No. Air Fryers, like Phillips, directs the hot air flow. This is a Convection Oven, which uses a fan or fans in the back of the oven to move the heated air around in the oven compartment, distributing it more evenly than a regular oven. I would not classify this product as an "air fry" capable unit. You can "bake" in this, without grease, and I would be curious to see and taste the difference in simply baking and air frying.

Yes. I have, and it worked fine. Just make sure you grab the handle only, and even then, you may want to use an oven mitt or something.

I am not a doughnut maker but I do not see why it would not work. The mixer has plenty of power and speed.

The pan is pretty deep, so I don't see why not. I've done some pan frying but no deep frying in mine.

Personally I would not...it is designed as a deep sauce and Fry Pan with quasi WOK capability. A Fry Daddy would be a better alternative. If you do Deep Fry it it heed the warning of not too high of heat setting. Certainly does a great job Frying Chicken and small batches of Fries but I don't think the intent is for Deep Frying large batches but that poses the question, "how deep?" If you are a party of one as myself certainly small Fry batches of Deep Fry are doable but it does have a handle so be careful. There are better alternatives for deep Frying IMO.

Unfortunately mine did not work and I never returned it. Good luck. Maybe frys would be better??

Since it is a large deep fryer. I would have to believe that you can cook just about anything friable in this unit.My opinion only.....

I haven't tried fish in it because I like my fish pan-fried rather than baked or roasted. Chicken is AMAZING. I had actually gone off roasting chicken because my the time the skin was as crispy as I liked it, the flesh would be overdone and a bit dry. However, chicken in the Airfryer is delicious and fabulous. French fries cook really nicely whether they be the frozen type or homemade oven fries. I love the fact that it only takes 5 minutes to heat up and I don't have to heat an entire oven just to cook some fries for myself.

Yes to the fries and pizza. Have not tried the crescent rolls though. Did bake popovers in the oven - they came out well. Key is to pre-heat the oven for a few minutes. Use care to not breathe in the smoke that comes off the hot Teflon surfaces. This little oven is great. Makes perfect fried eggs! You never have to turn them and risk broken yokes. I like this oven so much, I bought a 2nd one to put away in case my current oven stops working. Have also sent this oven to friends for birthday presents. Good luck with yours. Do not ever try to make oatmeal in it - what a mess! Have fun! Yes to the fries and pizza. Have not tried the crescent rolls though. Did bake popovers in the oven - they came out well.

Yes. I love Airbake pans. I always have one or two for my baking. The air layer between the metal layers keeps cookies from burning on the bottom and makes everything else cook evenly, too.

I've only used non-stick spray on mine. With no sticking issues at all. I make bagels/cake like items though, not donuts. Maybe the batter makes a difference?

Why do people answer if they never tried? I have cooked potato fries and it came out perfect. Just use oil. Maybe even toss raw potatoes in oil first then cook. Works great for grilled vegetables doing the same way.

I am not sure. I have never tried to do that since I have a fry daddy. But I really love this skillet! I use it almost every day.

Yes you can. At least I do, and so far no problem. It doesn't really stop the frying smell, but it avoids the splashing around.

Definitely makes fries, fried chicken, and chicken fried steak. I don't know about donuts, but I don't see why not.

I have never tried that but I see no reason why you couldn't. I have fried bacon and eggs on it, did fine. Hope this helps. I love mine.
