      Awe, so happy for you! I would start slow – try reheating something from frozen like french fries or tater tots and then work your way up to chicken wings or a simple dessert like fried Oreos. Then just keep going! Before long you’ll be using it so much you won’t hardly ever use anything else. 🙂

    The air fryer is the absolutely best way reheat leftover pizza. We use the reheat function on ours. 12 minutes at 240 degrees.

      Absolutely! We love to use the air fryer to reheat leftovers – in fact, I think pizza is way better reheated in the air fryer than any other way! 🙂
