Quick recipes, perfect temps, and everything you need to master your air fryer
Browse RecipesAir fryers are the fastest, most versatile countertop appliance most households own. They cook chicken wings crispier than an oven, reheat leftovers without sogginess, and replace deep-frying for wings, fries, and vegetables. We test air fryers from Ninja, COSORI, Instant, Chefman, Breville, and other brands across capacity, cooking quality, ease of cleaning, and price.
The right air fryer depends on household size, budget, and cooking style. A single-person household might do great with a 4-quart Ninja AF101 ($79); a family of four often needs 6-8 quarts or a dual-zone model. We also publish tested air fryer recipes — chicken wings, French fries, salmon, frozen foods — with specific times and temperatures that actually work.

Get better results every time
Leave space between items for air to circulate. Cook in batches if needed—it's faster than you think!
Run your air fryer empty for 3-5 minutes before cooking. The hot start = better crust.
For even browning, give the basket a shake or flip items halfway through cooking time.
Light spray or brush of oil makes everything crispier. Use an oil mister for best results.
Moisture is the enemy of crispiness. Always dry chicken, fries, and veggies before cooking.
Makes cleanup a breeze and prevents sticking. Get perforated ones for proper airflow.
