      Yes. Roasted corn on the cob is awesome. Go to Pinterest for recipes for compound butters. Yum.

    I have a Cuisinart TOA-60.
    Air-Frying Foster Farms Corn dogs at 400 for 10 mins burns them badly.
    After about 3 tries, I found about 12 mins at 300 degrees was the ticket.

    Hope the information helps someone else.

        I did the Fosters Farm Corn Dogs at 400° for 10 minutes in the Philips HD9641/99 and they were fine, not burnt at all. Wonder if it has anything to do with the air fryer model

          You MUST look at the wattage of air fryer, just like wattage of microwaves, very important to cook items correctly, not all air fryers have the same wattage.

        I cooked the Marie Calendar chicken pot pie (individual) in my Power Air Fryer Oven at the suggested 370 degrees for the suggested 38 minutes as stated by Pat Smith. It was absolutely divine. The crust was a beautiful dark golden brown, the chicken was nice and tender and delicious, and the vegetables were nice and tender. In the microwave both the chicken and vegetables are rubbery and taste uncooked after the 6 minute cook time as stated on the package.
        It was sooooo worth the extra 30+ minutes it took to cook in my Power Air Fryer Oven. But the best part was, I didn’t have to heat up my entire kitchen with my conventional oven nor risk burning edges of the crust in a toaster oven.
        I love my Power Air Fryer Oven.

    Food mfg have to get with the times and include instructions on cooking in an air Fryer with their product. The air fryer is gaining a huge popularity splurge.

      I agree with you on that. I have tried to guesstimate time and temp on items, but manufacturers should do the time and temp game.

      Hi Mary Ann. Do you mean a book for frozen foods straight into the air fryer, or a cook book for recipes that are then suitable to freeze?

    I’ve found using a lower temp for a tad bit longer often results in better cooking: less burning. When in doubt, go shorter and then you can always continue to add time.

    The company is Goya, in case if you needed for information. I apologize if this question sounds silly, it’s just that I get startled whenever the oil (vegetable) pops.

    Buying an air fryer may be one of your best choices. This is especially if you love cooking and wish to do it indoors when the weather is too cold or too hot. They are an ideal choice for people who have busy schedules too since they can easily be transferred from one spot to another without much fuss.
