Air Fryer

Joanne12 — Sun, 13 Mar 2016 14:11:18 GMT

I've been thinking of getting a air fryer. My favorite dish to make is eggplant parm,but I hate using all that oil. Has anyone tried this? and if so, how did it come out?

I bought the TSV for my mother. She loves it. I've only seen good reviews on it.

I don't have a use for one. If it takes off in popularity, I imagine that Ninja/Shark guy will put out an improved design.

If you use like a breadcrumb type breading and just spritz it with a little bit of olive oil I think you'd be really pleased.

That's what I do. I bought a spray can of olive oil & a spray can of coconut oil that is just the oil with no propellants.

@Nightowlz .... Hi .... I have never used coconut oil & want to give it a try ....this might sound dumb but, does it leave a coconut taste to the food? THANKS!!!!

Hi January, I did not notice a coconut flavor. I bought this at the Wal-Mart Market.

Saw David;s show today about the Air Fryer and need to know where I can get the pan that was used to make the bicut or muffins in. It was a roundpan.

You can use any pan that you can use in your conventional oven-there's no magic. Wal-Mart or Target should have what you want.

@iasilverdale Meredith said you can use any pan that can go into the regular oven in the Air Fryer. No need for special pans.

I bought a set of Toaster oven pans on Wal-Mart a few months ago that was an 8 piece BakerEze non-stick set and all those pans fit in my Ninja 4-in-1. The pans should be small enough for this air fryer.

Personal BakerEze bakeware set includes:
7.7" personal-size pizza pans (2)
8.5" x 6.5" personal-size cookie sheet (1)
8.5"x 6.5" personal-size broiling/cookie sheet (1)
Rack for the cookie sheet (1)
8.5" x 6.5" personal-size baking/roasting pan (1)
8.5" x 6.5" personal-size "Fat Away" baking/broiling pan (1)
Professional heavyweight steel construction ensures even heating
DuraGlide PLUS nonstick finish makes cleanup a cinch
Steel, nonstick bakeware set fits most toaster ovens
Dishwasher safe

I hope this helps. Check Air Fryer dimensions.

It looks like it will only hold pans up to 7 3/4". Last night they used a round Temptations dish. I'm wondering if an 8" round pan would even fit down in the basket?

Update: On the product page under FAQ's it says you can use up to a 7" pan.

The Air Fryer dimensions state:

Approximate measurements: Fryer 12"L x 14"W x 12"H, weighs 9.9 lbs; Cord 46"L

This may help

Hi Joanne,

I decided its time to take the plunge and get TSV. I am so excited to get it. I am sure Merediths cookbook coming out in the fall for the AF will be great.

MKR NY,

"bought a set of Toaster oven pans on Wal-Mart a few months ago that was an 8 piece BakerEze non-stick set and all those pans fit in my Ninja 4-in-1. The pans should be small enough for this air fryer.

Your information is not correct. A pan will fit in the CE Air Fryer if it is 7" in diameter or smaller. Based on that information, it appears that none of the pans you recommend will fit in the air fryer. My suggestion would be to take the grill rack that comes with the fryer with you to the store. You could use that to measure whether a pan you're considering will fit in the air fryer. Or of course you could take a ruler as well.

They said it takes a 7" pan. There are some listed on Amazon.com.

MKR14 — Sun, 13 Mar 2016 21:41:22 GMT

@Razzy 7 I was looking at the dimensions that must be the total size and not inside where the pan would go. It would be a good thing to bring the rack to the store. They should have offered an up sell item for this. The toaster oven set may work for others in their toaster oven or the Ninja 4-in-1 that we have. Sorry for the mix-up.

I didn't have many things that would go in my Ninja cooker and was thrilled to find the toaster oven set that worked also.

@Joanne12

All of what oil? It uses NONE or a spray of PAM or at most one tablespoon.

There are a couple of information filled lines on this forum about Air Fryers, if interested you might want to read about them.

Kachina624 — Sun, 13 Mar 2016 22:49:58 GMT

@Noel7 I think Joanne 12 is saying her present method of cooking eggplant (fried) uses a lot of oil and she's wondering if she could cook it with less in the air fryer. I bet it would work.

I roast the eggplant in the oven, I like it better that way.

Thanks for the clarification, @Kachina624 !

I agree with you, I think it would work, too, in fact I am sure I've come across recipes for them that way.
