These are the recipes they have shown online. They are all listed on the product page. There are some more recipes there. I will copy & paste those. There are also some recipes on Pinterest. You can also search other brands of air fryers online to see their recipe booklet.

 

Cheddar Melt Burgers
SERVES: 4
TEMPERATURE: 370º F
COOKING TIME: 16 to 20 minutes
Ingredients:
1½ pounds lean ground beef
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Montreal steak seasoning
½ cup store-bought or homemade cheese sauce
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Onion hamburger rolls, toasted


Directions:
1. Pre-heat the air fryer to 370º F.
2. Mix together the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce and Montreal steak seasoning. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a burger, making an indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb. This will help the burger stay flatter when it is cooked.
3. Place the burgers into the air fryer basket. Air-fry for 16 to 20 minutes (depending on how well done you like your burgers), flipping the burgers over half way through the cooking time.
4. Mix the cheese sauce and Cheddar cheese together. (If your cheese sauce is very thick, you can melt it a little in the microwave for 30 seconds.) When there are 4 minutes are left on the timer, spoon ¼ of the cheese mixture on each burger and return the burgers to the air fryer.
5. Serve the burgers on toasted onion rolls.


Four Cheese Mac ‘n’ Cheese
SERVES: 4 to 6
TEMPERATURE: 360º F
COOKING TIME: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
12 ounces dried macaroni pasta
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2½ cups half and half
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Fontina cheese
½ cup shredded Gouda cheese (not smoked)
1/3 cup blue cheese, crumbled
Pinch of nutmeg
Salt and pepper
1 teaspoon butter, melted
¼ cup panko breadcrumbs


Directions:
1. Bring a large stockpot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente – about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2. Heat a medium to large saucepan over medium heat. Add and melt the butter. Add the flour and stir well to coat with butter, cooking for a minute or two. Whisk in the half and half and whisk until smooth. Bring the mixture to a boil and then lower the heat and simmer the sauce until it thickens – about 5 minutes. Remove the half and half mixture from the heat. Mix the Cheddar, Fontina and Gouda cheeses together and set ½ cup of the cheese mixture aside. Add the remaining cheese mixture to the sauce and stir until melted. Add the blue cheese and stir until smooth. Season with pinch of nutmeg, salt and pepper.
3. Add breadcrumbs and the melted butter to the reserved ½ cup cheese. Toss to combine.
4. Pre-heat the air fryer to 360º F.
5. Combine the drained hot pasta and cheese sauce and stir well. Transfer the mixture to a 1½-quart ceramic baking dish. Sprinkle the ½ cup of cheese and the breadcrumbs on top and cover with the aluminum foil.
6. Transfer the dish to the basket of the air fryer, lowering the dish into the basket using a sling made of aluminum foil (fold a piece of aluminum foil into a strip about 2-inches wide by 24-inches long). Fold the ends of the aluminum foil over the top of the dish before returning the basket to the air fryer. Air-fry for 25 minutes, removing the aluminum foil for the last 5 minutes of cooking.
7. Cover with aluminum foil and Air fry for 20 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil cover and air-fry for an additional 5 minutes to toast the breadcrumbs and cheese.


Meatball Grinders
SERVES: 3
TEMPERATURE: 380º F
COOKING TIME: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
½ cup chopped onion
¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ cup fresh chopped parsley
3 long hoagie rolls
Marinara sauce
8 ounces sliced Provolone cheese


Directions:
1. Pre-heat the air fryer to 380º F.
2. Combine the ground beef, onion, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and chopped parsley in a large bowl. Mix everything together with your hands until well combined.
3. Divide and shape the mixture into ten meatballs. Air-fry the meatballs for 10 minutes turning over half way through the cooking time.
4. Slice open the hoagie rolls and spread a little marinara sauce inside. Place two slices of the Provolone cheese over the sauce. Top the cheese with three meatballs per hoagie roll and a little additional sauce. Top with two more slices of Provolone cheese and return the sandwiches to the air fryer, one or two at a time, to melt the cheese and toast the bread.


Mixed Berry Turnovers with Sugar Glaze
SERVES: 4
TEMPERATURE: 350º F
COOKING TIME: 14 minutes
Ingredients:
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
½ cup blueberry pie filling
½ cup raspberries
½ cup blackberries
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 egg, beaten
½ cup sliced almonds
½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon milk, or a little more


Directions:
1. Roll out a sheet of puff pastry to a square that is approximately10-inches by 10-inches. Cut this large square into quarters.
2. Mix the blueberry pie filling, raspberries, blackberries and cinnamon together in a bowl. Spoon ¼ cup of the fruit filling into the center of each puff pastry square. Brush the edges of the pastry square with the egg wash. Fold one corner of the puff pastry over the fruit filling towards the opposite corner, forming a triangle. Seal the two edges of the pastry together with the tip of a fork, making a design with the tines. Brush the top of the turnovers with the egg wash and sprinkle sliced almonds over each one.
3. Pre-heat the air fryer to 350º F.
4. Air-fry two turnovers at a time for 14 minutes, carefully turning them over halfway through the cooking time.
5. While the turnovers are cooking, make the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar and milk together in a small bowl until smooth. Let the glaze sit for a minute so the sugar can absorb the milk. If the consistency is still too thick to drizzle, add a little more milk, a drop at a time, and stir until smooth.
6. Let the cooked turnovers sit for at least 10 minutes. Then drizzle the glaze over each turnover. Serve warm or at room temperature.


Shake and Bake Pork Chops
SERVES: 4
TEMPERATURE: 400º F
COOKING TIME: 6 minutes
Ingredients:
4 boneless, center cut pork chops (½-inch thick)
Salt and pepper
1 egg, beaten
1 cup seasoned coating mix for pork (extra crispy version is best)
Vegetable oil in a spray bottle, can or mister
Directions:
1. Pre-heat the air fryer to 400º F.
2. Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Dip two of the pork chops in the beaten egg and then into the seasoned coating mix. Press the coating mix onto both sides of the pork chops. Spray one side of pork chop with the oil.
3. Spray or brush the inside of the air fryer basket with oil. Place the breaded pork chops into the air fryer basket and air-fry for 6 minutes, flipping the chops over halfway through cooking time. Remove the chops from the air-fryer and either tent them with foil or hold them in a 170º F oven to keep warm.
4. Repeat with the remaining two pork chops and serve.


Zucchini Fries with Roasted Garlic Aioli
SERVES: 4
TEMPERATURE: 400º F
COOKING TIME: 12 minutes
Ingredients:
1 head garlic
Roasted Garlic Aïoli:
1 teaspoon roasted garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup mayonnaise
Juice of ½ lemon
Salt and pepper


For zucchini fries:
½ cup flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
Salt and pepper
1 large zucchini, cut into ½-inch sticks
Olive oil in a spray bottle, can or mister
Directions:
1. Pre-heat the air fryer to 380º F.
2. Slice off the top of the head of garlic to expose the tops of all the cloves, and drizzle olive oil on top. Place the head of garlic, cut side up, into the air fryer and air-fry the garlic for 15 minutes at 380º F. When finished, let the garlic cool a little. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of the head and mash to form a paste. To make the aioli, place 1 teaspoon of the roasted garlic paste in a small bowl and reserve the rest for another use. Add the mayonnaise, olive oil and lemon juice and whisk to combine. Season the aioli with salt and pepper.
3. While the garlic is cooking, prepare the zucchini fries. Create a dredging station with three shallow dishes. Place the flour in the first shallow dish and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Put the beaten eggs in the second shallow dish. In the third shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, salt and pepper. Dredge the zucchini sticks, coating with flour first, then dipping them into the egg to coat, and finally tossing in breadcrumbs. Shake the dish with the breadcrumbs and pat the crumbs onto the zucchini sticks with your hands so they stick evenly.
4. Place the zucchini fries on a flat surface and let them sit at least 10 minutes before frying to let them dry out a little. Pre-heat the air fryer to 400º F.
5. Spray one side of the zucchini sticks with olive oil, and place them into the air-fryer basket. You can air-fry the fries in two layers, placing the second layer in the opposite direction to the first. Air-fry for 12 minutes turning and rotating the
fries halfway through the cooking time. Spray with additional oil when you turn them over.
6. Serve Zucchini fries warm with roasted garlic aioli.

Here are the other recipes on the product page. At least when the product page is gone the recipes will be on the forums. 

 


Buffalo Wings
Serves 2
Ingredients:
2 pounds chicken wings
3 tablespoons butter, melted
¼ cup hot sauce (like Crystal or Frank’s)
Salt, to taste
Finishing Sauce:
3 tablespoons butter, melted
¼ cup hot sauce (like Crystal or Frank’s)


Directions:
1. Prepare the chicken wings by cutting off the wing tips and discarding (or freezing for chicken stock). Then, divide the drumettes from the wingettes or paddles and place both in a bowl or zipper sealable bag.
2. Combine the melted butter and the hot sauce and stir to blend well. Pour this over the chicken wings and let the wings marinate for 2 hours to overnight.
3. Pre-heat the air fryer to 400ºF for 3 minutes.
4. Air-fry the wings for 12 minutes, shaking half way through cooking. When both batches are done, toss them all back into the basket for another 2 minutes to heat through and finish cooking.
5. While the wings are air-frying, combine the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter and ¼ cup of hot sauce. Remove the wings from the air fryer and toss them again in this sauce and serve with some cooling blue cheese dip and celery sticks.

Reuben Egg Rolls
SERVES: 4 to 8
TEMPERATURE: 400º F
COOKING TIME: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
8 egg roll wrappers
16 slices Swiss cheese (about 12 ounces)
12 ounces thinly sliced corned beef
2 cups prepared sauerkraut
1 cup Russian dressing, plus more for dipping
Vegetable oil


Directions:
1. Make the egg rolls. Place an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with one of the points facing towards you so that it looks like a diamond. Place 1 slice of Swiss cheese in the middle of the wrapper, leaving a 1-inch border around the sides. Top with 2 ounces of corned beef. Spread ¼ cup of the sauerkraut over the corned beef and top it with 2 tablespoons of the Russian dressing. Place another slice of Swiss cheese over the sauerkraut.
2. Brush the sides of the egg roll wrapper with water. Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper tightly up over the filling, trying to avoid making any air pockets. Fold the left corner in toward the center and then the right corner toward the center. It should now look like an envelope. Tightly roll the egg roll from the bottom to the top open corner. Press to seal the egg roll together, brushing with a little extra water if need be. Repeat this technique with the remaining ingredients.
3. Pre-heat the air fryer to 400ºF.
4. Brush or spray all sides of the egg rolls with vegetable oil. Air-fry four egg rolls at a time, air-frying for 10 minutes, flipping them over halfway through the cooking time.
5. Serve with additional Russian dressing for dipping.

Spiced Nuts
These make a great snack or nibble for when guests arrive at your house. A bowl of these will disappear in no time, so make several batches and store them in an airtight container.

4. Air-fry for 25 minutes, stirring the nuts in the basket a few times during the cooking process. Taste the nuts (carefully because they will be very hot) to see if they are crunchy and nicely toasted. Air-fry for a few more minutes if necessary. Repeat with remaining nuts.
5. Serve warm or cool to room temperature and store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.

3. Dip and coat each cookie ball in the melted butter and then roll them in the graham cracker crumbs to coat all sides with crumbs. Place the coated cookie balls on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
4. Line the air fryer basket with piece of aluminum foil on the bottom. Place 4 cookies balls in the air fryer on top of the aluminum foil, leaving some space in between the balls to allow the cookies to spread.
5. Air-fry for 10 minutes. Let the cookies cool for 2 minutes and then remove them from the air fryer. Repeat with remaining cookies.

You can get free recipes all over the web: Pinterest has a lot. Over on Recipes, II am pretty sure MFC gave a link for AF recipes from around the world. Be sure to check out the Phillips AF user manual. I don't know for certain, but Deb Murry and Allison Waggoner may have user sites: it really does not matter what brand you have other than capacity

@NC Retired if you are looking for recipes for today's TSV, if you go to that product page and scroll about halfway down (right after where the video is posted) you will see several PDF's including three that have recipes.

 

If you are looking for recipes in general on QVC's from the hosts and vendors, if you type in "recipes" in the Search QVC bar it should take you to where those recipes are displayed.

 

Please let me know if you need anything else regarding this and we'll try and get you where you need to go . . . Smiley Happy
