Title: I finally got an Air Fryer
Post by: berthabutt on January 30, 2022, 09:46:32 pm

Had it about a week and really enjoying it.  It's a 3 quart Farberware model, with a decent basket size.  Not the fanciest, but I got it on sale for $39, marked down from $59 at Walmart.com.  What do ya'll like to cook in the Air Fryer?

First congrats on buying an air fryer. I love to cook chicken with mine and home made doughnuts. I love it so many things you can cook with them

I tried some pizza rolls in the air fryer but they were a bit to crisp.  Prefer them kind of soft from the microwave.  Otherwise I like crispy food.

My brother got me one last year and I started using it a few months ago.  I love it.  I haven't used it as often now.  I used it Saturday following a recipe for fried zucchini and it didn't work at all but I like made chicken legs with different spices and it was really good.

I have heard a lot of good things about the air fryer - haven't gotten one myself yet.

Anything and EVERYthing! Congrats and good luck!


Find yourself a good air fryer recipe book and just start experimenting. I don't use it as much as my wife, but the things she has made in it have been tremendous. Cod fish, stromboli, breaded chicken... too many things for me to even remember them all. And it is excellent for reheating things like leftover pizza or french fries. You know how a microwave will make it too chewy or disgusting? Reheated in the air fryer after spending the night in the fridge = it taste like it is fresh and crispy right out of the oven!

You got a really good deal. I got one a year ago for my parents from Target which was $60, no sale. My parents like it so far. Makes everything delicious.

I have an air fryer and have had it for about 2 years.  I haven't tried out a lot of things yet, but want to try new things in the air fryer.
