The benefits of air fryer cooking are numerous: no need to preheat the oven, the cooking is faster, more economical, and healthier (requires very little fat), you don’t dirty many pots and pans, and there’s no smoke or odors.
Please note that the temperature and cooking times are generally indicative since a lot depends on your type of air fryer. However, all the recipes on my blog are thoroughly and rigorously tested by me first, so they are more than tried and tested. In any case, I recommend checking the cooking regularly to better adjust the time and temperature to your air fryer.

Shopping Tips!!!
I am really satisfied with the Philips Airfryer, with a large basket, and the Rapid Air technology creates optimal hot air circulation that cooks food evenly and keeps it crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. With many cooking functions in one: Fries, bakes, grills, roasts, and reheats. A healthier way to cook because it 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 an oven (cuts cooking time compared to a conventional oven as it does NOT require preheating). Very useful mode: Keep warm. The individual components are all easily removable and dishwasher safe. Highly recommended! Available on Amazon at a special price. Highly recommended!
These disposable air fryer paper trays, without holes, keep the fryer clean, but hot air circulates anyway because they are very thin. They are also oil and water-resistant, non-stick, do not burn, and can even be used in a standard oven.
I often also use this convenient perforated parchment paper for air fryer, non-stick, easy to clean, can also be used in a standard oven.
Recently, I discovered these very useful non-stick, perforated mats for air fryer, they can replace parchment paper and protect the air fryer well.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
How to store caramelized baked apples?
Let the apples cool and then store them in a sealed container in the refrigerator for a maximum of 3/4 days. You can also freeze them in portioned slices for 2-3 months.
Which parchment paper to use for air fryer?
If using the air fryer for foods that drip (such as batter), it’s better to use non-perforated parchment paper trays (the paper is very light, and air and heat circulate just the same). If the foods to be cooked in the air fryer are dry and don’t drip, it’s preferable to use perforated parchment paper.
Recently, I discovered very useful non-stick, perforated mats for air fryer, they can replace parchment paper and protect the air fryer very well. (see Shopping Tips above).
