Cooking with an air fryer may seem daunting at first, but it is actually incredibly easy! Not only does it make tasty fried foods without all of the oil; it can also cook everything from breakfast to dessert in almost no time. Air-fried food comes out tasting amazing because the air fryer technology adds an extra crispness that you used to only be able to get with a deep fryer.

In this chapter, you will learn the basics of cooking with an air fryer, how to choose an air fryer, and how to learn to use your particular model. You will also get practical tips on saving money on groceries along with how the cost of each recipe is calculated.

An air fryer is a great alternative to deep-frying food. It is a healthier option, and foods come out crispier than they would in the microwave or even in the oven. Air fryers not only make traditional deep-fried food, but they can also cook chicken and steak, fry vegetables to a perfect crisp, serve up breakfast items such as bacon, and make lots of fun desserts like cookies and hand pies.

Air fryers also dont heat up your kitchen the way a traditional oven does. They are a great way to cook in the summer without adding extra heat to your home. Air fryers also tend to cook things quite quickly. Many recipes take 30 minutes or less to cook, and several take 10 minutes or less to cook. In addition, air fryers take up very little space in your kitchen compared to other appliances and can even be taken with you to parties, to potlucks, and on vacations.

There are two different types of air fryers (and many, many different brands). The two main types of air fryers are basket-style and oven-style. Either is a great option, and which you choose depends on your personal preferences. Also, either kind of air fryer can be used when making the recipes in this cookbook.

• Basket-style air fryers take up less space on your counter and can be easier to clean.
• Oven-style air fryers tend to have extra options, like rotisserie, but are more difficult to clean. Oven-style air fryers also hold more food, making it less likely that you will need to cook recipes in batches, as you may need to with a basket-style air fryer.

Another thing to look for when purchasing an air fryer is the capacity inside the air fryer. You should look for one that is at least 5 quarts. Even if you are cooking for only one or two people, you will run into times when you will want enough room to cook more than one serving, and the extra food may not fit inside a smaller air fryer.

Many air fryers offer additional capabilities. Some can also work as dehydrators, roasters, and rotisseries. Make a list of the capabilities you want before shopping for an air fryer so you can ensure you get the one with all of the bells and whistles you wish for.

You dont need a lot of accessories for your air fryer, but there are a few mentioned in this book that you may want to purchase:

• Small cake pan: This pan is used for cakes, quiches, and casseroles. The cake pan used in this cookbook is a 7" cake pan. Make sure the pan you get fits inside of your selected air fryer.
• Silicone egg mold: This is perfect for eggs and muffins.
• Small Bundt pan: Bundt pans make recipes look pretty and are great for making pull-apart recipes like pizza bread and monkey bread.

When removing accessories and food from an air fryer, you should treat them as if you were using an oven. Everything inside the air fryer gets very hot and will burn you if you are not careful. Make sure to take extra precautions by always using oven mitts when removing food and accessories from your air fryer. Tongs are also a great tool to have on hand for flipping foods over and removing them from your air fryer.

As there are many different variations of air fryers, there are cook time variations too. Whenever youre trying a new recipe, keep an eye on your food, as it may need to be taken out of the air fryer a couple of minutes early or air fried for a couple of extra minutes. This is normal. As you get used to your air fryer, you will learn how quickly it cooks. It also helps to add a note in the cookbook if you ended up needing to change the air fry time.

All of the recipes in this cookbook require the air fryer to be preheated prior to cooking. This offers a consistency and helps keep the cooking times accurate. Refer to your air fryer owners manual on directions for preheating your air fryer.

In this cookbook, you will see that only olive oil spray is recommended to spray inside your air fryer. Standard nonstick sprays contain additional chemicals that can wear down the coating in your air fryer. Make sure to read the ingredients when purchasing the olive oil spray to ensure it contains only oil.
