So many people told me I \u201cdidn\u2019t need\u201d an air fryer because it was \u201cjust a convection oven\u201d and \u201cnot that useful.\u201d Wrong. 100% wrong. This machine is easy to use and cooks everything quickly. Frozen mac and cheese balls, <a href=\"https:\/\/sporked.com\/article\/best-tofu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">packaged tofu<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/sporked.com\/article\/best-frozen-chicken-tenders\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">chicken tenders<\/a> all get perfectly crispy in this machine.
