Burned my first batch of beans in a popcorn popper and switched to a $22 air fryer basket instead
Last Saturday I tried roasting green beans in a hot air popcorn popper I got at a garage sale for $4, and by minute six they were smoking and smelled like burnt toast. I dumped them in a colander, let them cool, and brewed a cup anyway, and it tasted like licking an ashtray. A guy on a home roasting forum said to try a mesh air fryer basket at 400 degrees for about 12 minutes, shaking it every 3 minutes. First try that way came out even and chocolatey, and now I am never going back to the popper. Has anyone else made the switch to an air fryer for small batches?

Was team popper all the way, but your burnt ash story sold me.
