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.

I do Celtic, fantasy, folk and shanty singing at Renaissance faires, fantasy festivals, pirate campouts, and other events in OR and WA, USA.

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 choose...to be the best me I can be, to be the strongest me I can be, to learn the most I can. I don't know what comes next. But I'm gonna go into it balls to the walls, flames in my hair, and full speed ahead.

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:

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.

Brace yourself while corporate america tries to sell us its things. Some day they will chill and use tiny ads.
