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,

Okay, haven't gotten to making the egg roll wrappers this week, but I did make the egg rolls.  The foundation is cabbage, and add any other vegetables you have on hand.  i usually make these when I've pressure-cooked a cheap hunk of pork or beef until it shreds.  I've also used leftover chicken.  Ground beef would be fine.  
 This time, I diced about 1/4 a cabbage, an onion quartered and sliced, diced some carrots, celery, peppers, mushrooms, and garlic I sautéed the veggies in a little avocado or canola oil, giving a head start to the celery and carrots since they take a little longer to soften.  I try to leave them a little firm.  Add a little low-sodium soy sauce, a little cayenne or red pepper flakes.  They can be left vegetarian, but here is where I tossed in some shredded pork.  
I make sure the meat is an accent since the whole reason I started making these was to encourage my son to eat more vegetables.  (However, one time I made them with shredded beef and my signature cauliflower and potato mash.  Oh, man they were good!
Now, this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OvRFdAmsDM

I lightly spray them with oil, cook in the air fryer for 4 minutes at 400 F/200 C
I meant to post a picture of the egg rolls (almost a dozen), but they were inhaled by the family before I got to it.  Next week, lol.

We did some croissants for breakfast with eggs and Canadian bacon. So puffy and flaky out of the fryer. With frozen doughs, it takes about 35 minutes.

Not exactly "cooking", but another thing I use with the air fryer is to split black walnuts. At 250F for 20 minutes, the hard shells uniformly crack along the seams, making it very easy to halve with a screw driver. Of course the nut meat still can't come out in one piece,  but subsequent cracking is a lot faster when they are halved like this.

I am loving my little mini Yummy air fryer.

Bacon every morning.

Steak in the evenings.

It is great for everything I have tried, fish, tater tots, french fries, etc.

Wow, what a great tip!  I have an abundance of black walnuts available to forage, and in the past I have even tried (unsuccessfully) to run them over with my car trying to split them.  
Unfortunately I have developed an allergy to tree nuts, so more for the squirrels!

whole mushrooms with rough chopped onions, zucchini, squash, bell peppers, with olive oil, salt and pepper.  If you want to convert anyone who hates mushrooms, this is the way to get them hooked.

I've always been a bit daunted by recipes where you have to handle filo dough or thin sheets of delicate pastry.   But this week dove into making egg rolls and am now worried about how easy they are! lol...

We lean vegan with recipes, but the following idea should work for non-vegan as well....also should work in a basket air fryer as well as the toaster-oven style that we have.

Essentially pork-sausage egg rolls:

1.  Fry in a skillet some pork sausage or substitute (I used a chub of Impossible 'Savory' style as the 'Spicy' style is Italian sausage flavored).

2.  Remove sausage from skillet and set aside, add a bit of vegetable oil if needed back to pan and saute some onion and thinly sliced cabbage and carrot.  As it sautes, add some shavings of fresh ginger root to taste.

3.  When the mix is just turning tender, add the sausage back and mix in.  Now add any extras if desired....red pepper flakes, favorite spicings or sauces, etc.

4.  I used Melissa's brand egg roll wrappers, but any other from your grocer should do.  Place one wrapper sheet on a plate or cutting board, add a few tablespoons of beaten egg* and spread over wrapper surface, and follow with a few tablespoons of sausage/veggie mix.  I have a plate with a shallow pool of preferred air-frying oil alongside for next step:  Roll up egg-roll as shown on package, then roll once across the oil plate....then directly to the air-fryer basket.

5. Amazing how quickly these cook:  I set ours for 10 min. at 350F, but usually do not need the entire set-time.  Air fry for 3-4 min., then check each minute after for wrapper browning.  Flip each once during the air frying session.

6.  Be careful to let cool sufficiently when done.....these seem to really hold the heat when finished.

*Single beaten egg is enough for 3-4 egg rolls.  For vegan version, mix a few tablespoons of mung bean flour with ~1/4 cup water to form thin paste.  The sprinkle in chia seed or chia protein powder and stir until you get a bit of thickening.  Finally stir in ~1/2 tsp Himalayan black salt (sulfery/eggy) and touch of onion powder.  Use this mixture instead of egg to coat the wrapper before adding the filling.

Now looking forward to trying this with many other filling combinations and dipping sauces....  Hope this works for others!
