What You'll Learn
Breakfasts and brunches
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and with an air fryer, you can make it quickly and conveniently. The air fryer's ability to cook without preheating means you can enjoy a variety of dishes, from savoury to sweet, in less time than traditional cooking methods.
For a savoury start to your day, the air fryer is perfect for achieving crispy bacon without the mess and splatter of stovetop cooking. You can also make sausage, steak, and eggs in a variety of styles, from fried and poached to hard-boiled and frittatas. For a hearty breakfast, try a breakfast burrito stuffed with tater tots, scrambled eggs, and avocado, or a breakfast pizza with a soft-cooked egg on top.
If you're looking for something sweet, the air fryer can turn out perfect French toast, fluffy pancakes, and even doughnuts. For a healthier option, try making paleo granola by swapping out oats for nuts and seeds, and using honey as a sweetener. You can also make cinnamon-spiced treats like apple fritters or cinnamon raisin bagels.
The air fryer is also a great way to cook potatoes, whether you prefer them as crispy hash browns, savoury breakfast potatoes with spices, or sweet potato fries. So, whether you're a sweet or savoury breakfast person, the air fryer has you covered!

Meat
Air fryers are miniature convection ovens that can cook almost anything you would cook in a regular oven. They work by circulating hot air rapidly with an internal fan to simulate deep frying without the oil. It is safe to cook raw meat in an air fryer as long as it is fully defrosted, seasoned, and monitored.
Before cooking, ensure your meat is completely defrosted. You can thaw the protein in the refrigerator overnight or use the quick thaw method by submerging it in a bowl of cold water (still in its packaging or a sealed plastic bag) for 30 minutes. Next, preheat your air fryer to 375°F or 400°F. Remove the meat from its packaging and pat it dry with a paper towel. Lightly oil with 1 teaspoon of oil and 1 teaspoon of seasoning per serving.
For a 1-inch-thick steak cooked to medium-rare, cook the steak in a preheated air fryer for 10 minutes, flipping it halfway through. For thicker or thinner steaks, adjust the cooking time accordingly. Use a meat probe to test your steaks and take them out 5 degrees before your desired level of doneness, as the meat temperature will increase as it rests.
For a Sunday roast, you can use a 1.25kg beef topside roasting joint. Roast at 220ºc/425ºf for 15 minutes with oil, salt, and pepper, then turn down to 100ºc/210ºf and cook for a further 45 minutes for a lovely rare joint, perfect for roast dinners and sandwiches.
