I have three of them. The latest purchased is even worse than the
previous two. But all have similar problems.

Latest has poor editing. Ingredients call for turkey, instructions talk
about ground beef. Just one recipe example. Shredded potatoes or other
vegetables? How? Food processor?

Annoying ingredients most recipes.

1/2 C or whatever of fresh herbs and greens of some sort. Who keeps such
on hand?

6 cauliflower florets. What do I do the rest of head?

1/2 turnip. Same problem.

Cooked lentils. Baked salmon. But doesn't say how.

Herbs and other such stuff I never heard of.

These are just a few typical examples. In 80% of recipes.

Maybe I can find a bachelor's air fryer cookbook. This seems to work for
other recipes. So far no luck.

Anyone know of one for a senile idiot like me?

TIA

Me. I always have a bunch of parsley. What kind of greens?

> 6 cauliflower florets. What do I do the rest of head?

Whatever you'd usually do with cauliflower. Roast it. Pickle it.
Boil it to death and then throw it away.

I can't imagine that an extra half turnip (especially if it's small)
would make a different. Use the whole turnip.

They assume that you know how to cook. Get a good general-purpose
cookbook like Betty Crocker.

It's not their fault that you have limited experience with food.

Their audience isn't you. Their audience is someone who has
a modern attitude toward food.

The first thing would be to actually learn to cook. Then the air fryer
cookbook would make sense.

Sorry if I seem rude, but it's from a spirit of tough love.

If they talk about different ingredients in the ingredient list than
in the instructions, then it's just a sloppy cookbook.

Modern attitude towards food:
- Paranoid and overly obsessive about ingredient lists
often with no chemistry education.
In extreme cases, judging and belittling others that
don't agree with the afflicted.

<see also> vegans, born again Christians

I don't think all the added chemicals are bad for you. Some will be,
though. But real food doesn't need lots of added chemicals. That's
all.

><see also> vegans, born again Christians

Vegans are good. Good for animals and good for the environment.
Vegetarians are next. Then pescatarians. At the very bottom are the
meat eaters. They're closest to Cro Magnon.

If by vegan's you are relating then to christians because christians
are all idiots then you may be on to something. Vegan's can not eat at
restaurants, because they just don't know if there is milk in a
recipe...Then again those who are gluten free can not eat at
restaurants because restaurants are usually idiots and cross
contaminate every food in the place.

>Vegans are good. Good for animals and good for the environment.

Actually if everyone were vegan there would be a lot of wasted milk
there would be an over population of cows, sheep, lamb, and whatever
else meats are eaten.

>Vegetarians are next. Then pescatarians. At the very bottom are the
>meat eaters. They're closest to Cro Magnon.

considering Cro Magnon are actually the exact same as modern human
then what you are saying that we are all at the bottom? I eat meat and
it is good as hell. Humans evolved to eat meat. Just because we have
discovered tofu and found another way to get the protein that we need
does not mean we should stop eating meat. Your ancestors did it, their
ancestors did it, their ancestors did it. Humans are omnivores, that
is how we evolved. It does not make the human herbivores any better or
worse for that matter because there is TOFU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And tofu tastes pretty much just like chicken.. well when you fry
them at least

C'mon - would anybody who any experience cooking really buy a air
fryer cookbook?

What you need is a general purpose cookbook, maybve even one for
kids. But I think it may be too late for even that.

I snipped that before I read the last two words and almost pressed
send, but then I had to go back and look at it. I could have sworn
that said "...spirit of Steve". Which I would have argued that you
were much too kind.

-Spirit of Steve.

Ken is still rather new to cooking so a cookbook, or an internet recipe, or
internet cooking site would probably be most useful to him. I will say the
cookbook that came with my Ninja has been quite helpful. Unless you have
always been a pressure cooker user you'd never know that frozen rock hard
chicken wings will be completely done under 6 minutes of pressure. Naked
but done.

If you like to cook naked: to each their own.

But I meant that with the internet, cookbooks aren't so important
anymore.

Search on "Air fryer recipes" or for a particular food "Air Fryer steak"

You won't need a book)

Run it through a blender, use it as a rice

It is possible to use regular recipes with an airfryer, you just have
to learn your machine and how it compares to your oven as far as
cooking times.... same goes for fried foods

Personally I use an airfryer about 90% of the time but I do not use a
recipe book. Airfryers are not all the same such as ovens and such.
Some can take an extra 7-10 minutes to cook a dish that took only 7
minutes in another airfryer.

So finding a accurate recipe would be difficult unless the recipes
came with the appliance. I can give you a recipe that you can use for
multiple dishes... You have to initially cook at least 3 times as much
as you can eat in one mean and freeze it all. You will be partially
cooking the food. It will not at all be edible until after the final
cook.


Get about 3 pounds of chicken breasts cut any excess fat that is not
wanted off of them. Rinse them well and then dry them well.
Place on a large cutting board and cut into strips about 1 inch wide
for the thicker pieces you may have to thin it by cutting it by its
width. When they are all the same width roughly them make sure they
are all the same length or there about...

This is an important step because different size pieces will cook at
different rates

If you have some pieces that just don't and cant match to the others
set them aside and cook them in a second batch.

Most people will put the chicken in a zip lock and just beat the hell
out of it and flatten it down to all the same width, but that will
leave you chicken dry and rather tough. This is why cutting the
chicken by its width is so important.... Now that was the prep work on
to the recipe

use whatever breading
use whatever flour you want
you want but you will need 1 egg and 1 egg white
about half a cup of heavy cream about a tbsp of paprika which you will
add to your flour

make sure your chicken is dry and dip it in the flour mixture then the
egg wash then the breading (I use crushed lentil cakes) and set aside
after you have breaded all of your chicken allow to sit on the side
for about 10 minutes to let the breading dry a bit.

coat your chicken in just a little bit of olive oil. I use a spray
bottle that I fill with olive oil...

put it in your airfryer and fry it at 390 degrees for 6 minutes
pull it out and shake it or move it around then put it back in the
airfryer at 330 degrees for 11 minutes... when it is done let it cool
then place in a container and freeze it.
I use a big plastic container that I got from dollar tree.
if you want to eat some right away just take out what you want and put
it in the air fryer @ 400 degrees for about 5 minutes... cook times
may vary according to what brand of fryer you have.

As far as the frozen chicken when you are ready to eat the frozen
stash you have, then place it in the airfryer @ 400 for anywhere from
6-12 minutes or maybe even longer

This chicken goes really well on salads, sandwiches, with ketchup,
with thousand island dressing (if you make it yourself which I do have
a wonderful recipe for just ask if you want it) There is a russian
dressing that is the best sauce ever for chicken, so popular in fact
it made one man really rich when he started a fast food chain based
solely on that sauce.
I have posted that recipe for the sauce 2 times now and I don't know
if anyone even read it
It is under the heading

"Hello I am new to this group, I have been a regular on usenet for
years but first time here"

now I can tell you some of the different dishes other than the ones I
have already listed that works well with this chicken...

Chicken and waffles is the best!!
hash browns with chicken
chicken strips/nuggets with the different sauces
chicken sandwiches (with mayo tomato and lettuce)
I already said chicken salad but that is one of my favorites
chicken and pasta with a cheese sauce (if you want the cheese sauce
recipe just ask)
chicken tacos (after you cook the chicken from the freezer slice it
into small chunks and put it in a hard or soft taco with lettuce,
tomato, and a salsa)
there are literally hundreds of dishes that can be used with this
chicken...

My wife got a couple of cookbooks for her birthday. One was a "I Love My Air Fryer Keto Diet Recipe Book." There's nothing that really strikes me as being interesting enough to mention. The other "book" is a keto diet cookbook. Perversely, it's on come CDs - or perhaps they're DVDs. No matter, I don't have any optical drives to access them. That's the beaks.

Those recipe books are for suckers. They cobble them together in 36
hours without any testing, edit them for 10 minutes by throwing it
through a formatter and spell-chucker, and then send it to press.
or worse, sell it on the internet as an electronic cookbook.
They're all for rubes.

What you have is a limited toaster oven. There are no special
recipes for it. You just heat shit up in it. If its fits in there,
you can cook it in there. Just don't try folding up a pizza in
stuffing it in there.
