Tips For Air Frying from Debra Murray

If you have a new air fryer you will love how crispy and delicious the food comes out whether your favorite recipes or you use any of the delicious pre frozen foods available in the grocery freezer section.

The cooking times and temperatures on the package will work the same in the air fryer, you just do not need to preheat.
The air fryer is basically a compact convection oven with rapid hot air that circulates around your food. There is no need to add oil to the air fryer.

Some air fried food will brown better if spritzed with oil before air frying, but do not add oil to the fryer, only on to the food before putting in the fryer.

If you want to steam roast which gives you awesome crispy browning on the outside, the liquid helps to keep the food moist and juicy, add 1 cup of water, wine or stock to the air fryer.

Not to come up over the basket. Seafood, roasts, some vegetables are brilliant that way. But it will not benefit air frying, only roasting or baking.

Here is a chart to use as a guideline. Remember some food manufacturers will differ slightly.

No. I got it on Facebook. She used to be with HSN & now with Evine. She said So many of my cooking friends are loving air frying I decided to create an even better air fry chart. Perfect for Phillips air fryer, Cook's Companion, Todd English Fryer. I hope you all enjoy!!

Thanks for the list OP. I was on and off the fence so many times yesterday with this air fryer. I did order it in the end and then almost cancelled it this morning. I hope I have not wasted over $100 on something that is going to sit on shelf in my cupboard.

Has anyone air fried frozen corm dogs. My 7 year old granddaughter is coming for a weeks visit during spring break and she loves corm dogs. I would appreciate anyones input. Do you think I should unthaw them slightly so that the dog is heated through?

Thanks

I can't thank you enough for this post. I belong to air fryer groups on Facebook and the most asked question is time and temp please. Most people don't know how to search for this info. When I received my air fryer I searched each and every food I'd eat and made myself a list similar to this and keep it on my refrigerator. I was checking out a recipe book for air fryers and I'm thinking, why doesn't someone put out a book for times and temps, and hence I did a search that found me this site.

I don't need recipes. I know how to cook most foods. Great list. Thanks

Thank you so much for giving us this chart. I have 2 air fryer books and neither of them give cooking times for frozen items. I have just used my new Phillips air fryer for the 1st time --hot wings--and am very grateful for this chart. What are your favorite air fryer books?

Thanks for your help.
