Knowing that you don’t have to heat up your oven for a small batch of french fries is a pretty awesome. And if you’re forgetful try our air fryer frozen steak recipe.
Using an air fryer comes with a lot of positives. It’s quick, it’s more energy-efficient than other larger appliances, and it cuts out the grease by a ton.
One of the biggest cons with an air fryer is that it’s going to take up counter space each time that you use it.
But when you’re comparing the pros to the cons, it’s pretty clear that having an air fryer in your household is a simple and easy choice to make. 
If you ask me whether I regret getting one I would say 100% NO WAY! I use mine EVERY SINGLE DAY I tell you.
Whether it’s to warm up something, make grilled cheese for lunch, or make air fryer bacon for breakfast.
- Now I haven’t tried these frozen but generally it works. I just adjust the temp to be a bit lower, for a longer time and it’s great.
- Just use the air fryer times printable you see here for new items you may not have cooked before.
- The timing for everything is really dead on so there’s little to no guesswork.

We just bought a Ninja air fryer and I noticed that the majority of the food to cook on it is processed food. What are some food to cook in it that’s not processed? What about home cooked French fries?
