      Apparently the air fryer does a good job making things crispy and flaky (like real fried food). The nuwave cooks larger quantities and makes things moist. Since I've never really gone for fried

      If things don't come out as crisp as you'd like you can spray a little olive oil on them before cooking, and it helps to crisp up. I do that with my wings.

    I have a NuWave, and use it pretty much every day. Between that and the range top, I don't really even need an oven.

    I think it works similarly to an air fryer.

    The other gadget I'm thinking about is an instant pot pressure cooker.

    I have a nuwave too, I haven’t had an oven for years. Love the nuwave also. You can cook a lot of great things in there.

    Since I've never really gone for fried food, I don't miss it. The Nuwave works for me. But for people that want healthy fried food, the air fryer sounds like a winner!

    I guess I should clarify.. if you put breaded chicken nuggets into the nuwave, its like they were baked in an oven.. NOT like they were microwaved. (I have kids.. no nuggets for me).

    Thanks for the tip about adding a bit of oil..I'll try it out!
