Current Events > Got an AirFryer for Christmas, gimme some recs

(+) Yeah! (+)

Recs of things to cook in it and whatnot. Never had one before. Was definitely thinking of things like fries, frozen nuggets/wings, etc, but what are other things you guys use yours for.

Pro-tip for longer to items. Do the microwave for 80-100% of the time, then throw them in the airfrier to crisp them up

Air fryer diced tofu to make wraps with is awesome

Minor word of caution with using one. Things you cook in it don't work for leftovers. Like if you're immediately going to eat a plate of chicken wings, they're fantastic. If you only want half and feel like you'll nibble on the rest in an hour, they get gross.

Chicken-fried steaks

I got an industrial box of 40 steaks and have been eating 'em over the past month and a half. Haven't quite figured out how to make them perfectly, but 380 degrees for 18 minutes with a flip in the middle works pretty well.

That with some biscuits and gravy sound pretty fire.

Yeah, you gotta make some white gravy for 'em, definitely. I have two steaks left and don't feel like making any more gravy, though, lol.

As far as flour gravy goes.

I could never make the shit right the old school way.

But this has been a big deal for me over the last 15 years.

chop up some broccoli and mix with egg and bread crumb, veggie tots

Mozzy sticks.

does it make it crispy?

honestly know next to nothing about them lol

Lots of great frozen foods you can make with an air fryer

Chicken Strips (my fav brand is foster farms)
Chicken Nuggets
Chicken Sandwich Patties
French Fries/Curly Fries/Tater Tots
Stuffed Potato Skins
Fish fillets/fish sandwich patties
Pizza Rolls/Bagel Bites
Egg Rolls
Pop Tarts

You can even cook raw meat like
Hamburger Patties
Hot Dogs
Sausages
Chicken

I'll give you a dollar if you figure out the fried air recipe.

home made tater tots

I've actually prepared chili in mine a couple times as well as seasoned curry chicken.

Also works great for making your own cheesy bread or ciabatta sandwiches but it's important to use something like toothpicks to keep pieces from sliding due to the air blasts.

depending on the size of yours

whole chickens

Besides the obvious things already mentioned, one thing you might not expect is a grilled cheese. Depending on the type you have you may need a toothpick to keep it from flying apart.

Make some soup.
