My parents got me one of them fancy countertop air fryer/oven things and idk what to cook first when I get it set up. According to the box, it does everything a normal oven does as well as air fries. It can hold two whole chickens or 1 frozen pizza. It came with a rack for things like toast and a baking sheet. I also have a bunch of pans and stuff that I was given when I got my house that I’ve never used.
I don’t know much about actually cooking food other than chicken should not be medium rare and that the cereal goes before the milk.
Air fryer roasted vegetables are awesome, usually between 5 - 10 mins at like 360 - 375, google your specific vege for recipes. Brussels sprouts, asparagus, turnips, beets, potatoes, squash, all come out great in half the time of the oven.
Frozen chimichangas actually turn out like deep fried restaurant chimi’s, smother in green chile for best results.
Reheated thin crust pizza can get its crunch back in the air fryer.
Cookies come out nice and crispy with a soft center at like 325 for 6 mins (more traditional) or 340 - 350 for 3 - 5 mins (more crispy edges with a gooier center).
Frozen trash food like fried pickles, mozzarella sticks, fries, onion rings all come out pretty much the same as deep fried, can save you a drunk doordash order for 20% of the cost.
Croutons, bread crumbs, pepitas, anything else dehydrated is pretty easy in the air fryer at lower temps.
Paninis are possible but a little tricky because deli meat tends to get a bit leathery, cook the pieces in stages, toasting bread and melting cheese, then give a quick finish to the whole thing.
