UPDATED 15 Things You Didn't Know the Air Fryer Could Make → What to Make in Your Air Fryer in 2024

[@khaledn74]

Just greetings across the world, I reside in Dubai and I am a 49 who almost never cooked due to my job that keeps my traveling and my wife a working executive herself don’t have that much time either … but boy I started watching your vids and got myself Cosori Dual Blaze and I cannot stop making good meals and watching you more for better ideas! Thank you Cathy and your lovely family, you are doing a great job! Love from Dubai!

[@empoweredcooks]

Khaled, thank you so much! I am so happy to hear that! Keep up the great work! ❤️ And thanks for taking the time to say something nice on the internet 🤗😉

[@TheQuietRiot]

Also from Dubai. Got my first airfryer yesterday and aced my first ever recipe (chicken wings) and equally important, my first airfryer cleanup all thanks to your incredibly helpful tips

[@CoffeewithKathy]

I’m new to your channel and I just bought my first air fryer at the sweet young age of 70! Going through your videos and learning how to use it! Thank you!

[@empoweredcooks]

Welcome!! I love that you are still trying NEW things at your wise age of 70!

[@evabrechtel4321]

You are going to love it!

[@johngorman2916]

Dame here. First air fryer and trying to figure out what I can do with it. 74yo dude

[@tammylovescats]

Life is so easy with an air fryer. When I bought mine about 2yrs ago I cooked just about everything in it. I do recommend an air fryer and things taste so much better.

[@annacanova7060]

I'm here just to ask myself whether to buy it or not...

[@empoweredcooks]

Here is a buying guide that might be helpful... kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaSvp6SIfLdonZYsi=niOgfXL6vBtu8n1z Tammy knows her stuff too. Ha ha!

[@jdhiv4]

QUESTION: Breville Smart Oven Air [fryer] versus a standalone like yours? Pros & cons?

[@jacquelinebataille8106]

​@@annacanova7060me too. Wondering if it is worth it.

[@SteveBulleit]

I literally just started using a gifted air fryer. The gas is out at my apartment, so a great excuse to start. As a single bachelor, I love the simplicity of how she presents the recipes for tasty meals. Thanks for making my life a little easier! The fried Oreos are amazing too!

[@bikeny]

Oh boy that reheat trick is worth the price of admission. I just did it with some chicken breast and rice I had made other day. And while the air fryer was doing that, I was able to use the microwave to cook (?) the mixed frozen vegetables. I now know I need to add another minute or so to the reheat time, but the process works. I will also have to get the parchment paper bowls, as my cutting the sheet to make a 'bowl' worked, but not as cleanly as a real bowl would have; but the fryer is still way cleaner than if I had not used the paper. A thousand thumbs up!!

[@empoweredcooks]

That's awesome! Way to go!

[@bikeny]

Your video popped up on my feed, which is great timing, as I only bought an air fryer (some Chefman model) a few months ago after I moved into my new house. My initial plan was to use it as a toaster (an idea I got from someone else). Boy, oh boy, what a blessing it's been. I bought a cheat-sheet too and some parchment paper and I've done some steaks and of course my bagels and toast. I've sliced and diced some Italian sausage and chicken breasts and thighs and potatoes. But, this video today, really opened my eyes to the things I can do. I am going to try the 'reheat' function of my food instead of my microwave. One more thing: THANK YOU, THANK YOU, for not playing any music while you are speaking. 'Background' music is not background and it gets in the way of paying attention to the host. So glad you didn't do that. I am now a subscriber.

[@empoweredcooks]

Welcome! Glad you found me! (ps - my older vids DO have music... forgive me! Vids from the last 10 months do not usually have music). 😉

[@arbonneladyTN]

@@empoweredcooksI too dislike the background music! As of today, 4/18, you have a new subscriber. Where are you located? I have not ever seen .co on a website. Great family you have as well. Well done mom! We raised 4 kids, at home & on the road traveling as we taught them. I made sure the kids all learned to cook…and… be creative with food! They all are great cooks and while in college they saved a ton of money eating at their apartments instead of eating out. They also taught other kids HOW to cook! Such an important skill kids are not taught at home! Blessings to you & your’s!

[@Wender-ella]

Awsome! My co workers all claim they have air fyers but never use them. One says it isnt big enoughfor a family of 4, but she has teenagers so why cant they use it. Others say I dont know whatto make in it. I tell everyone to check out your channel for air fyers ideas. You have so many great ideas that I have never though of or tried. I use my air fyer all the time, and so do my kids.

[@gaylewood1372]

My grandkids, ages 13 & 15 use the airfryer all the time especially for after school snacks. Keeps them out of the cookie jar. Good luck!

[@artcreationsbydar]

The air fryer is my best friend! Steak is just amazing! I don’t think I have used my oven since I have gotten my air fryer. I sure appreciate your recipes. :)

[@dottiemayharris]

Ever since I watched your video where you showed us for the first time how to make "hard boiled" eggs in our air fryer, I have done it no other way! It's quick and simple! The eggs cook perfectly and peel so easy!

[@empoweredcooks]

That is awesome!

[@judithandersen2911]

I have a air fryer and have not used it much. After watching your video I plan to go and get some chicken and other things to try some of these great ideas. Thank you so much for sharing them. Have a great day and keep air frying and sharing those ideas

[@TastingParty]

We’ve been making grilled cheese in the air fryer for quite a while & some of our AFs blow the top off the sandwich so suggest placing your wire rack on top

[@irenee8051]

I just bought a Cosori dual blaze and we are loving it. We especially love how fast and easy to use and cook food in it. With our busy schedule, it helps that we can cook yummy food with less prep and time. I have made dinner rolls, cooked bacon, chicken wings, sesame chicken, charsiu pork, vegetables, boiled eggs just to name a few. After watching your youtube, I will be cooking more for sure. Thank you for sharing these delicious recipe. Your kids are great and i’m sure they love being your taste tester 👍🏼. Thank you again and I am your subscriber now. 😊

[@empoweredcooks]

Sounds like you are doing AMAZING! Well done and welcome!

Thanks for the reupload. I personally didn't realize that there were glitches I am happy to rewatch this very informative video. ❤

[@empoweredcooks]

Thank you Pat - you are amazing!!! xoxo

[@Cynthia2v]

I did the baked potato hack for Easter Sunday. Made 3 potatoes in 30 min while I prepped everything else! My husband really loved this! I will do the sheet pan dinner tonite.

[@empoweredcooks]

Woo hoo! How did it turn out?

[@anthonycoppola5613]

I use the hard boiled egg recipe 5 days a week! 270 for 12 Minutes and they are perfect every time! Thank you!!

[@kelceyfirth]

i rely on my air fryer to cook because i live in student accommodation which has no oven, this video was great for inspiration!

[@carynb3112]

Love you videos. I make my salmon in the air fryer all the time, no other way cheese and fish no no

[@Painter931]

I started watching your videos a few years ago. I bought an air fryer the Corsori . I loved it so much it stopped working . I didn't give up I bought another. I now own three different varieties of air fryers. I use each one for different cooking. I have one that toasts, broils, bakes and air fryers all in one. I love them all. I only use air fryers. I haven't used a pan in four years. I also own your cookbook and have tried many recipes and liked them.

[@jakeniemi7565]

Your kids are so blessed to have a mom like you

[@empoweredcooks]

Aw, thanks Jake! Sure appreciate it! I love that you refer to Easter as Resurrection Day too! We had a beautiful day. ❤️

[@sage_forensics_2261]

🧁Try making muffins! You know--the Martha White or other brand mixes that you just add milk, right? I have a smaller Cosori, so I can fit six at a time if I stagger them. Obviously, I have to use cupcake liners (double your liners if they are thin); I would imagine silicone ones would work better though. I cook the muffins for only 10 minutes (no preheating), usually at 360 F. They rise better at 360 than at 350 F. I have to be honest, they don't always turn very "pretty," but they TASTE great! I'm the only one eating them, and it's nice to have something fast that doesn't heat up the apartment--especially in the summer! Again, I think a more rigid mold like the silicone ones would probably yield a better-looking muffin, but that's not what's most important to me. Good luck, y'all! It really is fun learning all the things this one appliance can do! 💜

[@empoweredcooks]

Thanks for sharing! I have always used the silicone muffin liners... I wasn't sure that the paper ones would work without the pan... good to know that they will (doubling if needed). Thank you! :)

[@timepasses3380]

Thank you! Great food ideas, cool to see your kids! They're great sports.

[@arbonneladyTN]

Just bought an Air Fryer… and found this video today. Thanks for the tips!

[@LaraineAnne]

I boiled eggs in my air fryer and they turned out so well I did it again. Result: egg all over my air fryer. I haven’t been game to try it again. But NOTHING cooks bacon like an airfyer. No constant turning and if you get the timing right you are free to concentrate on getting the fried eggs right. That’s our dinner tonight. A million thanks for the other tips..

[@bonniesmith9558]

Have got to try the CROOKIE - I am startng my diet Monday 4/1, but hubby will love this.

[@knmonlinemedia]

lol i started my diet too on the first, that cookie looked good.

[@empoweredcooks]

Way to go Nancy - that Crookie is DANGEROUS! :)

[@venus8296]

I love the air fryer, and it makes so many things easily. I never used frozen broccoli until I tried it in the air fryer. It really does cook it better than steaming or microwaving, and I agree with you about NOT making fresh broccoli in the air fryer. That is a definite fail. Steak comes out great, salmon is perfect (doing air fryer gochujang salmon tonight). The cover recipe from your cookbook is my favorite (although I leave out the gnocchi). It's a perfect vegetable dish. Oh, and the crunchwraps - for cheeseburgers, fried chicken and cheese, taco meat - anything can work. I will confess that i've not had any luck making hard-boiled eggs in it, but with a million other things to cook in it, that's not a big deal. Keep up the fun videos and more uses for this appliance - once I started using it, it's become a necessity, not just a nice thing to have.

[@empoweredcooks]

Ah - I love it! Thank you for your kind words and review! Great idea to leave out the gnocchi on that dish! I have a couple kids that don't care for it... so I will do that next time! Blessings to you!

Bought the XXXL and although it makes no sounds when buttons are pressed I have managed to place tatcile dots where I need them. I look forward to following yol and learning loads.

My husband hates microwaving leftover pizza before the crust gets soggy. He would eat it cold. No more. I'm getting him hooked on reheating in the air fryer. I make biscuits in the air fryer. I don't have a basket in mine so I need to flip them halfway through. Tip: use parchment paper. To flip, take a second parchment and flip the whole lot onto it. Easy peasy. No burned fingers or fiddling with a spatula.

I'm already using my air fryer for steak, salmon, hard boiled eggs, and grilled cheese sandwiches. The steak comes out so juicy! I've found all these suggestions on your site or by googling around. We have had a lot of luck with pork chops and tenderloin in our air fryer. We have two of them; a Cosori and a Ninja dual basket. We use the Ninja to do frozen burgers and french fries that come out together at the same time with the Smart Finish feature. I haven't turned on my outdoor gas grill at all in a year. We don't do a lot of desserts here, but some of those are tempting. Thanks for all you do!

Corn on the cob has never been better than cooked with my air fryer. The sweetness comes out, and the kernals are easy to eat, leaving a clean cob behind. It's nearly impossible to mess up a meal cooked in the air fryer. WOW, the CROOKIE looks amazing. I've never seen it before, and I'm SOLD. Those peppers look great, and anything with Everything but the Bagel seasoning is going to be delish. I really enjoy these recipes. Leftovers in the Air Fryer is like a new, fresh batch. I can't tell the difference. Microwave leftovers is 20th Century. Air Fryer leftovers is 21st Century and the way it should be done. Fried chicken, Chinese food, French Fries, Pizza, and more is the BEST air fried.

[@empoweredcooks]

Hey Sam! Have you watched my air fryer buying guide yet? kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaSvp6SIfLdonZY For bread, you can do small loaves in air fryers that are around 6 quarts, no problem. If you want to do several loaves at once, then you're probably going to be better off with an air fryer oven. Although those do have enough cons that I don't care for them (more info on that in the buying guide video).

I shall buy an air fryer after getting hooked on your videos, however corn with leaves on in the microwave take only 3 minutes and does not dry out. Salmon as you have shown it also only take 3 minutes in the microwave. Granted there may be a different flavour which I have yet to experience.
