Would never have purchased one myself but got a Ninja fryer/toaster, etc., etc. for Christmas so I have really tried to learn to use it. Unimpressed. potato chips supposed to take 20 minutes but take closer to 40 and are still soggy in the middle. Chicken burned on the outside before it cooked on the inside and was far afield from "fried". tried squash and it burned as well. toast does ok, but so did my $15 toaster (which, sadly, I gave away when I got the fryer. and DO NOT buy the cookbook; it is poorly written, senselessly arranged and unimaginative at best.
