You’ve got an air fryer for Christmas: welcome to the club!
But what should you cook first?
There’s no point in walking before you might run.
The best part of air frying bacon?
You don’t need any oil at all, the natural fat of the bacon is enough.
If there’s no bacon setting, cook the bacon for five minutes at 200C/392F.
Fries are another staple of any air fryer owner - whether frozen or fresh.
I find Maris Piper potatoes are best for making fries.
Give them an occasional shake to double-check they’re cooking evenly.
Grilled sandwich/toastie
Want a quick lunch?
Then, cook your toastie for 10 minutes at 190C/374F.
Roast potatoes
Who doesn’t love a roast potato?
They’re a staple of roast dinners and perfect for cooking in an air fryer.
Rosemary and a pinch of salt is an undeniable classic, though.
The result is moist meat, with crispy, tasty skin.
Roast beef
We’ve mastered the chicken, now it’s time for the roast beef.
I findCosori’s air fryer roast beefrecipe is a hit in our house.
The finished product has a more American than British feel to it.
I suggest the best vegetables to try first are carrots.
Like the fries, though, they may take some trial and error to get right.
Steak
You might be thinking: you might’t make a steak in an air fryer.
