Air fryer is different than a microwave. IMHO much better. "Fryer" in air fryer can be deceiving. You don't add any oils in the bucket that holds the food. A lot of meals only require a light brush coating of veggie oil.

For grilled cheese, you assemble your grill cheese sandwich for the air fryer the same way you would to make on a griddle or in frying pan on stovetop. You place the prepared sandwich inside the bucket of the air fryer after it has preheated to 400 degrees for 12 minutes. You do need to flip it inside the bucket after 6 minutes but it is fairly easy to do with your hand, if you're are careful.

Re-heating left over pizza is much better in the air fryer than microwave.

There are some good videos on Youtube on how to use and clean air fryers. I read that most people buy an air fryer and it is about 3 months before they start using it because they feel a bit intimidated. It was a full month before I started using mine for the same reason:)

This is the one I have. It has a 6 quart bucket/tray but still fits nicely tucked away in a cabinet. I don't like my kitchen countertops cluttered with small appliances.air fryer.jpg

24 minutes airfryer grilled cheese? Made in a non stick pan it would have been eaten by then:>)

I have several oil sprayers. Tiny glas things. Olive, vegetable, chilli. Yes, you can work without it but food has to taste good and look good when served.
Sheet pan vegetable and tofu come out great.
I can get a standard frozen pizza in as well as LeCreuset square 6-8 helping dishes. If you have favorite dishes either take them with you or a paper cut out for size.

That sounds like me. One of my gfriends gave me one. I couldn't do it, stalled, and them finally talked myself out of it. I kept saying how much I liked to cook and doctor up my veggies, etc. Finally, gave it to one of our other friends.

Last week I was so tired from running around, I was wishing I still had it...
 
It will be left overs today. We are cooking for tomorrow. Bread, deviled eggs & cake layers are done. I've prepped the veggies except for taters. Getting the pork roast out to defrost next.
 
Dinner today was a braised pork roast w/gravy, 7-layer salad, cheddar/onions au gratin potatoes & green beans. I made a Strawberry-Lemonade cake for dessert. Leftovers are put up & dishes in washer & I definitely at too much. Soon it will be time to crash in the recline.
