Cooks Essentials Air Fryer Newbie

It just arrived, any tips on cooking, and nut burning food and making it eatable Smiley Happy I have breaded chicken strips ready to go later today 

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

We use ours almost every day. I would say as a hint, to time it on the short side. You can always put it back in and add  minutes. Great for 1 or 2 hot dogs at 3 or 4 min., frozen food, and especially good for recrisping pizza.

I have another brand from QVC and I would say the same as the other poster.  Time it on the short side and check on it.    I heated up a couple of  small slices of pizza tonight and it is so much better than heating up oven or heating in the microwave.  Without preheating, two small pieces took about 4 minutes or so.    Nice crispy crust.

I love to cook drumsticks/thighs in my air fryer.  I coat the pieces with various spices, no oil, and cook for 25 minutes. It is delicious and tastes just like fried chicken.  Happy cooking!!
