more success with new airfryer

Been using my airfryer almost exclusively lately---been some very good outcomes too--last night was a pork tenderloin that I put in a mustard marinade. Was pretty moist and nice browning however--no taste from the mariande at all. I usually vacuum seal marinate my meats and will do that next time. Put some fingerling spuds in and they were outstanding as are the turkey breasts--- My steaks are really good. Baked spuds too. Over did the pork chops thro--but the frozen fries----sweet and russet --are wonderful--the fresh ones--not so much, burgers are good too. Been fun! but need to adjust the timing of  the recipes I am finding--either too much or not enough, but that will come.

Salmon cooks really well as does most veggies.We use ours to reheat foods that you want to remain crisp too.

I use mine to make hard boiled eggs and fresh cut homemade French fries and great chicken with the skin on.

 

I make other things too, but those foods are my favorite in the fryer.

@dex 

That's the one I have.  LOL.  I like mine but not for use all the time.  I cook lots of stuff in the oven but I am beginning to like the air fryer more than originally.

HOW DID I NOT KNOW INSTANT POT MAKES AN AIR FRYER?????

 

Oh goodness thank you for highlighting this as now I must investigate as I love my Instant Pot so I would imagine their air fryer is exceptional as well.

 

Thank you again and Happy New Year to all!

Re: more success with new airfryer

@Daysdee   Preheat airfryer to 250 degrees.

 

Place cold eggs in the air fryer and cook for  for 16 minutes.

 

Plunge in cold water for around 10 minutes to cool them down and peel.

 

I do this a lot when I only need a few eggs.
