The air fryer kitchen

This is the highlight of KitchenLab, a full section, not a homepage badge. Every recipe here was cooked in a basket. Titles match how people search. Times name the machine.

Menus people actually search

All recipes

Menus follow search: chicken is the giant, then healthy and easy dinners, then potatoes and desserts, which are easier to rank.

How we time a basket

The internet's default air-fryer math (drop 25°F and cut 20% off oven time) fails on frozen food, weak wattage and a packed basket. We do not use it.

  • Wattage is in the recipeLaunch recipes were tested on 1700W Cosori and Ninja 6-quart machines. A 1400W unit usually needs a few extra minutes after the flip, not a new temperature.
  • Frozen is a different pathKeep the temperature; add time. Do not thaw pastry or wings first. Each recipe that freezes well says so.
  • Crowding is the usual failureOne layer. If pieces touch, you are steaming. Two batches beat one soggy one.
