Air fryers have been popular in other countries for years, and you’ll find lots of excellent recipes on the web from Australia and Europe.

It’s well worth the trouble to look up the correct amounts, and your favorite search engine will bring up just about any conversion tool you need. Here are a few to help you do quick conversions on ingredient amounts, and one for temperatures:

Can all these recipes be used in my new air fryer microwave?
Thank You
Stephanie
Susan says
Hi Stephanie,
I’m sorry but I have no experience with an air fryer microwave. I’m not even sure whether they are for sale yet here in the U.S. All I can suggest is that you refer to the instructions that came with your appliance.
Best,
Susan

Susan Whitfield says
I love my air fryer and have cooked fries and chicken in it. Getting ready to do more things. I want to use WW points as well.
BECKY THOMAS says
You can go online in WW and create a recipe from anywhere with the ingredient and instructions. I have recorded all of my favorites there and it will calculate the points automatically per serving. I love it!!!

Pamela Meyer says
How do you figure WW points?
Pat Pippin says
Go to (link removed – calculator no longer exists) calculators/weightwatchers calculator. Choose the plan you are using
Susan says
Update: The calculator above no longer exists, so the link has been removed. You can try this calculator, but it clearly states that it is not associated with Weight Watchers.
Hope that’s helpful,

Kath says
Hi. I am doing research at the moment on the airfryers available .has anyone got the air fryer advertised on tv in New Zealand if so are they any good
Susan says
Hi Kath,
I’m in the U.S. so I have no idea which air fryer you mean, but I do have an opinion. :) Generally speaking, I tend to be a little leery of appliances marketed via infomercials on TV. My advice is to find out everything you can BEFORE you buy. Go to the website and read all the fine print. Who is the manufacturer? How long is the warranty? What are the terms of the warranty? Is there a customer service phone number or email address? Is there any way for you to ask the company a question before you buy?
For an example, I know of one appliance that is highly advertised on TV that costs as much as a leading brand but has only a 30 day warranty — plus, the warranty states that if your appliance is defective, you must pay for return shipping and send a check for $20 for a “handling fee”.
I’m just saying, be sure you read all the details before you buy. Hope that helps!

Just buy one,they area awesome
Rinda says
What is the best way to take container food out of the basket with out getting burned or spilt?
Susan says
Hi Rinda,
Good question! Sometimes it is possible to use tongs. It is also possible to fashion a sling out of aluminum foil, but you better make sure it is wide enough else you risk the container tipping and spilling as you try to remove it.
In my opinion, the best way is to bite the bullet and buy one of the pans made specifically for use in air fryers. These pans have a handle that completely solves the problem of lifting the hot container without spilling the contents and/or burning yourself. Personally, I use my baking pan a lot, and to me it is well worth the investment to get the most from your air fryer.
Update: The cost of some accessories has come way down in recent months. You can now get a baking pan at a very reasonable price. I just wrote a new post with all the details. Click here to read about air fryer baking pans and where to get the best price.
R.m. Marranca says
Use flat tipped prongs
Susan says
I agree this works sometimes, but it’s not always as easy as it sounds, especially with very liquid contents in a pan.
Merrelyne says
I have just bought a Healthy Choice 10litre Analogue Air Fryer and I am wondering if the Phillips Air Fryer Recipes can be used in this machine easily? Thanks for these recipes, am hoping I can use them.
Susan says
Hi Merrelyne,
That brand air fryer is not sold here in the U.S. (to the best of my knowledge), so I can’t address that specifically. However, this question has come up before so I just wrote a short post about it. Here’s the link:
Will All Airfryer Recipes Work In All Airfryers?
Hopefully that info will help clarify for you and others who have this question.
Have fun air frying!

Evelyn Sance says
I totally LOVE MY AIRFRYER XL, I had seen it advertised on T. V. and decided to check out Amazon for it. Not only was it cheaper, but it came with a couple pans, and a hardcover recipe book.
I have used mine everyday, since I got it. I have made med-rare steaks, French fries, a roast, biscuits, egg rolls, baked a cake.. The list goes on!!!! It’s quick to get dinner on the table, when my fiance works late. I make frozen appetizers, for snacks, while watching TV. Best appliance, I have ever bought!!!!! Never need to heat my house up in the summer from the oven, and my food is cooked faster. Spray a little can olive oil on the food for crispy browning, and it taste like it was just deep fried, but not the calories!!!! And, no nasty leftover grease, to worry about discarding!!! Love, Love, Love it!!!!
Kathleen says
I just used mine love it made frys
Willie Jo says
We recently bought an air frier… Made brats tonight in it.. They turned out perfect!! Can’t wait to try bacon!!
Waluya Dimas says
We just bought Philips Airfryer a few days ago in Melbourne Australia, So far I had used to cook 430gram Chicken breast on 180*C for 15 menit but still a bit raw, so I put it back for 10 more menit ang the result was prefect. And now I just finished cooking 650 gram 2 pieces go beef rib eye fillet on 200*C and was well done. I guess I have to experiment re time to find out the different time between medium and well Next time I like to try to make potatoes chips from fresh potatoes. From the video I need to put 1 table of oil, but I don’t where I should put the oil.
Susan says
I dearly love a good steak and was stunned to discover that my Philips will cook a delicious ribeye! That’s included in my cookbook The Air Fryer Bible. I don’t know what video you watched, but the oil goes on the potatoes. You can put your potatoes in a bowl with the oil and stir to coat, or you can simply use a spray bottle to spritz the potatoes with oil.
Hope that helps!
Susan
Jenn says
It’s great you added conversion links, I always weigh flour. That being said, my daughter got me an air fryer for Christmas and I love it! I’ve been looking up recipes but not finding many straight answers, I’ll have to dive in and try them myself ?? I’m mainly looking for desserts since I know most to every type of main/side dish can be made in air fryers ????
Susan says
Yes indeed air fryers are versatile, and they turn out excellent baked goods. At the risk of sounding pushy, I can’t resist recommending The Air Fryer Bible as it includes a good section on desserts, plus some things like muffins in the Breakfast section that could also be served as desserts.
Thanks so much for your comment!
Alex says
Today we made chicken flautas in the air fryer .
