We were a little slow to join the air fryer craze, but that's because we seldom eat or make fried foods at home. When we found a Ninja air fryer at Costco, and read up on the versatility of the appliance, we decided to give it a try. In two months we have used it on-average about two times a week. We started with recipes found online, and as we got more comfortable and familiar with its capabilities, decided to invest in a cookbook. It seems the better cookbooks, ones that have good instructions and sufficient illustrations, are more expensive.
As I see it, there are two types of air fryer users. There are those who wish to use it to heat or fry prepared foods that come out of the store's freezer case, things that are home-style 'fast food' and require few added ingredients and/or added steps in preparation. Then, there are those who wish to use it to prepare square meals from scratch that dress up the meat-and-potatoes theme. We fall into the latter category and this cookbook is designed for us.
We own and use another America's Test Kitchen cookbook, so knew this one would be worth the cost. While we've only just started to use it, I already have some observations. Some recipes require meats or ingredients I doubt even the best chefs have on hand, like game hens, garam masala, thai chile (a pepper), or pomegranate molasses. Because we are retired and have the time to plan menus a week in advance, and can pick up the odd ingredients ahead of time, the recipes don't faze my husband and I. My second observation is that some of the recipes are dish-intensive, so that adds to clean-up time and dishwasher crowding. Still, not a game changer. The results are worth it. We made the Roasted Bone-In Chicken Breasts and Fingerling Potatoes with Sun-Dried Tomato Relish, page 32, and the results were delicious. We had to adjust cooking time because our store-bought breasts were apparently much fatter than the ones used in the Test Kitchen. But, we made copious notes in the book to aid us the next time we use the recipe. And, yes, the resulting chicken and potatoes looked every bit as appetizing as the illustration. So far, so good!

Reasons to love your air fryer:
Less-fat frying
Yes, the air fryer’s intended purpose holds true: Instead of quarts of oil, we can use just a
small amount and achieve beautifully crisp results for French fries, chicken, fish, and more.
Set it and (almost) forget it
Unlike stovetop cooking, air frying requires virtually no monitoring, thanks to its well-regulated temperature and automatic shutoff. Other than the occasional flip or toss, it does all the work, allowing you to focus on the rest of the meal.
Minimal mess
The food basket is enclosed in the air fryer, and this translates to a clean kitchen—no splattering oil or multiple dirty pots and pans. Plus, the baskets are simple to clean—most are nonstick and dishwasher-safe.
Your automated sous chef
Cooking multiple dishes in the oven can be a juggling act. Hand a side dish over to the air fryer and free up valuable space.
About the author
If You Air Fry, You Need This Book
I rarely purchase hard copy books these days, but after borrowing the digital version from my local library system, I knew I had to have the paper version.Some great tips included. I especially like the tip for browning panko bread crumbs, which I never cared for before (i do now).Living single, it’s nice that most of the recipes serve 2. I dont mind leftovers, but don’t want to eat the same thing for a week at a time.The best part? The recipes are delicious. From fried chicken, to South Carolina Shrimp Bake, to Teriyaki Chicken with Snow Peas, and so many others I can’t wait to try.Now excuse me please. Teriyaki chicken and snow peas are calling.
