[Ultimate Air Fryer Perfection cover]( Use your air fryer any time of day from hearty breakfasts to hands-off dinners
Dear friend,
When air fryers first appeared on the market, offering a bold promise of delicious food achieved using very little oil, Iâll admit I was skeptical. In my line of work Iâve seen a lot of ânext best thingâ kitchen appliances come and go. But our test cooksâ research into these machinesâwhich are actually small convection ovensâproved just how useful they are. When we published Air Fryer Perfection nearly five years ago, it took off like a shot. People were hungry for recipes that worked in any air fryer and for kitchen-tested techniques that made air-fried food even better. [Image of shrimp bake in air fryer]( Reasons to Love an Air Fryer - Less-fat frying
- Set it and (almost) forget it
- Minimal mess
- Itâs fast
- Easy meals for kids Since then, the number of machines on the market has multiplied. Air fryers are available in larger sizes and come in a variety of designs (drawer-style, flip-top, ovens and toaster ovens; Instant Pot even has a lid that turns its multicooker into an air fryer). We again invested the time and money to rigorously test them all. Weâve also continued to develop air fryer recipes, including breakfast options and small-batch baking recipes (New York Cheesecake? Yes!) that work in any air fryer. It was time to update and expand our original book, with recipes, product reviews, and even more innovative techniques and tips.

Overcooked.
Just right.
As our Reviews team tested air fryers, we discovered that the manufacturersâ suggested cooking times and temperatures often produced soggy, unsatisfying results. Over months of work developing our air-fryer recipes, our test cooks took those findings and discovered key techniques that transform results from just OK to truly great. These tricks, all now captured in [Ultimate Air Fryer Perfection]( produce crispy fries, juicy chicken wings, and even make-ahead recipes (Breakfast Burritos! Better-than-Boxed Fish Sticks! Chocolate Chip Cookies!) that your air fryer will reheat perfectly, directly from the freezer. Start your day the air-fryer way
When there’s not a minute to spare in your mornings, think . . . air fryer! From make-ahead marvels (like that breakfast burrito mentioned above) to fresh baked eggs, these recipes make air frying an all-day meal prep problem solver. [Baked Eggs with Spinach, Artichoke, and Feta]( Baked Eggs with Spinach, Artichoke, and Feta
Your air fryer will cook refrigerated or frozen vegetables in no time so you can enjoy a hearty, healthy breakfast every day of the week. Save time in the morning by arranging the vegetables in a dish the night before, then just crack an egg into the dish before popping it into the air fryer. [Roasted Fruit and Almond Butter Toast]( Roasted Fruit and Almond Butter Toast
Why make toast in an air fryer? Because turning on that one appliance quickly gives you not only toasty bread but also melted almond or peanut butter and roasted fruit all in a single step.

Our well-orchestrated recipes will yield a main and side cooked together with clever stacking techniques or use the minimal downtime while food cooks to whip up a tasty salad or a complimentary noodle dish. [Roasted Salmon Fillets]( Roasted Salmon Fillets
For salmon with a moist, flaky interior and beautifully bronzed exterior, let the air fryer do the work. With its controlled temperature and auto shut off feature, there's no risk of overcooking. Cleanup is easy, too. Place the fillet skin side down on a foil sling and just remove the sling and fish when finished cooking. [Lemon-Thyme Pork Tenderloin with Green Beans and Hazelnuts]( Lemon-Thyme Pork Tenderloin with Green Beans and Hazelnuts
You can easily fit a tenderloin in the air fryer by cutting it in half crosswise and you'll layer the roast on top of the beans for cooking. A concentrated paste of pantry ingredients flavors the roast and helps it brown. Do I need to preheat the air fryer?
Our recipes donât require preheating. An air fryer heats much faster than an oven. We found that the total time it took to cook food started in a cold air fryer was the same as when we waited a few minutes for the air fryer to heat and then added our food; plus, skipping the preheating was convenient. Crispy, Crunchy, Easy Chicken
Less fat, less mess, less fuss: If you said frying chicken has evolved, youâd be right. The process becomes almost effortless thanks to the air fryerâs controlled temperature and timer. Thereâs no splattering oil and the device can mostly be left alone. [Air-Fried Chicken]( Air-Fried Chicken
The secret to a crispy, golden-brown crust on the outside and moist, juicy chicken on the inside? Removing the chickenâs fatty skin, dredging the chicken breast in flour and buttermilk, and coating it with crushed cornflakes spiced with poultry seasoning. [Red Curry Chicken Kebabs with Peanut Dipping Sauce]( Red Curry Chicken Kebabs with Peanut Dipping Sauce
Make perfectly tender, evenly cooked âair-grilledâ chicken kebabs by stacking the kebabs âLincoln Logsâ-style in a crosshatch pattern. The Southeast Asian-inspired sauce does double duty as both a marinade and as a dipping sauce. How do I prevent food from sticking to my air fryer?
The key to preventing foods such as breaded chicken or delicate fish from sticking? Spraying the air fryer basket, or the foil sling lining the basket, with oil. To better control the amount of oil you use, we recommend a refillable oil mister. An oil misterâs added benefit: You get to choose what kind of oil you use.

[Inside pages of the book]( Which air fryer should you buy?
Since we published our first air fryer book the market has expanded to include various styles from drawer-style to oven style and even air-fryer toaster ovens. We put all the models through their paces by cooking mounds of vegetables, thousands of french fries, and 50 pounds of chicken. All the air fryers cooked food well but usability was a different story. Some required more attention during cooking or had limited cooking space, while others allowed us to better layer ingredients. Some had analog dials for setting temperatures, but we inadvertently changed the heat setting when we opened or moved the unit. Digital dials and displays were best. Here is one of our [highly recommended]( options. Reveal our winner and the full ratings for other models we tested in [Ultimate Air Fryer Perfection](. [Highly Recommended.

Our tips and tricks will have big effects on the overall flavor and texture of your food. Start here and find dozens more throughout [Ultimate Air Fryer Perfection](.
Avoid overfilling
Air fryers work by circulating hot air around food, but if the food is packed too tightly, the air will not circulate properly and the food will steam instead of crisp and will cook unevenly. We took a âjigsaw puzzleâ approach to fitting foods, cutting larger proteins in half and skewering smaller pieces to make it easier to arrange more food in the basket without overcrowding.
Add a rub
Steaks and chops emerged wonderfully juicy and evenly cooked, but their surfaces sometimes needed a flavor boost. In many cases we added a potent spice rub, which gave the meat better overall color as well as incredible flavor.
Dial back the temperature
We like air fryers for their intense blast of heat, but some foods, such as fish, require lower temperatures and longer times to cook through. This cooks the food more gently and can also give the crust more time to brown.
