Air fryer basic cook book needed

I bought two air fryer cookbooks and never found them useful.
Instead I joined a Facebook group for Ninja airfryers it gives hints and tips and recipes from members. I found it very useful especially for temperature and timing of recipes compared to a conventional oven.

Oh there was a brand new one in our charity shop- you could try a charity shop.

If you're after a proper cookery book (not just just recipes), you're not alone I had the same issue when I got my husband an air fryer. For now, I found some great tips on inairfryer.uk for the recipe of Chicken Crown https://inairfryer.co.uk/chicken-crown-in-air-fryer/ the site has practical info, timings, and simple guidance that actually works. I used their method as a base to make belly pork slices, just seasoned and air-fried at 190°C for around 18 mins. Super crispy!

Weird, Scribbles! Maybe it is to do with it being supposed to be magnetic, which I feel sure mine isn't!

It arrived with a stick-on magnetic patch so there's the option to keep it handy on the side of the fridge or similar.

I need a list of basic times, temperatures and any tips. I don't need fancy recipes needing ingredients I don’t have.
For oven baking I still resort to a book which is about 60 years old for quantities, timings and temperatures.

Maybe this would be all you need.

Thanks for that. I saw it on Facebook and planned to buy it but couldn’t find the advert!

For some reason, it chose to post without the photos....

I'm quite new to air frying and having trouble with timings so the recommendation from Shysal sounded like just what I need. It arrived today and I'm a little bemused by the second instruction on the back of the packaging!

I need one too .
Thank you Kate1949 .

Glad your belly pork turned out well. I have an indexed notebook to record successful timings and temperatures, as I can't always remember.

Thank you everyone. I used the recipe for belly pork from Minimoon. It turned out well with a bit of tinkering.

I had considered buying a Ninja everything but decided on a converter microwave instead as I have an old fashioned pressure cooker ( just in case the electricity goes off).

I think I’ll put together printed air fryer recipes that work from the internet.

Thank you all for your suggestions.

NonnaW. Ours is a Ninja 9-in-1 with pressure cooker. We use the pressure cooker a lot but also use the air fryer function most days. My husband bakes soda bread using the bake function. We haven't had our oven on since Christmas.

Kate1949 I bought that book and never used it. Problem was, it seems aimed at the air fryers with drawers, whereas I want OTT and bought a Ninja 9-in-1, way too complicated for our needs. I only use the pressure cooker element!

I like photos in my recipe books, but found so many for air fryers had none. This British one from Amazon has been useful, but I do tend to look on line when wanting to cook a particular item.

A bit better

Sorry that's not a great picture!

This is ours. It's quite good.

Thanks Minimoon, I’ll certainly look as it sounds just what I’d like right now.

Eirlys - I’m so glad I’m not alone in this. I’ll have to start printing recipes as well.

Yes, I'd welcome one also. I print off basic recipes with time and temperatures because of the dearth of such a book. I bought the "Bored of Lunch" (Nathan Anthony) cook book and haven't used it once even though it is supposed to be one of the best Air Fryer recipe books around.

I would LOVE an Air Fryer cookery book similar to Marie. T. Smith's "Microwave Cooking for One"!

Posted too soon. Meant to say it's just a recipe for belly pork. I don't have a recommendation for a cookery book. I just trawl the Internet for recipes.
