Air Fryer Perfection: From Crispy Fries and Juicy Steaks to Perfect Vegetables, What to Cook & How to Get the Best Results
About this product
Get the best possible results from your air fryer and discover the best ways to use it (not just frying!) with 75 fast, convenient, great-tasting recipes.
Air fryers promise crisp fried food without actual deep frying. Was it too good to be believed? And what can you cook in them besides French fries? In truth, air fryers cook food by blasting it with circulated hot air. The method is fast, convenient, and can be surprisingly good--if you have the right recipe. We cooked more than 70 pounds of potatoes to create the perfect air fryer French fry, with an evenly crisp exterior and creamy center. But what really drew us to this appliance was the variety of what you can make in it, effortlessly and without having to enlist numerous pots and pans.
In addition to crispy fried chicken and fries, you'll turn out evenly cooked steaks, such as Spice-Rubbed Steak with Snap Pea and Cucumber Salad (the spice rub gives them a bold crust), Sweet and Smoky Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Butternut Squash (the pork cooks directly on top of the squash to save time), and Tandoori Chicken Thighs. Many of the recipes yield both a main and a side for a complete meal. Most recipes take only 45 minutes or even less time, and all come with complete nutrition information.
Frozen foods cook up crisp in the air fryer, but the results are so much better when you start with homemade. So we offer freeze-it-yourself Chicken Nuggets, Southwestern Beef Hand Pies, and more that go straight from freezer to air fryer and cook to perfection. And we share plenty of kid-friendly meals and snacks, from Better-Than-Boxed Fish Sticks to Zucchini Fries. Read more
Editor's Take
Amazon-style marketplace reviews and other customer feedback are generally positive about Air Fryer Perfection, with readers praising the clear explanations, practical air-fryer tips, and reliable recipes. Reviewers commonly mention that it works well for beginners and helps remove the guesswork from air-frying times and temperatures.
On eBay reviews, buyers repeatedly say the book is useful, easy to understand, and full of recipes that “do work well,” with several noting that it includes helpful care and technique guidance. Goodreads mentions for this title are limited, but the comments that appear also lean positive, highlighting photos and everyday family-friendly recipes.
In broader web coverage, America’s Test Kitchen positions the book as a thorough guide to getting crispier coatings, juicier steaks, and better browning, and an Atlanta Journal-Constitution quote describes it as offering “creative and nearly foolproof ways” to cook with an air fryer. Reddit results were sparse and did not surface substantial firsthand discussion of this exact book.
For YouTube, one clearly relevant video result discusses Air Fryer Perfection by America’s Test Kitchen and appears to be a review of the cookbook. A second YouTube result is a general air-fryer cookbook roundup that includes this title, but it is not focused solely on the specific book.
