Who is behind it?
The website is run by a small editorial team focused on everyday cooking and on the air fryer as a kitchen appliance. The team has been working with air fryer recipes since 2025, and all content is published under the name the editorial team, which is responsible for every recipe, from the first draft to the latest update.
The aim is simple: whether you have chicken breasts, a salmon fillet or a bag of frozen chips in front of you, you should find the right time and temperature here and know when the food is ready and safe to eat.
How a recipe is made
Choosing the dishes
Recipes are written for the dishes that really end up in the air fryer, from chicken and jacket potatoes to chicken wings, salmon or a sponge cake. Every topic starts from the questions people ask: how long, what temperature, and what if it is frozen?
Written for the air fryer
A recipe is written from the start for circulating hot air, not simply adapted from the oven. Time and temperature depend on the size, thickness and fat content of the food, and every recipe says how to tell when the dish is ready.
Food safety
Meat, poultry and fish are always cooked to a safe core temperature. The reference is Food Standards Agency (FSA) guidance: food is safe once it has been heated to 70 °C for 2 minutes or 75 °C for 30 seconds, so recipes give 75 °C in the centre for poultry, minced meat, sausages and reheated food, and 70 °C for whole cuts of pork. Whole cuts of beef and lamb can stay pink in the middle as long as the outside is properly cooked.
Technical check
Before a recipe is published it is checked point by point. Are all the ingredients listed with quantities? Do the times and temperatures match in the steps, the tables and the answers? Do the nutrition values fit the ingredients? If there is an error, the recipe is not published.
Ongoing updates
Recipes are reviewed when readers get in touch or when something can be explained more clearly. The date of the latest update is shown at the top of every recipe.
What you will find in every recipe
- Exact quantities in grams, millilitres, spoons and whole items.
- Time and temperature, plus a table of variations such as frozen, thickness and size.
- Core temperature for meat, poultry and fish.
- Common problems and fixes, in case the result is not what you expected.
- Nutrition per serving, calculated from the ingredients.
- Storing and reheating leftovers.
All the times and temperatures are also collected in the air fryer cooking times and temperatures table.
Sources and food safety
Advice on core temperatures, hygiene, storage and reheating is based on guidance from the UK Food Standards Agency (FSA): food is safe once it has been heated to 70 °C for 2 minutes or 75 °C for 30 seconds, and should be steaming hot all the way through with no pink meat. Recipes use 75 °C in the centre for poultry, minced meat, sausages, offal, rolled joints and reheated food, and 70 °C for whole cuts of pork. The FSA does not give temperatures for rare or medium steaks and lamb, so those figures are common kitchen temperatures. Nutrition values are calculated from standard values for each ingredient and are a guide only.
Independence and advertising
The website is free to use and is funded by advertising. Adverts are kept separate from the editorial content, and the recipes are written to work in any ordinary air fryer, whatever the brand.
Corrections and updates
If you have found a mistake, or a time does not suit your air fryer, please write to us. Every message is reviewed, errors are corrected as soon as possible and the date on a recipe is updated whenever it changes.
