Could you please have one of the air fryers in yellow. You have so many other colors but not yellow!

One of the reason I buy from shopping channels is the ease of returning.  I've encountered one too many stubborn clerks who make it their life's work to not give me a refund.

I am up in the "air" with Air Fryers.....I have the Todd English 5 something qt, and no matter what recipe time I follow, including the Chicken Fried Chicken from here, it just always comes out over cooked and hard as a brick bat....I just can not get this learning curve down yet, so I am not enjoying the "air fry" boat yet...My boat just keeps sinking...

We have tried stuffed mushrooms, several kinds of wings, frittatas (I bought 6-inch cake pans from the A), pork chops, pizza, "fried" chicken, French fries, hasselback sweet potatoes as well as white potatoes, salmon, my own meatballs (not store-bought), all kinds of foods. I'm using Meredith's Air Fryer book as well as several air fryer websites from Pinterest. Just got a new AF cookbook, The Complete Air Fryer Cookbook (again from the A) and I'm working my way through it.

Those little 6-inch pans are just perfect for a frittata to split between DH and me.

I am having a bit of trouble with a chocolate cake done in the air fryer, but I'll keep working on it. 

We just love our air fryer.

Sounds like your over cooking. I cook salmon filets in mine 5-6 min on 1 side and flip then cook 5-6 on the other. Baste with butter both sides by the way. Not dry or raw. salt and pepper

Hey Forrest!  

I can't make the all on the air fryer cooking, as I have not jumped on that  bandwagon (I have pots and pans), but it sounds like sharke is right that they are over-cooked.

But I wanted to remark on the chicken fried chicken (I love this so much!) - I just put a sliver of butter in a pan on medium heat with a few drops of olive oil (just to keep the flash point up) and once pan is warm, in goes the chicken fried chicken - few minutes on one side, just to brown it (it's already cooked) and few minutse on other side.  Small pinch of kosher salt & little freshly ground pepper on just one side.  Done and done.  I thaw them out first, of course.  HTH

I have had a CE Air Fryer for over a year now and use it at least twice a week to cook cut-up chicken.  I just roll it in bread crumbs and cook a large breast of chicken for about 25 min on 360 and it comes out perfect.  I do flip it over about half way so both sides brown.  It is delicious.

I thought the air fryers were ridiculous for me since I cook only for myself and can't have French Fries, etc.    When Eric had the TSV a month or two ago, I fell for it.  I am using it 4 or 5 times a week.  Did boneless chicken thighs coated with panko, make open-face grilled cheese, burgers, steak, lamb chop and best of all baked potato without heating up large oven.      Going to try a mix of 3 or 4 vegetables tonight with just a little olive oil and seasonings.  This is the first time I'm using any oil.
