Has anyone used an air fryer for crunchy fried tofu?

I find the pan fried tofu is too greasy and baking the tofu& flipping it several times is unsatisfactory.

Thanks for any input

I've asked around & people who like them, don't just like them, they LOVE them. Like Ferrets, on this thread.

Can't wait to hear your verdict.

Interesting idea, the air fryer.

I assume you are all starting with firm tofu that has been frozen, thawed, pressed and drained.

The tofu's thawed-frozen texture is changed; it marinates well.

I have been happy with my cast iron skillet and light oil and good heat.
