Air fryer is just pure convenience. I could cook the chicken in the oven and probably have it come out okay. But, I could cook it in the air fryer, have nice and crunchy skin and save a pan.

I find cleaning the air fryer to be a pain. It's got the rack at the bottom that I have to scrum, and then the catch pan. If I cook a chicken in my cast iron pan in the oven, I have one flat surface to clean, as opposed to 1 flat surface and one complicated surface. What am I missing?

Put tinfoil at the the bottom. Throw tinfoil away if dirty.

The bin itself isn't much of a problem. It's the rack that holds the food up so the air can circulate underneath that's the real bitch to clean.

Yeah the oven you just need to turn on clean cycle, leave the house for a few hours and then shop vac any ashes once it cools down.

My oven doesn't even get dirty when I cook a chicken. I haven't needed to clean mine in the 5 years I've lived in my house and we cook multiple times every week.

But every time we use our air fryer, I need to clean it because it's a mess.

Laziness.

I clean it infrequently. Pretty much when grease from previous foods starts impacting the flavor in a negative way.

I just heat it up and pour out the grease. Then scrub it, cleans up easily when everything is hot.

I should add, small air fryers suck. You need a good sized one for it to be worth using.
