Read this before you buy it!
Don't read their useless instructions. They will tell you not to use cooking spray and not to flip things. They are wrong. You will not get the fried food flavor but you will get exceptionally crispy frozen foods like fries, fish, onion rings, etc.
Here's how to use this effectively:
Put foil on the bottom sheet (one less thing to wash and nothing will burn to it)
Place the basket on the tray and lightly spray the basket. I use coconut oil spray, I find it to be the least intrusive tasting spray.
Place your items on the basket and don't layer them. I made that mistake with onion rings and the layered parts were soggy.
If you're cooking something like onion rings or something that instructs you to flip it.. flip it. Ignore the instructions not to do so. I got soggy fish filets my first try. Since then I've gotten the process down.
This is super small. You won't feed a family with this but you could feed 1 or 2 people depending on what you make. Things like onion rings take up a lot of space. These are inexpensive and you could fit two in most ovens. I attached pictures of the first meal I made on this, before and after. You can see how crispy things got but don't stack things like I did.
