Question regarding Air Fryer

[shyvas]

Oh my goodness. I love it so much. I use it everyday. Husband and son like it too.

Same here. I made a chocolate sponge cake this afternoon. It took only approx. 17 minutes to bake.

I haven’t baked in it yet. Do you need special recipes or any modifications or can you just use a recipe as is?

You certainly do. There are many bakes that just don't come out tasting the same as in a traditionnel oven.

It's impossible to bake pizzas, tarts and pies. I usually bake blind the tart shell and add either lemon curd or jam once the shells are cooked. Puddings and sponge cakes come out fine.

You just have to adjust the temperature and cooking time. So, it's a lot of trial and error.

It’s great for frozen pizza. But I know you are a “from scratch” cook. But occasionally I buy the AMERICAN Harvest vegan pizza and it cooks up amazingly well in the air fryer.

Is that raw pizza ?

Yes, it reheats, frozen/ baked pizzas and pies perfectly well.

I have managed to bake pasties in the fryer. However, I had to turn over the pasties half way through the cooking time.
