We've tested more than 40 air fryers in the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances Lab, including traditional basket-style air fryers, air fryer ovens, air fryer toaster ovens and even several microwaves and multicookers with air fry capabilities. We also cook with them quite regularly in the Lab and at home and have developed countless air fryer recipes. This cookbook is the perfect marriage of two very timely health and cooking trends: the keto diet and air fryer technology. Penned by Hey Keto Mama's Sam Dillard, this collection includes 175 easy-to-make recipes that span everything from breakfast to side dishes to dessert, so there is something for everyone and every occasion. For those new to either air frying or the keto diet, there is a helpful introduction section on the fundamentals of air fryer cooking, the ingredients called for are easy to find at any grocery store, and the recipes are broken down in a user-friendly fashion. As air fryers are designed with additional functions, such as baking and roasting, cookbooks are written to include recipes using those functions. If your air fryer only air fries, make sure to choose a book with recipes that focus on that.

Pressure cookers with air frying capability can also provide a slew of cooking functions beyond air frying and pressure cooking, including rice, slow cook, sauté and even yogurt or dehydrate.The air fryer is a kitchen appliance that's become wildly popular in the last few years—and it's no wonder! Essentially, it's a countertop oven that uses a high-powered fan to circulate extra-hot air and produce crispy, juicy fried foods with little to no fat or oil. As you can imagine, this lets you easily try all kinds of air fryer recipes. All you need is a cookbook for some inspiration.

If there's a drip tray, empty any oil (but do not flush it down the sink; empty it into a sealable can, jar or bag that you can toss when it's full).Many people don't want to hear it, but you must clean your air fryer after every use. Even if you haven't added oil — but especially if you have — the basket, trays and element can collect grease and get gummy, start to smell or, most critically, put the machine at risk of smoking. Air fryer ovens are a bit bigger and can air fry food on multiple shelves, but they require more monitoring and food often needs to be rotated during cooking. So when it came to rounding up our favorite air-fryer cookbooks, we took the task very seriously. Since air-fryer models are constantly being refined and updated, the recipes and cookbooks you use should reflect that. Each of the following cookbooks contain recipes that are not only rigorously tested, but also include plenty of tips on how you can get restaurant-quality results at home. Because we definitely believe you shouldn't have to leave your house to get a hot, fresh donut. The air fryer cooking guide was handy. I liked that cooking times and nutrition (calories. amount of fat, protein, carbs, etc.) were provided. If you need a larger capacity model, consider the Ninja Foodi 6-in-1 Two-Basket Air Fryer. It performs just as well as the Air Fryer Max XL with even more versatility. The two baskets total 8 quarts in capacity, and you can cook the same food in each or two different foods at two different temperatures. It's also the one we turn to the most for one-person meals since each individual basket is smaller and takes up less room in the dishwasher.
