When we started developing recipes for Air Fryer Perfection, we found that the more we cooked with our air fryers, the more we found ourselves loving this versatile tool. Rosy steaks, juicy chicken, vibrant asparagus, and pillowy potato wedges with crisp edges all emerged from the basket and were devoured. Colleagues in the test kitchen would stop by and ask, “Did you make that in the air fryer?” before stealing a bite. The best part was the ease: There was no splattering, and the device could mostly be left alone. After several months of recipe development, we had a test kitchen-tested cookbook that features 75 recipes (the full recipe list is below) for the air fryer novice or the experienced cook.

Full Recipe List from "Air Fryer Perfection"
Did you know that you can cook spaghetti and meatballs in the air fryer? Cheesy potato gratin? We air-fried cheeseburgers (so much easier than lugging out the grill). We got fancy and roasted boneless beef short ribs; in the air fryer's powerful heat, they emerged rich and luscious—a restaurant-quality meal involving barely any work. On the flip side, knowing how well frozen food crisps up in the air fryer, we developed homemade takes on freezer-aisle favorites that we could make ahead and air-fry whenever the craving struck. Here's a list of those recipes and the dozens more included in Air Fryer Perfection.
