Hamilton Beach 3 Liter Air Fryer Model 35065

I like the digital air fryer. I thought it would be a good idea to only cook foods that one would normally fry. A variety of items can be cooked in this fryer. It seemed a bit large for my countertop when I unpack it. I plugged the pan in after cleaning it. The basket and pan had to be in the unit before the “on” indicator lit up. Second, you have to press the “on” indicator button in order for the menu to light up. That wasn’t clear from the instructions. I cooked fries the first time I used it. I think they didn’t turn out well, but I didn’t prepare them right. I did not spray the fries evenly with oil. The first time I cooked them. I put them on an even layer in the basket, seasoned and oiled them, and cooked them in the vegetable setting. They were almost caramelized and tender. I have cooked steaks three times. I was able to fit four small steaks in the basket. Again, oiled them and seasoned well, put them in a basket and cooked them in a steak setting. I increased the standard time setting from 35 minutes to 42 minutes after we liked ours. They were tender on the inside and almost crisp on the outside. I would recommend this fryer to others. I can’t wait to try other foods in this appliance. The basked and bottom pan are non-stick and easy to clean, are other features I like about this fryer. There is a hidden cord store inside the fryer’s body. I don’t like the finish of it because it smudges easily and one can leave fingerprints on it. The all-black finish is better for me. If you want the unit to start without the basking and pan being in it, you have to press the “on” button for a few seconds before the menu options appear. It would be easier to view the display on the front of the unit if it were on the top.
