I did that for today: I tried once frozen chips (without adding oil) and once home fries (with a tablespoon of oil): it is very fast ( 15 minutes in both cases) and it's good. I also tried a chicken leg: this is good too (you have to brush with oil and spices before), but it takes longer (25 minutes). It's not (too) galley to clean and no odor. In fact it is really perfect for people like me who never have time to cook (I never bought conventional fryer is too long and it requires too much maintenance). Anyway I hesitated, but I do not regret! Vive skinny fries!
