Shoutout to the person who said to try frozen dumplings in the air fryer

I saw a comment about it on a video from a food blog in Portland. Tossed a few frozen pork gyoza in at 380 for 10 minutes, no oil. They came out super crispy, not soggy at all, and the filling was hot. Totally changed my mind about needing to steam or pan-fry them. Anyone have other frozen foods that work surprisingly well?

I finally hit 100 uses on my air fryer without burning anything

The little counter on the side just ticked over, and I realized I've made everything from frozen fries to whole chicken thighs without a single smoking disaster. How many tries did it take you all to stop setting off your smoke alarm?

Update: My sister-in-law in Denver showed me her air fryer trick for leftover pizza

I was over there last month and she just tossed a cold slice in for 3 minutes at 350. It came out crispy, not soggy, and totally changed my leftover game. Anyone have other good uses for reheating stuff besides pizza?

I finally went to that new kitchen store on Maple Avenue

They had a whole wall of air fryers, but the recipes they had printed out were all for frozen junk like nuggets and fries. I asked an employee for a good veggie recipe and he just shrugged. What do you guys actually cook from scratch in yours?

Found an old cookbook from my grandma that said to preheat an oven for an hour for fries.

I was going through some boxes in the basement and saw her handwritten note about letting the oven 'get good and hot' for a full 60 minutes. My air fryer does frozen fries in 15 minutes from cold. What's a kitchen tip you found that feels totally outdated now?

My mom told me not to crowd the basket and I didn't listen

She said 'give them room to breathe' when I was making frozen fries. I dumped the whole bag in anyway because I was in a hurry. They came out soggy and pale, not crispy at all. I had to do a second batch properly spaced and it took twice as long. Anyone have a good trick for cooking a full bag without this happening?

I finally cooked pulled pork in my air fryer, and the time investment shocked me.

I prepared a pork shoulder for the air fryer yesterday. The cooking process took over four hours, but the meat came out really juicy. What other dishes have you all found that require a similar level of patience in the air fryer?

I finally nailed crispy air fryer fries, but my method takes forever.

Some say soaking the potatoes is key for that perfect crunch, while others think it's a waste of time. I soak mine for an hour, and it works, but is it really necessary? What do you all think?

Just realized my air fryer pizza rolls always burn because I ignore the timer out of greed
