Move over, slow cooker. See you later, Instant Pot. The air fryer is the newest must-have kitchen appliance that's changing the dinner game. And how do you become an air fryer aficionado? By stocking up on a few of these best-of-the-best air fryer cookbooks. What is an air fryer exactly? The appliance works by circulating hot air around food at a high speed — similar to a convection oven, but with just a turn of the dial. Home cooks and kitchen pros alike love that it preheats faster than an oven, doesn't heat up the whole house, and best of all, is safer, cleaner, and healthier than deep frying.
And while the air fryer can easily turn out convincingly healthier versions of deep-fried foods like chicken wings, french fries, and mozzarella sticks, these best air fryer cookbooks will also show you all the fun and inventive things that air fryers can do, like bake moist and tender cakes, sear irresistible meats, and roast creamy, caramelized vegetables. All you need is a little guidance and a few fantastic air fryer recipes. With any one of these air fryer cookbooks, you'll be able to achieve pro-level crispy, crunchy textures and upgrade your home cooking — all in less time and with less mess.
