Even though I haven’t talked much lately about using the air fryer and the pressure cooker, there’s hardly a day that doesn’t go by that I’m not using both of them. For those of you who have them, are you still using them? If you haven’t tried a baked potato in the air fryer, you must try that! I wash and dry the potatoes, rub the skins with olive oil, then sprinkle with kosher salt. I usually start with about 15 minutes, then flip the potato over for another 15 minutes. Unless it’s a really big potato, that’s usually sufficient and it doesn’t change the time if you’re doing 2 or 3 or 4 potatoes. I’ll often bake extras, put them in the fridge, then scoop out the center to make make breakfast potatoes (scoop out in small chunks, toss with a bit of olive oil, add some seasoning and then then roast in the baking dish, which is one of the most useful additions I purchased), then I’ll use the skins to make potato skins later in day.
Favorite Pots
This is pretty typical when I’m cooking . . at least one pressure cooker out and the air fryer seems to never get put up. I have only that one small section of counter that doesn’t have cabinets above it so I try to only use the extra pot type things there.
What are some of your favorite recipes for the air fryer and pressure cooker?
In addition to all the great pressure cooker recipes, I use the pressure cooker exclusively for beans, rice and boiling eggs and there’s rarely a day that we don’t have at least one of those things.
This weekend I had made fries in the air fryer and Vince said “That is the best thing we’ve ever bought!” I’m not so sure about that but it rates right up near the top!

Since I can’t use our gas stove because I’m on oxygen 24/7, the Instant Pot is the best alternative ever! What are some of the recipes you have made?
Tam, needing ideas
Lynne in Hawaii says
Made hamburger soup last night in the Instant Pot and it was the best!
Chris says
My InstantPot is used constantly, too. Over the weekend, made yogurt and hummus. Can’t thank you enough for inspirting me to get this amazing tool! Mexican rice, poached chicken breasts, potato salad, the list goes on and on!
Verna says
Some of my favorites are mashed potatoes, potato salad, yogurt, rice pudding, sesame chicken and beef stew. I even purchased a second one and use both quite often.
Karen Rowland says
I use my electric pressure cooker quite often and just ordered an air fryer yesterday. Can’t wait to try it out. You haven’t steered me wrong yet Judy.
Cilla says
LOVE my air fryer. Have not tried baked potatoes but will now. Chicken wings are the bomb (in a good way) as are sweet potato fries. Panko encrusted Haddock is delicious.
Trudie says
I have not had good luck with sweet potato fries in the air fryer. Would love some tips!
Tam says
Thanks for the recommendations, everyone! I’m going to make Nordstrom’s tomato basil soup. Found the recipe online.

Joan says
My pork chops are the best I’ve ever made in my air fryer! I’m looking for some good recipes myself!

I’m no so happy with my air fryer at the moment. It keep setting off the smoke alarm since the air exhausting from it smells hot – the basket is clean, the base is clean but when I tipped the base to see if I could see what might be the problem, there’s a ring around the upper edgesl that’s got oily buildup on it. I think that’s the culprit and have to figure out if I can get at it to clean it off. I think the egg rolls I love so much are the troublemaker because they seem like they have a lot of oil in their crusty wrappers. This weekend I’m hoping to see if I can clean whatever is causing the problem. Course it doesn’t help that the smoke alarm is not far from my kitchen.

I made fries in my air frier last night and my daughter almost ate all of them before I could put the ribs I had done in the IP on the table. Dinner was a success,
