In reply to Margo Smith. My Mealthy CripLid has a fan. It wouldn't be a true Air Fryer without one.

All good points! The main thing I appreciate is that I don’t have to transfer anything to my oven, making it easier to have one pot meals – and I can avoid getting out my Air Fryer as well :). But yes, I think you definitely made a good point that it doesn’t circulate the air. Thanks for sharing, Margo! I’m going to be trying some other meals soon.

I just recieved my CrispLid. Today I came into possesion of a beautiful piece of wild salmon. I’d heard that fish came out well in the air fryer, so I decided to try it. The Mealthy CrispLid is basically a broiler. It’s well made and it was easy and intuitive to use. I think where it differs from a true air fryer is that it doesn’t have the convection fan to circulate the hot air and crisp and cook the food on all sides. My fish cooked from the top down. The top browned nicely, but it took a while to cook through. The bottom did not brown. It was good, but not anything I could not have produced in my oven. That said, I think it has some good applications, espeically if you don’t have an oven or if it’s too hot to use it.

This sounds amazing! I don’t have an air fryer, so this would be a great option for me!
