IMHO the two basket concept leaves me underwhelmed - an unnecessary and over-hyped complication - one of the air fryer's main attributes is its simplicity.

I have both the APO and an Air Fryer (6.5 qt)
I use both
The APO for large items, items for a long cook, items I want to cook with steam, bread etc. - I don't do SV
The Air Fryer for quick, small items (fries, wings, burgers etc)
The APO is like a regular oven on steroids - does everything well.
The Air Fryer doesn't need preheating, it's good to go - small space, fan driven heat.
Cooking multiple items - wings 20 min/ fries 10 min. - set timer for 10 minutes, put in wings - after 10 min add the fries and reset the timer for 10 minutes has worked for me - if there is a large temp difference adjust the time - instead of 10 min @ 425 try 15 min @ 350
Using an air fryer doesn't need to be more complicated than a stove top burner.
The APO though has a bit more of a learning curve

It looks likethe scallops were IQF - like shrimp usually are. Then they're just placed in a sealed bag - no vacuum.
No vacuum is an invitation to freezer burn - if you have access to a vac sealer I would use it on those items if longer term storage is in the cards.

Were they all vacuum sealed? The Sea scallops and the other large bag don't appear to be, I'm used to seeing vacuum sealed packages looking like the "life has been sucked out of them"

I wouldn't go by "listed" sizes as I ordered 5 different ones from Amazon that were the correct size according to the listing, the ones I quoted:
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00H94EPJ2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
were the only ones that actually fit in the grooves, which is what I wanted. I did not look for pans as what I had already did the job. I was interested in a rack or "perforated pan" that I could use to keep food elevated, these worked. They are expensive but it seems they are the only ones available and they are of good quality.

They also say they will replace the easily-buckling sheet pan, but so far they haven't done that.
I have bought a lot of accessories to fit in the APO, but none of them fits exactly, so I'm waiting to hear from Anova (which will surely occur someday.)
For now I'm using the racks which I bought for 1/2 sheet pans, which are a bit too wide for the oven, so they must go in at an angle. They are, however, perfectly adequate holding up chicken wings or thighs, just remember to put the official sheet pan on the bottom of the oven so that it can collect drips.
They replaced mine:
Jo had her tank replaced
Check out the racks I recommended in previous post, they do fit exactly

Thank you for the rack recommendation. They are on the pricey side for what they are but if they fit well, they're worth it.
They fit perfectly, smoothly slide in and out of the grooves and are rigid enough that there is no concern of them popping out of the grooves.
I'll assume Amazon "down under" has the same return policies as here in Canada, so order one and if it doesn't do the job for you, return it. Yes they are pricey, but they do the job and there isn't an alternative. I ordered 5 different ones before I got these. I returned the others.

Congratulations Jack, you'll love it.
These racks are sturdy and fit perfectly in the grooves.

I just use laundry tub - large volume so cool temp is maintained for longer - as soon as the protein has thawed to the "flexible" stage it's into the fridge.

I do take it out of the vacuum pack.
Why?
I vacuum seal a number of my proteins and find defrosting in the sink or a bowl of water the most efficient and the product doesn't become water-logged.

In Canada we saved a bunch of money, because Amazon didn't have "Prime Day" due to a number of fulfillment centres closing due to Covid 19 outbreaks.

The only chef-branded cookware that I ever bought was her oval saucepan.
I got it especially for cooking spaghetti/linguine/fettucine etc.. No need to break to fit or baby it as it "melts to fit in pot. Also could use way less water for a quicker boil.
Then I went full-on induction and my nephew ended up with it. 😰

I enjoy cooking on a griddle (I call it a plancha just becuz), especially one which can then be moved into the sink to clean, and which serves a dual purpose. This one works for me, and there's a larger one as well (yeah, we have both, but the large one stays in the oven; it's friggin' heavy).
Baking Steel Mini Griddle If you see one of these in a second hand store, grab it.
One of the reviews (Jesse H.) shows it being used in an APO.

In the Anova Precision Oven Community I asked about using Alexa with the oven - here is the response:
What can you do with it?
Here are the voice prompts you can do with your Anova Oven and the Anova Oven Skill.
Say "Alexa, " followed by:
Preheat/Cook style command
- Preheat my oven to 350 degrees.
- Set my oven to Sous Vide at 125 degrees.
- Set my oven to Bake at 325 degrees.
- Bake my cookies at 350 degrees in my oven.
- Set my oven to Sous Vide mode at 125 degrees.
- Air fry my vegetables at 400 degrees in my oven.
- Set my oven to dehydrate at 140 degrees.
Modes
- Turn my oven off.
- Set my oven to Sous Vide mode. [Alexa will prompt for a temp]
- Set my oven to Proof. [Will set to Sous Vide mode, 100% at 85F]
- Set my oven to Steam. [Will set to Sous Vide mode, 100% at 212F]
- Set my oven to Convection Steam. [Will set to Sous Vide mode, 100% at 212F]
- Set my oven to Bake. [Will set to 350F 0% steam.]
- Set my oven to Convection Bake. [Will set to 350F 0% steam.]
- Set my oven to Broil. [Will set to 450F 0% steam. Top Element]
- Set my oven to Dehydrate. [Will set to 137F 0% steam. Bottom Element]
Food Probe / Cook to Core
- Sous Vide my chicken to 145 degrees in my oven.
- Bake my pork to 165 degrees in my oven.
Cook with a Timer
- Sous Vide my fish in my oven at 125 degrees for 30 minutes.
- Bake my cookies in my oven at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
Questions You Can Ask
- What is my oven’s temperature? (Oven must be cooking)
- What is the temperature of the food in my oven? (Needs the food probe inserted)
Notes
- The responses Alexa gives are controlled by Amazon. We can’t edit or change these.
- If you try cooking with the door open, the skill detects this, and prevents you from starting the cook until the door is closed.
- If you try cooking to core with a food probe, but the probe isn’t connected, the skill will ask you to connect the probe.
- For these last two notes above please note: There is a current PVT Firmware bug that prevents quick detection of the door closing/opening or probe being inserted/removed. This is known with a fix being worked. Currently it can take up to 5 minutes to detect these event. Or, if you open the app and then try the command again, this forces the oven to update state.
Obviously the commands only give partial control over the oven, but it might be handy for some

I didn't realize there was one drumsticks specifically the one I was referring to was:
https://oven.anovaculinary.com/recipe/wttK3xUw6HH3zPw5XOzL
I chose the more "traditional" target temp of 155F and was quite pleased with the result - comments weren't too supportive of the lower target (each to his own) - the recipe is a winner, but cleanup is not.

Check out the Roast Chicken 101 recipe - works really well, except...
One issue on the finish - grease, oil splatter & smoke in oven and kitchen
Go ahead if you have lots of Easy Off on hand.
