The advantages of cooking in an air fryer are numerous: no need to preheat the oven, cooking is quicker, cheaper, and healthier (requires very little fat) and fewer pots and dishes get dirty, no smoke or odors.
Note that the temperature and cooking times are generally indicative, as it greatly depends on your kind of air fryer (mine is Philips XXL), however, the recipes on my Blog are all previously and rigorously tested by me (so they are more than tried and tested). Anyway, I still recommend checking the cooking every now and then to better adjust the time and temperature for your air fryer.

Shopping Tips !!!
I am very satisfied with the Philips Airfryer XXL, with a large and spacious basket. Moreover, the Rapid Air technology ensures optimal circulation of hot air that cooks food evenly and keeps it crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
With 16 cooking functions in 1: Fries, bakes, grills, roasts and reheats. A healthier way to cook, separates and captures excess fat (healthy and tasty dishes with up to 90% less fat). Cooks up to 50% faster and saves up to 70% energy compared to a regular oven (cuts cooking time in half as it does NOT require preheating). The “Keep Warm” mode is very useful.
The individual components are all easily removable and dishwasher safe. Highly recommended!
For preparing this tart, I used the handy perforated parchment paper for air fryer, non-stick, easy to clean, can also be used in a conventional oven.
I often use these handy disposable trays of Parchment paper for Air Fryer, disposable, without holes they don’t dirty the fryer, but the hot air circulates anyway because they are very thin. They are also oil and water resistant, non-stick, do not burn and can also be used in a regular oven.
Square pan for air fryer, 18/22 cm in diameter, also ideal for cakes.
Finally, if you want to keep your air fryer clean and at the same time, protected from scratches and abrasions (e.g.: from tongs), these reusable non-stick heat-resistant grill mats are very useful.
