My air fryer nearly started a small fire last Tuesday...

I was making some frozen chicken wings and tossed them in without patting them dry first... big mistake. The grease started smoking so bad my smoke detector went off and my neighbor actually knocked on the door to check on me. Turns out the wet batter just dripped onto the heating element and caught. Has anyone else had a near disaster like this with wet food in their air fryer?

Honestly that's rough, I feel for you. Tbh I had a similar scare with some wet batter on fish sticks once and it was terrifying how fast the smoke filled up the kitchen. You're definitely not alone in learning this one the hard way.

80% of the time it's just people not reading the manual. Dry food before you put it in, that's air fryer 101.
