend this product, you betcha! Enjoy! Read more

My husband is a fried food lover, kept turning his nose up at the thought of an air fryer, until I used it the first time! We both love this fryer, easy to clean and so fast! No oil, no waiting for oil, no turning on the oven, or waiting for the oven to preheat. I "baked" pigs in a blanket the other day.... the cresent roll was perfect in about 3 minutes. After the first 7, I didn't want to try to many the first time, I decided to microwave the piggy before wrapping it in the cresent roll and they were perfect! We also baked large potatoes in 30 minutes! They were every bit as good as baking in the big oven for over an hour. So far we have cooked, french fries,(even left over fast food fries) cheese sticks, pepper poppers, garlic bread, I did try to make my own corn chips from corn tortillas but that didn't work. Cooked them but not like I like them. It's great for reheating, and best thing about it, with no oil, it's healthier for us than conventional frying. If your on the fence...JUMP over! I bought both of my adult married boys one for Christmas and they already love it! Read more
