Recipe FAQ's:
It only takes two simple steps to cook up your frozen Eggo waffles in the air fryer. Simply take the frozen waffles out of the freezer and place them in the air fryer basket. Cook the frozen waffles in the air fryer at 360F for 6 minutes, flipping the waffles over halfway through the cooking time. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Yes you can make your wings super crispy in the air fryer. Lay your chicken wings in a single layer, on the air fryer basket, spray them with olive oil and cook for 30 minutes at 360F flipping every 5 minutes.
Air fryers, much like your standard oven or toaster oven, can be used to heat and reheat foods that could benefit from being wrapped in, or placed on top of, aluminum foil. Just make sure you do not cover the entire air fryer basket with the foil or you will prevent the air from circulating which is necessary to crisp your food.
Do not put paper towels in an air fryer. Your air fryer operates at a high heat, so using paper towel is a fire risk and should absolutely be avoided.
