Just got an air fryer? Cooking these 5 foods will unlock its full potential

Philips 2000 series air fryer with a 6.6 basket and a window, a vortex grill for air circulation, 13 preset modes, and an led screen for timing and heat settings.

When you test as many air fryers as I do, you'll get sick of the freezer food diet pretty quickly. I use french fries and chicken strips as part of my standard reviewing routine for ranking all the best air fryers, but in reality, my diet is (thankfully) a lot more varied.

I've made everything from poached eggs (bad) to cookies (surprisingly good) in my air fryer, and if you're only using it to crisp up frozen treats, you're making a big mistake. Air fryers are, essentially, tiny ovens, which means that they're just as versatile. If you'd cook it in the oven, you can cook it in the air fryer. Plus, because it heats fast and often comes with a removable basket, you can also use it in the place of a frying pan or even a baking tray.
