"question about Costco’s return policy"
copped a Ninja air fryer/toaster
damn.. the wings came out tasting lovely but this will have to be used on the deck.
got it from costco and heard their return policy is pretty good. But can you return an air fryer once its been used?
is it common for an air fryer to smoke up the whole damn house?

6. "I have the same one.. but my shit was smokey as fuck" In response to Reply # 5
maybe I had the temp too high.
twas my first time and I want this shit to work because the wings were tasty as hell..
but that smoke was no joke. Had the hood vent on too in the kitchen. I don’t want the whole house percolating for days.

I also sprayed the fry basket with avocado oil. Could that be the problem?

It will put off a little smoke sometimes but nothing excessive.
I would clean it out and check the inside. Give it one more try and see if it happens again. If it does then take it back to Costco. They take anything back.
I once saw a woman return an empty package of spinach.

I also think I put the wings in the while it was preheating. I wonder if that could be the problem

11. "second time was much better" In response to Reply # 0
turned down the heat a bit and air fried some chicken thighs and fries..
delicious.
I think I hit the heating element the first time I put them in so it was smoking like crazy.

17. "I’ve been doing this to reverse sear ribeye. " In response to Reply # 12
Use the air fryer at a lower temp like 250, and once the internal temp (of a thick-cut ribeye) gets to around 110-115 transfer either to the grill outside or a cast iron skillet at a super high temp to get a good sear. After searing both sides let rest for 5 minutes or so as the temp rises to 130-135 for a perfect medium rare steak.

22. "prolly like 5 things total" In response to Reply # 20
1) didn’t do a proper burn off before the first cook
2) wings weren’t defrosted all the way
3) The food touched the top heating element
4) sprayed avocado oil on the basket. While they say this is fine I tried it without the spray and it performed much better.
I actually think the wings not being totally defrosted was the main issue. Cant wait to try this roasting pan with some veggies and fish or chicken strips.
