Good Housekeeping Air Fryer Cookbook: 70 Delicious Recipes (Good Food Guaranteed)

Product Information

Many people don't want to hear it, but you must clean your air fryer after every use. Even if you haven't added oil — but especially if you have — the basket, trays and element can collect grease and get gummy, start to smell or, most critically, put the machine at risk of smoking.

Readers can expect nutritional information and recipes designed for vegetarians, vegans, and those following gluten-free diets. With more than 100 recipes to choose from—from easy chocolate brownies to eggplant parmesan—cooking for two using your air fryer will be easier than ever. The air fryer is a kitchen appliance that's become wildly popular in the last few years—and it's no wonder! Essentially, it's a countertop oven that uses a high-powered fan to circulate extra-hot air and produce crispy, juicy fried foods with little to no fat or oil. As you can imagine, this lets you easily try all kinds of air fryer recipes. All you need is a cookbook for some inspiration.Enjoy healthier, delicious versions of all your favorite foods with this introductory air fryer cookbook from Good Housekeeping . Each recipe includes nutritional information, and in addition to indicating specific diet-friendly dishes, there are also icons that call out recipes that can be made in 30 minutes or less and those that are freezer-friendly.

The digital interface is attractive and helpful, but it's somewhat unique (with basic air frying accessed via the "classic cook" menu), so there is a small learning curve compared with most air fryer control panels. The one caveat here is that the misting steam chamber and fancy interface do come with a steeper price tag than some other models. Cooking for two can be a challenge when most recipes cater to four or six, but this cookbook is specifically designed with smaller households in mind. The majority of the recipes require less than 30 minutes, designed to minimize prep and cleanup.So when it came to rounding up our favorite air-fryer cookbooks, we took the task very seriously. Since air-fryer models are constantly being refined and updated, the recipes and cookbooks you use should reflect that. Each of the following cookbooks contain recipes that are not only rigorously tested, but also include plenty of tips on how you can get restaurant-quality results at home. Because we definitely believe you shouldn't have to leave your house to get a hot, fresh donut. With 100 flavorful and authentic recipes for Indian, Korean, Sichuan and more, this cookbook shows how an air fryer can be a way to cook food from many cultures in your own home. Bonus: Most of the dishes require only ten minutes of prep and just ten to twenty minutes of actual cooking time, most of which is hands-off. Air fryer ovens are a bit bigger and can air fry food on multiple shelves, but they require more monitoring and food often needs to be rotated during cooking. Air fryer toaster ovens can perform multiple cooking functions — like toasting, baking, roasting, broiling and sometimes even rotisserie — in addition to air frying.

Praised for being more cost-effective, air fryers not only use less energy when cooking but produce the crispiest and most delicious "fried" foods without the guilt of using oil. The content of this book includes an introduction about air fryers with tips such as not overcrowding your food, begin air-frying your food within minutes of tossing in the oil (I've been letting potatoes, for example, "marinate" in oil and spices for sometimes a half hour), converting a regular recipe into an air fryer recipe (reduce the the temperature by 25F), cleaning your air fryer, etc. We've tested more than 40 air fryers in the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances Lab, including traditional basket-style air fryers, air fryer ovens, air fryer toaster ovens and even several microwaves and multicookers with air fry capabilities. We also cook with them quite regularly in the Lab and at home and have developed countless air fryer recipes.Basket-style air fryers have a pull-out basket and are good for small quantities and foods that are easy to shake, like fries and veggies.
