I have cooked joints of beef and gammon plus a whole chicken in my air fryer. All turned out really juicy and properly cooked. I did test with a meat thermometer to enszure they were cooked through. I wouldn't do my meat any other way now.

Thank you for doing this, I think using grill makes it closer to the toast I like. What I'm thinking is that maybe if I put a rack in and put my bread on that so that it's closer to the element. The out side might toast quicker before the inside has a chance to dry out maybe. I think it might be more like the way a toaster works. I had a problem with my food staying in one place when I turned My air fryer on, because of the fan. I put a small spoon on top of my food and it held it still till it was cooked. You just need to be careful not to reach in and grab the spoon when your done, use tongs or oven mits to take it out and lay it down and let it cool for a bit.

Perhaps try running it empty a few times to see of you can 'burn' the smell off. Hopefully it'll sort itself out soon. Thank you for watching 😊
