My air fryer basket handle snapped clean off last Tuesday

I was pulling out a batch of fries (you know, the frozen kind) and the plastic handle just broke in my hand. It's a 3 year old model I got from Target, so maybe it was just worn out. I tried to fix it with some heavy duty epoxy, but that only held for about two days. Has anyone else had a basket fail and found a good replacement part, or is it just time for a new unit?

Ugh, that reminds me of when my blender's lid cracked from the steam. It's always the plastic parts that go first.

Wait, you really think plastic parts are always the first to go @loganw85?

That epoxy probably failed because of the heat cycles. Plastic gets brittle. I found a replacement basket on the manufacturer's website for my old model.
