An air fryer is a kitchen appliance that’s cooks like a convection oven. It’s usually a counter top appliance however with its growing popularity, companies are beginning to include this function in regular stovetop ranges.
The Air fryer has become so popular because of its promise to give the quality of fried foods without need for deep frying. Does it fulfill this promise? I think it does these air fryer crispy chicken drumsticks and boneless chicken thighs say so.

Cooking times for air fryers.
I will have you know that when it comes to cooking times for air fryers, no one time fits all. There are a variety of factors involved so you need to treat charts as a guide. There are many time sheets across the internet with varying temperatures.
This is because air fryers are made be different manufacturers making each one unique. Like wise everyone cooks in different ways and each person prefers their foods in different ways. For example MR A liked his steak medium rare while Mrs B likes hers well done.
Mr A would most likely cook his steak for 6-8 mins looking out for an internal temp of 145F while Mrs B will be cooking here for up 25 mins looking out for an internal temp of 165F. Makes sense?
You should also know my time sheet is based on a non preheated air fryer. If you preheat your air fryer, cook for less time. Basically this a guide and you are free to adjust accordingly.
Do we air fry everything?
Can we air fryer everything? The answer is no. Just like not everything can be made in the oven, we cannot air fry everything. The most common foods we cook in the air fryer are meats. From chicken to beef and fish, the air fryer does a good job.
Vegetables cook up nicely in the air fryer as well. From mixed veggies to carrots, broccoli, green beans etc, you’ll love it.

Can Crullers be air-fried instead of deep-fried?
Hi Tina,
I would think so. Since Donuts can be air fried, i think we can air fryer crullers. I haven’t tried it but i would try air frying it at 350F /180C for 4-5 mins.
Can this be used in the 350 air fryer??
Hi Marybeth,
It should work if your air fryer only gets up to 350F. You would only need to cook your recipes for longer than stated in the chart. (Where it states 400F)
This is a great chart but can you please correct the spelling mistakes and republish it?
Example: "Celcius" is spelled incorrectly: It should be "Celsius".
Also: "Fillet" Mignon is spelled incorrectly: It should be "Filet".
And: "Brussels" Sprouts is spelled incorrectly: It should be "Brussel".
Apologies for the corrections!
Hi Meg,
Thanks for your observations. Those were typos and have been fixed. The Brussels sprouts is correct being that these are sprouts from Brussels, Belgium. However, they are used interchangeably and both are acceptable. No need to apologize we love helpful observations.
So how long would you cook a Cottage Roll and at what temperature?
Hi Catherine,
Cook at 300F for 40 mins then increase temp to 380F and cook for another 5 mins
