Best non airfry uses of your air fryer?

[Anonymous]

I haven't used mine yet (it was a gift) but my friend swears by crisping up any leftovers or takeout that is supposed to be crispy but got soggy d/t condensation. Like buffalo wings, which don't travel or store well, but even non-fried things that are supposed to be crispy, like the crisp edges on pan-fried, baked/roasted or similar foods.

Amazing for vegetables, though I suggest par-cooking most to ensure they're cooked in the middle so as to allow for perfect crunchiness outside before burning. Definitely our go-to for anything we would roast in the oven: broccoli, cauliflower, brussels, potatoes, carrots...

Second the suggestion for salmon, and for heating/crisping leftover pizza.

How do you par cook the veggies? Thanks!

Reheating leftover burritos - put in foil, sooo much better than microwave.

Not pp, but steam or boil until almost done and then pay dry

Breakfast burritos, reheating pizza, baked potatoes (5 mins in microwave then airfry 10 mins), roasting garlic, potato wedges, onion bhajis/vegetable pakora, crisping bacon. And probably more things that I can't think of now.

It is my toaster—one less appliance on the counter. I also love it for roasted cauliflower or broccoli, or sweet potatoes. And for reheating leftovers that need to be crispy: fried anything or pizza mainly.

Question: How is an air fryer different from a small convection oven?

Smaller space, consistently higher temp.
So you’re larger oven can run at lower temps and the air isn’t moving as much around the food b/c of the space

Is this the Ninja with the pressure cooker?

I do the salmon once per week in the air fryer so easy. Rub the salmon in whatever spices you like (i use old bay!) and preheat the air fryer to 400. Once it hits 400, put the salmon in for 8 - 10 minutes. Crispy on the outside, perfect on the inside.
