Air Fryer Fanatic

I love to cook chicken wings and sausages in my air fryer and of course fries!

For veggies, you can use this as a guide. Start checking about three quarters into the recommend oven time to compensate for better air circulation in the air fryer. I would use a light coat of olive oil on veggies. I don't need oil with fattier meats such as chicken wings.

I buy turkey cheddar wursts and cook them in the air fryer.

I have a small model (Phillips Viva) but I can produce a roast dinner with potatoes for four in it.

Put in a one pound joint of roast beef or a half leg of lamb in the air fryer. Top with potatoes chunks that have been par boiled for 2-5 minutes and shaken with fat (goose fat is great but butter or olive oil are fine) to roughen up the surface for extra crispy potatoes in the drained pan. Air fry on 200C for about 40 minutes giving everything a turn half way through cooking. You will get the most accurate results with respect to done-ness if you use an instant read meat thermometer. I use this site as a guide for internal temperatures.

If you want to roast vegetables as well, I toss some thinly sliced carrots or parsnips in a little olive oil and fit them under the air fryer basket. There is almost an inch of clearance in my model. While the meat and potatoes are cooking you can do a very easy onion gravy.

Rest the roast for 5 minutes before carving so that temperature and juices become evenly distributed throughout the joint. In the meantime you can sautee some spinach with a scant amount of butter.

A pretty easy way to produce a roast dinner for four with all the trimmings in 45 minutes.

I make ribeyes, strip steaks, and ribs in my air fryer. Meat is the only ingredient.

Husband had had some lingering jaw/tooth pain so we haven’t been eating “chewy”!foods but when he’s better I’m excited for steaks in the Air Fryer, any tips?

We love ours!! Our favorite things to do in our air fryer are salmon, chicken wings, chicken thighs, sausages and roasted veggies. It also perfectly reheats pizza. We actually like pizza reheated in the air fryer better than when you get it freshly made. We will sometimes bring home a pizza, let it sit on the counter to cool off and then reheat it in the air fryer.

For a 1 lb frozen steak I recommend 15 minutes at 400 as well. 5 min preheat, 10 minutes on one side, and 5 minutes on the other.

I’m doing a turkey breast in ours for dinner tomorrow.

My favorite air fryer meal, great over brown rice!

Whenever I have leftover mashed potato, I make croquettes which I freeze in trays, transfer to ziplock bags and heat up for 10 minutes at 200C in the air fryer.

My tip for bread crumb coated foods for the air fryer is to use greasy breadcrumbs where you stir a teaspoon or so of olive oil into the breadcrumbs. Much easier than spraying finished product with oil to get a crisp coating when air fried.

Another air fryer tip.

I've damaged the non stick coating on the bottom of my basket by tossing it in the dishwasher where the detergents are too harsh for non stick surfaces. If you are in the same boat, buy some silicon mesh sold for preventing small pieces of food such as shrimp and asparagus from falling between BBQ grates. Cut down to size to line the basket. Nothing sticks to silicon mesh and you can toss it in the dishwasher.

I just go this last week and been experimenting! Made Chicken wings, Sweet potato fries, Lamb, Turbo bread. Love it so far!!
