Anyone have an Air Fryer

[Fat Elvis]

If you have an Air Fryer, how do you like it, and do you have any goo recipes to share?

I have a NuWave cooker and an Instant Pot. Love both of them and use them quite often.

We made Not Knots (basically, fried bread dough that you then put butter and garlic on.)

Came out pretty damn good. In fact, I've not had a problem with anything we air fry, even did my own hot wings (just fried up some wings, then dredged them in the sauce).

It's all good. I will say, frozen fries must be watched, and especially frozen onion rings...they burn quick so keep an eye on them.

Hey all, i had a small air fryer in the past and liked it, but it wasnt big enough to cook for a family of four in. And it sucks making fries, then waiting 25 minutes for wings. Does anyone have experience with a little bigger air fryer? also can you pack the basket to the top when cooking?

I bought two air fryers last year so that I can make fries and chicken nuggets simultaneously for my kids.

I've had terrible luck trying to cook two disparate types of foods in the same air fryer. It's always been a disaster.

Yep I have the ninja foodi grill and a regular air fryer, because it's impossible to make 2 different types of food in a single airfryer at one time

Bought an AF because my sister-in-law raved about hers. Hasn't really lived up to all the hype, imo. I have been using it slightly more due to my diet over the last 5-6 months and air-frying fish or chicken for one is about perfect for that thing, but really I could have done all of that in my convection oven, and cooked multiple items at the same time.

I had one and i guess i was really only under the impression that you could cook fried type stuff with it like nuggets and fries for some reason, ive got a friend now whos a single guy who does steaks, chicken and veggies in it all the time. I'm looking to get another one for that and the simplicity of tossing corn dogs and stuff in for the kids. But it would be really nice to have one that makes enough for everyone when we eat stuff that every one likes.

Any tips for someone who recently got one for XMas? I've used it a few times for mozzarella sticks and once for hashbrowns, but haven't ventured beyond that.

[KChiefs1]

I use it for everything.

French Fries
Chicken patties/fingers/nuggets
Shrimp
Fish
Burritos

Btw, the sams knock off chick-fil-a chicken nuggets are fantastic in it.

I warm up cold onion rings from Sonic in it. Perfect

I've made everything from chicken nuggets, several different types of fries, breaded or plain fish, fish sticks, vegetables, breaded chicken patties, garlic and olive oil red potatoes and so much more. They've all come out excellent and my family really enjoys the results.

I didn't have much luck with either pig bacon or turkey bacon, so I continue to cook those in the oven.

One of the best aspects of the air fryer is reheating food, whether it's leftovers or fries that have become "soggy" due to delivery or pick up. It'll make them as good as new and sometimes even better in less than 5 minutes.
