A:AnswerI bought this as a Christmas gift for a friend so I don’t have any info on it but I can tell you that I’ve used air fryers for toasting bread and rolls before. You just have to keep an eye on it because they toast very quickly.
A:AnswerYes. It is recommended that you brush them with your oil, or use a sprayer before putting them in fryer. I do this myself with great success. They come out being like deep fried without being soggy from it.
A:AnswerI would not worry about it as it must made with heat resistant rubber, you do see pro chefs using kitchen tools with plastic/rubber contact ends, don't you?
A:AnswerHi. I’m no expect but mine was not functioning properly and I noticed there was a screw loose on the handle from the inside. I tightened it and it actually made a difference.
A:AnswerLike all air fryers (and the recipes for them), the answer starts with "IT DEPENDS." It will vary with the temp of the food you start with (e.g., some frozen items are sold FOR air frying), how much you fill up the bin, and how "done" you want the end result to be. For meat, it is always a good idea to have a good thermometer to test a couple spots on the batch to see just how "done" it got. If in doubt, select an appropriate cook temp and go a couple minutes shorter than you think, then test, and continue to heat if necessary.
A:AnswerDepends on what you think is a "large" bagel. I'm in NYC, where bagels can be enormous (though not necessarily better tasting for that). But anything more than 4" in diameter (i.e., 4 x 2, next to each other) could only fit if the pieces were stacked slightly, so if you were looking to melt cheese on them, you would have to be very careful as far as cooking time and temperature or the melted cheese might just wind up in the bottom of the cooking area.
