We finally got one and we really like it.
Any recipes, suggestions?

(32,820 posts)wanted me to try his new one. I made bacon, chicken legs, and French fries and then I gave it back to him. Hated it. I prefer the way I have cooked my whole life. All 3 items were not anywhere near what I am used to. Just my 2 cents worth.

(12,743 posts)Makes wonderful steaks, burgers, pork chops, etc in less than 10 minutes. I’ve done roasted potatoes and kielbasa as well. But I don’t consider it frying at all, and when I’ve tried doing French fries they didn’t turn out.

(9,082 posts)fried zucchini, chicken all sorts of ways, personal favorite, chop chicken breasts in chunks, bathe in egg wash, roll in panko with seasoning. cheese toasty, reheat leftovers without rubbery microwave texture, potato, beet and sweet potato mixture, salmon.......
really, anything you can do in your oven but in smaller size without heating up the whole house

(18,659 posts)I can do 12" pizzas in it, crisp up some very thinly sliced onions, roasted red peppers.
We use it as a toaster and a baking oven for smaller dishes also. We have a double-decker pro-consumer oven with huge racks which takes about 20 minutes to pre-heat and another 20 minutes to cool down - a huge waste of energy.
Toasted chickpeas are great as would be any vegetable that you can spread out on the air-fryer rack. I would expect things like shrimp or scallops would be very nice.

(7,694 posts)and I use it every day. french-fries, onion rings, homemade pizza, broccoli and many other vegetables, steak, chicken, salmon, Cornish hens, pork chops, beef brisket, etc., etc., etc.
I subscribe to Air Fryer Fanatics and get new recipes in my email every day. Every person I know who has an air fryer loves them.
I think people who complain about them, don't know how to use an air fryer properly. If you want more info just DM me.

(9,816 posts)Mostly use it for basic things - frozen potatoes, hot dogs. Reheat pizza and other leftovers, way better than microwave. Excellent baked potatoes when you don’t want to use your oven, about 45 minutes, great crispy skin. Made a burger once, tasted great but made an unholy mess. I’ll try again with leaner meat.

(1,037 posts)I love it because I can have a decent meal in under 30 minutes. Roasted potatoes with chorizo is an easy fix. Spend a couple of minutes googling recipes. The options are amazing.
