Thank you for the charts for air frying.
Please tell me how to make crispy sweet potato fries.
Hi Jean,
Getting sweet potato fries crispy is a bit of a challenge because of the moisture content in sweet potatoes. The key is to cut them into relatively thin sticks, spritz with oil at the beginning and part way through cooking and cook in small batches so that the fries are not sitting on top of one another. It’s a little more challenging than with regular potato fries, but it can be done.
Hi meredith, I would like to say thank you for all the formation you share here and your cook books I would be lost with them. The one thing would like to pass on that I have learned the hard way is when cooking food in the air fryer that has far in it like hamburger or bacon is a good idea to add some little water too the pan, if not you will smoke up the kitchen real guick! I also learned to watch while cooking for any hint of smoke, is time for more water. I really in joy your web site and cook books. Thank you for all you do meredith. Ron
I love your site Meredith. I have the 5 .3 Air Fryer and two of your cook books. I use Air Fryer three or more times a week. Your recipes are so easy and 😋. Miss you on tv. I know you will do well here on blue Jean chef. I will follow you. Thank you 🙏
God Bless You, Meredith
I have learned so very much from you
Thank you
Love my airfrie r but can I use it to pop popcorn?
Hi Fran. I’ve tried popcorn in the air fryer and it does work IF YOU HAVE A MESH BELOW THE AIR FRYER ELEMENT. That is important. If you don’t have a mesh below the air fryer element, the popcorn can pop right up into the element and catch on fire. I have to admit that I prefer popcorn made on the stovetop or in a popcorn maker to the air fryer, however.
I bought a pressure cooker and still don’t know how to use it. I would like to cook baby back ribs in itDiann
Hi Dianne. Check out this recipe here for a ribs recipe: https://bluejeanchef.com/recipes/bbq-baby-back-ribs/ You can also watch my pressure cooker 101 video for a lesson on how to use a pressure cooker: https://bluejeanchef.com/cooking-school/pressure-cooking-101/

I would like to print out the cooking chart, but didn’t see a print option. Is there one?
Hi Debbie, If you click on the “Download Cooking Chart” button right above “View Cooking Chart”, you’ll be able to download and then print a nicer version of the chart.
Thank you for the chart! I’ll use it everyday.
Any hunts on cooking the frozen croissants in the air fryer? I like to bake just two or three and hate heating my big oven to do that.
You can cook croissants in an air fryer, but they don’t come out as nicely as in the oven. The fan blows down on the croissants and they often become somewhat misshapen in the air fryer. Try cooking them at 340ºF for about half of the oven time suggested. You can make croissants from store-bought dough – 350ºF for about 8 minutes. You do need to turn the croissants (both kinds) over halfway through for even heating.
Thank you, to such a wonderful lady. You are always watching for all of us👍 The charts are great, also!
Thanks for the great charts, It does make it easier to go from one tool to another without the worry or confusion. Thanks again.
Thank you do much. For everything you post. You help make everyone lives so much easy. To me your are the best for teaching..
Thank you for the Charts. Will the Air Fryer chart work with the Breville Toaster Oven/Air Fryer?
Hi Donna. I’m not 100% familiar with the Greville Toaster Oven/Air Fryer, but I’m sure it uses the same convection technology that other air fryers use, so I will venture to say yes – the chart should work with any air fryer that hold the temperature.
I have been watching and printing the recipe that I think would be great to try
Really enjoying your videos.
Note that on the downloadable PDF version of the Air Fryer Cooking Chart (the one near the top of this webpage you want to print) there is an error under beets. It says 4 minutes, but it should say 40.
I have had the older version of the chart with my cookbooks since early 2018, and it is a great convenience.
Thanks for catching that typo, Warren. I’ll get an updated version on the site.
Do you have any advise for AirFry Ovens, I purchase a Frigidaire with Air Fry feature and I wonder whether the times in the table work the same way or may be different due to larger setting?
Hi Annabelle. I think with a large oven that has an air fry feature, you probably will need to increase the times slightly. Smaller, more compact air fryers have more intense heat directed at the food. Larger spaces will take just a little longer.
Thanks for all your hints and tips on Air Fryers. I really use them. I love my Air Fryer even more with your help.
Thank you for this chart, I won’t be scare to use it.
