Air fryers - what do you cook in it ?

I don’t have an air fryer. I have yet to be converted! When I was looking for a book in WH Smith yesterday I saw some air fryer recipe books. They could be helpful and there might be some in the library. I’m sure there will also be some good websites.

I've got a small one but don't use it much except for potatoes and veg sometimes. I like my omelette maker and my toaster better. Yes an air fryer is reasonably fast but somehow I just don't get excited about it. Reading the comments though it's making me feel I ought to give it a go again. As we now have 4 people in our household for a while I think I've not got as much space in it at the moment - but I will give it a whirl again.

An air fryer is just an oven which is small.
You have to adapt time and temperature just as you learned to use a conventional oven when you first start cooking.
Some have multiple functions, mine is basic and I use it for almost everything I would use my big oven for.

BlueBelle - how do you make toast in it? I tried that and the bread just went hard, it didn't brown on the top. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong.

I use mine for everything in fact I ve never used my oven since the day I bought it two years ago
I m not much of a cook but I ve made simples scones and cheese straws in it I m a vegi so lots of vegis go in I do my breakfast toast in it ( no need for a toaster ) jacket potatoes, pizzas, chips, sweet potato chips pies ( I don’t make them not interested enough in cooking ) if I was a meat eater I d probably use a slow cook for that
Mine is a basic cheap air fryer but does me and is used every day

The short thread is under Food.

There is a very short thread about air fryers which I commented on. We have a Ninja air fryer which is also a pressure cooker. We have made soups, stews, boiled eggs (you need the pressure cooker for those three items). In the air fryer we have made bread, scones, shepherd's pie, cooked bacon, sausages, toasties etc. Anything you can cook in an oven you can cook in an air fryer.
