Elite Platinum EAF-1506D 3.5 Quart Digital vs Emerald SM-AIR-1801

The fryer basket sits in a removable basket and both are easy to clean. The mozz sticks oozed a little on to the baskets and after it cooled to the touch just simply wiped it clean with a damp paper towel.

I do not know what grade to post I have only used this Fryer once doing small potatoes The coating on the basket came off and stuck to the food. It is a thin plastic-like coating which peels off! I dared not eat the potatoes! Now after having washed the basket and letting it air dry it has rust on it. I am very sorry since I have not even had a chance to test this fryer Has anybody else had the same experience with this fryer? I have to return it. On the photos you may see the very thin plastic coating which came off while cooking

You can get a lot of cooking ideas from FB groups once you figure out the correct times. There is a slight learning curve to that part but once you get it food comes out terrific. We did have a problem with the inner pan scratching but we called up the company and they sent a new pan right away. Other than that this airfryer is awesome

This air fryer gets three stars because I have to cook foods twice as long as instructed and they have small cooking area. You must cook in batches and this is one of the bigger models, so not a good choice if cooking for large families. I do like that I can sprinkle with a bit of olive oil rather than deep fry foods and I like the end results when I have used it but watch the surrounding areas getting too hot.
