How to Cook with an Air Fryer

With 75 quick, easy, delicious recipes, you can get the most out of your air fryer and learn how to utilize it for other purposes than frying.

Without really deep frying, air fryers claim to provide crisp, fried food.

Do you think it's too good to be true? What else except French fries can you cook in them? Actually, air fryers cook food by saturating it with hot air that has been cycled. If you have the appropriate recipe, the approach is quick, practical, and sometimes unexpectedly tasty. With a uniformly crisp top and a creamy inside, we fried more than 70 pounds of potatoes to produce the ideal air fryer French fry. However, what grabbed us to this gadget was the range of foods you can create in it quickly and easily without using a lot of pots and pans.

You'll produce evenly cooked steaks, such as Spice-Rubbed Steak with Snap Pea and Cucumber Salad (the spice rub gives them a bold crust), Sweet and Smoky Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Butternut Squash (the pork cooks directly on top of the squash to save time), and Tandoori Chicken Thighs, in addition to crispy fried chicken and french fries. For a full supper, several of the recipes provide both a main dish and a side dish. Most dishes only need 45 minutes or less to prepare and all provide comprehensive nutritional information.
