Philips Air Fryer Recipes
Welcome to my Philips Air Fryer Recipes and more specifically 101 Philips Air Fryer Recipes For The Complete Beginner.
I no longer have my receipt for my Philips Air Fryer so I can’t give you an exact date, but we did buy our Air Fryer at some point during 2011.
Since then we have made that many dishes in our air fryer, we have lost count and this month on RecipeThis.com we wanted to celebrate our many years of air fryer cooking by sharing our best with you.
Our 101 Philips Air Fryer Recipes was originally created back in 2017, but since then we have published more and more air fryer recipes and felt that it needed a 2020 makeover and this is what you are reading today, the 2020 version.
We have put together on this page our top 101 Air Fryer recipes along with loads of tips and tricks that has come with our air fryer experience.
Not to mention the opportunity to buy our air fryer cookbooks in PDF.
Why Philips Air Fryer Recipes?
The Philips Air Fryer was the first. Way back in 2010 it became this new original way of cooking instead of the deep fat fryer.
We were one of many to see is potential and get the Philips Air Fryer.
Right now, in the year 2020 we have 2 Philips Air Fryers and 1 Power Air Fryer Oven.
Even though the recipes you see on this page are mainly cooked in the Philips Air Fryer, with a handful in the air fryer oven they would work with many brands of air fryers.
Don’t panic if you don’t have a Philips.
300 Air Fryer Recipes PDF
Our air fryer archives recipe ebook is a best seller and is known by many names. Many call it 300 air fryer recipes in PDF just because there are more than 300 recipes.
Others call it air fryer recipes for beginners. But I call it the air fryer archives.
The air fryer archives because it includes our entire air fryer archives in PDF. You can also buy it with unlimited updates.
I have gone a bit meatball mad on the blog over the last year or so and here were the results:

Air Fryer Baking
If you have not tried it yet, air fryer is meant for baking, like a duck loves water.
Baked goods taste delicious, they are crispy, and they don’t overcook like an oven does.
My favourite is air fryer pull apart bread. Though you can make a five cheese version too.
You can also make air fryer baked brie and then also use the same air fryer to reheat it when the cheese goes hard.
Or if you love sausage rolls, note you can make perfect air fryer sausage rolls.
I also love my grandma’s rock buns in the air fryer too. Or do try our air fryer scones or air fryer biscuits to serve with your favourite winter stew.
Or keep your sweet tooth alive with air fryer brownies, air fryer deep fried oreos, air fryer apple pie or air fryer carrot cake.
Though my kids prefer either air fryer doughnuts or air fryer homemade pop tarts.
Though beyond traditional baking and with a blender on hand to make breadcrumbs, I love to bread food for the air fryer.

Would like to bake the Pillsbury Frozen Biscuits in my new fryer but unsure of temperature and how long to bake. I tried this morning at 370 for 10 minutes. They were a little too brown on top but not quite done in middle. Thank you for your help.
Hi Nancy,
We have not actually cooked them ourselves but i would reduce the temperature because the airfryers tend to cook too much from the top sometimes and the hot air does not circulate correctly and add an extra few minutes to the time and see how that goes.
Hope these tips help.
Kind Regards
Sam

Some foods need to be tented with foil until the last few minutes.
I am so glad I stumbled on your collection! It is terrific!
Hi Cheryl
Thank you very much for your feedback.
Kind Regards

Hi… I am so excited that I found your website. I have made very few items in mine. My question is you use the Phillips brand. I have Cooks Essential. Will these recipes work in mine?
Hi Melonee,
I have not tried a cooks essential airfryer but i would think these recipes should work ok with it. We got the Philips because it was the only one out when we bought it so when we upgraded because it had served us so well we decided to keep with them. The only airfryers i would say watch out for are the cheaper ones as a friend had one and it took ages to cook some things about $40 they paid.
If you have any issues please feel free to get in touch.
Kind Regards
Sam
