I found an air fryer that I liked the price of so I bought an air fryer and parchment liners.  It will be here in about a week.

I got the bucket style airfryer.

I am hoping this is a solution to cooking bacon on the George Foreman Grill.  The emptying of the grease is beyond my control.  Dear hubby said he would do this for me though it isn't happening.

What do you like to cook in your airfryer?

Any tips or suggestions?

We haven't tried that.  We cook frozen things, as sometimes we succumb to them, French fries etc.  More often though we use it to reheat things, like pizza the next day.

FYI, the air fryer came yesterday so I cooked bacon in it this morning.

Perfectly cooked bacon in three minutes.

Easy cleanup...  just what I was looking for.

When I'm in a pinch, the air fryer makes quick work of developing a side dish for a meal.

I tend to cook some form of potato in my air fryer be it french fries or home fries. I make a lot of use of the included basket for my air fryer but there is a wire rack and tray that I haven't utilized as frequently.

Just finished making my air fryer egg rolls.  They're really good; my son has some issue with textures buts wants to eat more vegetables for health reasons.  He loves them.  I can post the recipe and tips if anyone is interested.

i make any and all veggies. Roasted or chips (beets are great).
Sometimes I'll have a Turkish or Chinese recipe where you need to deep fry potatoes or eggplant before adding it back to stew in a sauce, the air fryer will fry these things perfectly, you would never know they weren't deep fried.

Quiches are also good, as well as small-batch baking (muffins, cakes, etc). There are lots of good recipes online for air fryer baking.

The best, hands down, is chicken wings. And I didn't even like to eat wings before I started with the air fryer. Now we have wings (usually Korean style) at least once a week, because it's ridiculously easy, the texture is fabulous.

I love egg rolls.  Do you make your own dough?

If so I would love to see the recipe.

I have not tried to make my own yet because I haven't found a recipe yet that has good reviews.

For pete's sake, I wrote a whole reply to you a couple days ago and forgot to post it!
I am going to take on one of these batters today and let you know what works out.  I'll also post my egg roll filling "recipe", although I'm not sure it's an actual recipe,
