Are you new to the Air Fryer? It’s become our favorite kitchen appliance.

We cook all sorts of meals and dishes in the air fryer and it’s healthier than submerging them in hot oil.

If you’re new to the Air Fryer, check out this list of Air Fryer Recipes for the Beginner. Whether you’re new or have been air frying foods for a while, this is a great list and resource to use.

How Does the Air Fryer Work?

Cooking food in Air Fryers has made it easier to eat healthier without submerging your foods in oil.

Air Fryers cook foods by using a heating element and a fan, and that circulating of heat and hot air is what helps cook the food and crisp it. 

Air Fryers can cook with heat as high as 400° Fahrenheit/200° Celcius. Some air fryers may even cook to higher temps. 

One of the biggest things that comes with owning the air fryer is questions on how to do certain foods.

What do I make?

How long should I cook it?

Can I use olive oil, or should I use oil in my air fryer?

What’s the best air fryer to buy?

Do I need to preheat my Air Fryer?

If you’ve been wondering all of those things, we’ve got the answers right here for you! Check out this post on the Top 10 Air Fryer Questions.

Each one of the recipes we share with you will have all of the important information with it. You’ll find the temperature, cooking time, the answer to if you should use oil, and we will answer if you should preheat for each specific recipe.

We love using our Air Fryer and have also come up with some of the best air fryer recipes that we share on our site.

You’ll find main dishes, desserts, appetizers, how to make the perfect side dish, and more.
